https://community.qvc.com/t5/Wellness/Women-s-Weight-Training-Any-Tips/m-p/239776#M4686 <P>Hi Ladies,</P> <P>I belong to a gym and do 45+ of some kind of cardio 4-7 times/week. Of course, there are some weeks that aren't this great, but for the most part, I strive to include 45 minutes of cardio into my day. I also do some light weight training with free weights. I do a couple moves that a friend learned from a physical therapist after recovering from surgery. I also do squats with weights for my legs. All sounds great, right? But the problem is that I don't know if I'm doing the weights correctly. I'm doing pretty standard moves, basic bicep curls, etc. But I'm not sure what weight amount I should be lifting. I started with 5lb weights and now I try to use the 7.5lb. But I never see any changes. My arms still look, well, flabby. Am I doing this wrong? </P> <P>Yes, my gym has a trainer I could meet with. And I may go that route and try to figure out what I'm doing wrong. However, I thought I'd check in here first and see if anyone has advice or tips. </P> <P>TIA<IMG src="https://community.qvc.com/DesktopModules/ExactTarget/Controls/TextEditor/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/biggrin.gif" alt="{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}" /></P> Fri, 10 Aug 2012 16:13:10 GMT glmama 2012-08-10T16:13:10Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Wellness/Women-s-Weight-Training-Any-Tips/m-p/239776#M4686 <P>Hi Ladies,</P> <P>I belong to a gym and do 45+ of some kind of cardio 4-7 times/week.
