Ya I hear you about her managing the family, she has her hands full, but we always make time somehow to hit the gym, She just gets frustrated sometimes. I would help her out more but my work day usually consists of 14hr days. 6 days a week!!!!!!! So time is the issue. Will try about the whole picture thing, Don't know if she'll buy that but it might work.  |
Good Luck!!! You may also want to try to up the weights with every set... I usually start off like this for example:
Should press:
12 reps, 20 pounds
10 reps, 30 pounds
8 reps, 40 pounds
6, reps 50 pounds
drop the weight down to 10-15 and do 2 sets of 12 reps with a 10 second break!!!.
Just adjust to whatever weight she can withstand...
I usually try to get 20 reps in my last set...
It will help her burns calories and she will be aching... This will also increase her strength. I started working out about 1 month ago after not working out for almost years and have lost alot of strength, but it is coming back!!!
Good luck and sounds like you are a good motivation to her!!!
I have an old picture of myself in SB with my vette and it keeps me motivated to get back in shape.. I am still pretty cut, but need to drop about 10 pounds of fat to be a bit leaner!!!
