My resistance training quest

I told you I'd let you know how my weight training session went.  I did it!  It was worth the early trip to the gym.  I felt great during and after my 45 minutes of effort.   In fact, I have completed three more days of weights since.  OK, two weeks is not exactly a habit, but a person has to begin with one day followed by another and so on.  I told a few of my clients about my training experience.  I did note a certain amount of glee in their reaction to my statement that I was sore.  And now, it is with a voice of experience that I agree with them when they tell me a particular exercise is "hard".   Let me tell you a few reasons that I will continue to train regularly.  First of all, I've publicly told you I would.  Second, it really does feel great!  Third, the health benefits are limitless.  Finally, I have that "done something good for me feeling" and it stays with me to assist with healthy decisions the rest of the day.  One final note - a big "Thank You" to my son for my Mother's Day gift.  That music the iPod provides is quite motivating!  Beth
