DAD has been doing some reading on weight training. He has recently become convinced that he is not making gains in building muscle mass because he is not lifting heavy enough weight. So he added more weight. Progress so far? Last December would lift 35 lbs. with one arm; now he curls 70 lbs.
That is progress.

The Twins love to work out with Dad. EJ can lift 6 lbs. from the floor to overhead. Buggy, who doesn't seem to make as much effort, can lift 4 lbs. overhead.
Dad has also been influenced by a school of thought that dismisses the importance of cardio or interval training. Some claim that increase in heart rate accompanied by lifting weight is sufficient. He thinks the idea has merit, but those proponents overlook something important about cardio; it is fun!
