My Favorite Products That Make My Life Easier
I'm sure you probably know from today to Friday (11th) is Prime Day. If you remember my post about how I can keep this place up and running yearly, you know unfortunately Amazon is really the only way I can make that happen since I'm considered a 'mini' blogger. My sassy thoughts doth not jibe with sponsors, my following is small (which I love actually) so Amazon affiliate links are the only way I can hit that target. I will say that due to tariff pauses expiring at the end of day today, prices could go way up tomorrow (9th) so I would encourage you to buy today even though Prime Day doesn't end until the 11th. I know I will be. I'm going to share products I love and if you check 'em out and buy them or anything on Amazon once you click through, it'll help me keep the place jumpin'. Electric Spin Scrubber I can't begin to tell you the game changer this is especially for someone who isn't a clean freak. The last thing my mind but mor...
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.
ReplyDeleteYep, 2-3 times per week with kettlebells right now. I life heavy, whatever kind of training I am doing.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteNo but want to. Scared of injury.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
