I just learned some new techniques for strength training using exercise ball, your own body weight and a band. It was do-able, but I felt it much more the next day then i do after weight lifting. I am definately going to learn more about this as it seems very effective and you don't need a gym to do it!

Anybody else adding in strength training?

“Transformation is not a future event. It is a present activity…That is why you must bring everything that you have to give in every moment…And it doesn’t have to be perfect, it’s not about perfect, it’s about effort. When you bring that effort every single day, that’s where transformation happens, that’s how change occurs.”

I am doing weight machines for strength training. As I am losing fat also (I've dropped about 20 pounds so far) I get excited to see muscle definition popping up in unexpected places. I go to the gym and then I also spend a good amount of time walking. I try to get in 1 1/4 hrs working out, but the past month and a half I have really slacked off. I'm trying to pick it back up again.
