Thots on strength training

There are different ways to exercise for strength and new science to support these newer thoughts

I have a few thoughts on strength training. I never wanted to spend
hours at a gym and only have done this for a brief period in the past. I
have an article on weight training and I will include a link for you to
read. It has some different thoughts on how to train for strength.
Over the years, I have changed the way I do strength training. I now
only do ''body weight exercise'' from a book "You Are Your Own Gym" by
Mark Lauren (I also use his online routines). Whether you choose to use
his routines, is your choice. What I got from the book is "the why"
for varying your exercise routines in intensity, time, number of
repetitions, etc. Another important thing that I learned is HOW to
exercise and how to get the most out of the time spent. You can exercise
at home or at a gym, the important thing is that you do. Here is the

Here is a link to Mark Lauren site if you want to look him up https://marklauren.com/workout-routines/hiit/
Exercise
has become a ''4 letter word'' for some folks, so I just call it
movement. I like Lauren's video because of the different ways shown to
move my body. Some are challenging and many of very easy and for me, I
feel great with or without working up a sweat.
