Ewww, ewww, and double ewwww from me - touching old ppl's wet necks *shiver* You can make a very cool thriller from that idea. Ewwwwwwww

Hi, bb77 - Yeah I do that same thing. Not always, but I will park only once and walk where I want to be, even if it means it's two or three blocks. And I tend to carry dd as much as I can when in town. Like when I only need to buy a bread, I don't put her in a trolly, kwim? I also try and walk to town on Saturday's, I don't have lots of shopping to do then and it's only really to keep dd and me busy.

Bec, I can't agree more on what you get from exercise. You have said it perfectly. I just thought this morning (adoring myself in the mirror ) that I could have been this fit and healthy AGES ago, but NOOOOO I was just to lazy. My face looks so slim and my collar bones are just peeking and very seductive. And I too will never be stick thin, but I absolutely LOVE my arms at this stage. Evertime I pick up something heavy and my bicep bulge (ok, do a little bump) I fall in love with myself all over again. And the fact that I can do the amount of crunches that I do, is to me utterly astounding. I just love the way exercise affected my life.

Ok, you guys have me totally and utterly curious ... what the heck do you do in pump class!!!!!!!
Like I have read in other threads like Pump 41, or like Rac said Pump 65 - WTF?? Is there a web-page that I can have a look at? Maybe I can introduce that to my gym instructor or fit in an extra session for myself and do it on my own.

Saying that, Bec, I can't help you with your weight question don't know what you guys are talking about.
All I can say is that my dad said to increase like this for regular circut training: Example:
Week one: 3 reps 10kg
Week two: 2 reps 10kg, one rep 12kg
Week three: 1 rep 10kg, one rep 12kg, one rep 10kg
Week four: 1 rep 10kg, two reps 12kg
Week five: 3 reps 12 kg
It may sounds slow, but he said that if you do it like that, your body has time to adjust and you don't overwork yourself. (He was an springbok swimmer and trained alot when he was young, granted he did not do bodybuilding, but only build lean muscle. But that is what we girls want, right?? Not Johny Bravo pecs, just Lara Croft glutes!!)

BTW - I don't like circut training. I find it boring I need the interactiveness (is that a word?) of class.
