exercise pervs

[Guest guest]

I have a question for those with some experience lifting weights - using cybex

machines or any machines for that matter. the whole weight machine thing is

pretty new to me - about 2mo. before this I did some hand weights, free weights

but that was about it and with no consistency. now I'm doing at least twice a

week a routine of 10machines that primarily work the legs and arms. anyhow I've

been able to increase my weights some since I started but what I'm wondering is

that some days I just can't even lift nearly as much or as many reps - its like

some days I could easily do more and other days I can barely do half of what I

did.

I suppose its like anything - one day I'm starving and one day I'm not. but I

was just wondering since I have like no experience with these machines or this

type exercise. most of the trainers at the fitness center at night seem useless.

I still have one more session with a trainer but havent' had the time to do it.

This is normal. Sometimes it's because I am tired, or sometimes it

occurs just before my body let's me increase to the next level.

It's just like in the cardio...somedays I'm cool as a cuke and the

next day, doing the same thing, I will sweat to death.

I also will gain a couple of pounds just before I drop some more

weight.

I have profound respect for the body's ability to pull back and try

to protect itself from losing weight.

I know when it's hard to left or I'm cool, that it's just a matter of

time before I " win " over my body and I'm able to take it to the next

level. If I give up during these times, the body wins and gets to

keep it's weight and current fitness level.

It's kind of strange. It's my body, I live in it, but sometimes it's

almost like my brain is the host to two separate entities: my self

and my body. Oooooo.

Sue,

Did you mean excercise peevs or excercise pervs. I see the latter at

the gym all the time! lol
