Not so...at least for normal day to day workouts like what we all mostly seem to be doing. I do 3 sets - 1st set of reps 12 - then 10 then 8...that's what my trainer told me to do - although three sets of 10 works too - I like the 12-10-8 thing though....works well for me 
I am at that point - if I can keep up the gym I will do ok - I'm not dreading going anymore - and I am finally, once again, feeling good after workouts - so I'm hopeful that this time I will stick with this! |
Cool. The best thing to do is to stay in the moment. Maybe you can't exercise for the rest of your life but you can do it today. Know what I mean? It took my friend telling me to go up on my weights for me to do it. For some reason I was really wimpy about it, probably because I didn't want to appear any larger, stoopid!
