That’s great you gave the woman a compliment and she felt really proud of that.

Surprisingly, I used to life weights when I was like 7 years old! I could easily lift 40-50 lb dumbbells and later could bench press my weight. However, over the years, I’ve kind of gotten out of weight lifting.
Maybe one day, I’ll get into it again.

Weight lifting can definitely bring good results though, so keep up the good work with it.

good for you for complimenting her…I absolutely KNOW it made her day. Women need to be nicer to each other in general.

On another note, I can’t lift weights right now because of my neck injury and it is killing me. I fel like I’m slowly melting… waaa.

Enjoy the photo – it’s from a gig back in November where we had to dress are Roman Goddesses for a performance at Caesar’s Palace. My best friend from high school focused on my arms which have even changed shape more since this photo 7 months ago.

I don’t train w/free weights or equipment, as you know I do yoga. So the “weight” I’m slinging around is my own body weight. I’ve seen a noticeable change in the shape of my body in the 10 years I’ve been practicing, but it’s always nice when other people notice.

I have to admit that I go completely sleeveless all summer because I love showing off my arms & shoulders. :)

I’ve been weight lifting the last several months with a female co-worker and she is PSYCHED because her arms have transformed from being big and kind of loose to tight and defined. She looks great and loves wearing sleeveless shirts. And its not just her arms, her whole upper body is tighter and more defined than before.

I as a guy find women who lift hot. I know it makes everyone healthier and provides strength and endurance.

Sometimes lifting sucks but its worth the end results.

Exercising in general is a love-hate relationship for me. While I am lifting I just wish it would end! Sometimes it just hurts so much. I usually dread going to the gym, but am so happy I went when it’s over. AND I love having muscles! I’ve been lifting pretty regularly for the past year and a half, but have always been more muscley than not. It was so wonderful to feel myself getting stronger and actually seeing the muscles appear as the layer of fat thinned out. I’ve also been able to keep the weight off that I lost a year ago because I of weight lifting. It also helped me when I decided to start rock climbing. You definitely need upper body strength for that!

P.S. I love your posts! I just noticed your cute little picture up on my browser’s address line thingy!! I really like your new page!

That’s so awesome that you noticed the woman’s arms, and complimented her.

I love working with the weights. It definitely helps with the toning up.

It’s great you told her.
I always try to tell people when I notice something I like about them.

You really inspired me to try some weight lifting, now… I never did it!

(BTW! Hi, I’m Filipa and I’ve been following your blog for some months now (and I love it!), although I’d never introduced myself.)
