Hump Day Poll: Newsworthy?

source If that brings you warm fuzzies, you're welcome.  If you don't know what the heck that's referring to, then you might be too young to understand most of my references here and should probably brush up !   We are going on year 9 of not having watched the news.  I remember the last time we went to Kauai in 2016 (holy crap, that makes me want to cry) we didn't watch the news once and couldn't believe how much happier we were.  We decided to see how long we could push it and here we are almost a decade later.   It's enough to be inundated on internet sites on the hourly with the latest dumpster fire lit that should have nothing to do with the kind of stuff it's reporting but to voluntarily watch the news just is not something I have in me.  I rarely watch live tv because of the commercials (well more commercials) but I left it on once a few years ago when a show I was watching went live and the news came on right after.  I wasn't watchin...

Hump Day Fun Poll


It's mid-week and I've got nothing exciting to report other than yesterday I just got the new strength training routine from Girls Gone Strong that I'm excited to look at. 

So let's do a fun poll.

Do you strength train?  If so, how often and what weight range do you typically lift?

  1. I strength train 3 times per week with heavy dumbbells. I am glad we do because I am so much stronger as a result and it is a great workout.

  2. Yep, 2-3 times per week with kettlebells right now. I life heavy, whatever kind of training I am doing.

  3. I do strength train on the opposite days of my swimming, and I typically use light to mid weights depending on the exercise, with the average being around 8 lbs.

  4. No but want to. Scared of injury.

  5. I did in my 30s and I know how critical it is to losing weight and staying fit. But ever since I herniated a disk 6 years ago I've had a hard time getting back into it. I'm so prone to injury. Even doing body weight training is hard to do consistently.

  6. I do:) Usually 3-4 times per week with only one of those being heavy. Like EML above I have herniated discs and had a spinal fusion almost 20 years ago. So I’ve got to be very careful. But I’ve learned to modify a lit by bracing against a wall, doing some bicep and tricep exercises laying down when necessary due to pain. The biggest thing for me is to limit the new trend of combo exercises and to go much slower. Weights have always been an integral part of my ongoing health. The days off are usually walk days.

    1. I should follow your lead and quit trying the combo exercises. I have access to a community weight room where I could do isolation exercises but feel self-conscious about showing up, hitting two stations, then leaving. I need to get over myself.
