How can you find out what type of muscle fibers you have?? Now I'm curious! I haven't seen a huge difference in my strength over the years, which I guess is not a good thing (once I was able to do 20 pushups without stopping, I just never tried to do more, haha!), but I have seen improvements in my endurance. Just little things really. Like being able to walk up a super-long stairwell

La- So gald you liked the potatoes =) You know what, I leave the skin on sometimes, and others I may just peel them in stripes so it's just some skin. It's tasty, you can eat it. With full skin on you need to cut through it, that's why I started with peeling a bit. Haven't seen a FIRM video in YEARS! From what I remember it's a decent workout..as long as you do that and switch

I have that exact same machine at my gym and I love it!

Ahhh, those muscle diagrams are bringing back bad memories of physiology course from last semester. ;)

I use The FIRM videos at home. What do you think of them? Anyway, off topic, I tried your sweet potato recipe from posts ago, and I realized after peeling mine that it looked like you had left the skins on! Are they tasty? Can you eat them? I thought the sweet potatoes were SUPER great! Thanks for the ideas.

Great post! Muscle fibers was one of the first chapters in my PT book as well! :)
Glad you like your new gym! I actually have two memberships right now (one at LA Fitness just because it is convenient to where I work) and the other to the YMCA because they have Zumba classes and are REALLY close to my house. Two memberships = I really have no excuse LOL!

Hope the oatmeal cookies were tasty. Great photos of your gym, love your pink water bottle, love love pink. I think I got the most endurance gains from doing spinning classes in the gym and I do strength training dvds at home. I mainly use some of the Firm dvds, Jillian Michaels, Tracie Longs and I've ordered the Swat Dvds.
