3 Mistakes You're Making When Using Dumbells
leanmeanworkoutmachine:
Using the Same Pair For Every Move
Why it’s bad: Not all muscles have the same strength.

The fix: Use different weights to target muscles effectively. I keep a set of six-, eight-, and 10-pound weights on hand,...

Feeling a little discouraged
I know that fat in certain areas burns slower than others and that I have seen other improvements, but I am getting a little discouraged not seeing any in my tummy. I feel like it is getting bigger and I just lost the bubbly butt that I had =/

Last Few days
Yesterday I did the second day of level 2 30DS, and today I went bike riding. It feels great to do something with my boyfriend other than sit around and watch movies. He has had all of his spring break to relax and not work with his dad =]. I hope we still get to go hiking and biking once he starts school next week.
I’m not sure how healthy my eating has been, I went out to a Japanese...

I think it was because earlier in the day I mentioned how we could work out together and I dont usually bring it up because he works so often and late and is usually dead beat tired at...

Just realized I haven't been running in a while
I have gone for walks and have done the shred, but no running. I know I need to go today b/c I am going to a baby-shower later and can’t do the 30DS since my dad has a migraine and level 2 has a ton of jumping.
