I met my husband, Donovan, in college. He had a home gym in his basement and when we moved in together I got interested in lifting weights. I had always been thin, but had put on the "college fifteen" and was unhappy about it. Donovan showed me various exercises involving free weights. Over several years of tinkering with the free weights I noticed some nice changes in my physique, and liked it. After we both finished college we moved down to Denver, North Carolina where we had time to workout together and start more intense workouts. Periodically, we would visit a friend in Florida and workout at Powerhouse Gym or the YMCA. We started to notice that I was lifting more weight than some of the men in the gym. more on Jennifer from article source at powerandintensity.com |

Congratulations on your progress so far. It's wonderful that you have discovered weight training to be the most effective shaper for the body. Due to misguided advice from magazines and TV, many in your situation go through a time consuming process of experimentation with infomercial gadgets etc.
Just keep going in your current direction and you will continue to make heads turn, your husband proud and your girl friends jealous!!
Good luck,
