Fitness Update - Plus TGU Challenge!

Hey everyone,

Over the past couple of months, we have tried a few new workout styles.  We feel it is important to make these changes to help keep motivated and keep our muscles guessing. Read on as we discuss how these changes worked for us, as well as our next fitness challenges.

What Makes a Good Workout?

Hey everyone,

Since we last posted, we had several good workouts. Why were they good? These probably weren't the best workouts we've ever done. I don't think we could claim to have set any particular records, even if by our standards, we did lift heavy. We didn't outdo ourselves with frequency - admittedly, we're still getting in about 3 to 4 workouts a week. Sometimes it's a real challenge to fit a workout in.
