Bev; I understand completely. There isn't enough heavy work in the
winter on a homestead to keep in shape. Yeah, I haul wood every day,
but that isn't enough, with all the extra sitting around. As we get
older, it's more important to stay in shape so we don't hurt
ourselves when the work DOES come.
I do the Walk Away the Pounds videos. The 4 mile is a nice one, but
it takes an uninterupted hour to do. She uses weights in the others,
but not in the 4 mile for some reason, so I added the weights to that
one; she uses 3 pound, I use 5 pound hand weights. That's no where
near enough weight training to be ready for...oh, say, pulling a 300
ewe out of the mud (which I've had to do more than once), or other
everyday homestead tasks. I'd like to add more weight training, but
don't have a weight set....is doing lots of reps with smaller weights
as good for building muscle?
