That's actually some really good muscle tone.

I need to figure out some yoga that won't bore me senseless. *sigh*

The tricep is one of my favorite muscles.

ETA: My muscles don't look like that at rest. In certain relaxed positions you can see a little definition but it doesn't look like that. If you flex your tricep you might be able to see a bump! Put your arm at your side and make a fist. Twist your thumb towards your body and tighten up your muscle on top - try to pull your arm as straight as you can.

Before my nerve/muscle damage got bad I use to work out 5 times a week. For me the weight training is what worked the best and I did a little cardio before and after. I would spend around 40 minutes with the weight training and I firmed up all over. I dont enjoy cardio, lol but always loved the weights

If anyone has any work out suggestions that a person with bad hands, shoulders, knees and ankles can do I could use the help.

weight training 3 times a week. legs 1 day, arms and chest another day, and back and shoulders the last. i do a half-hour of cardio about 5 days a week. usually the elliptical or power walking.

lately i've been trying to mix it up with some short distance jogging and also the stationary bike.

looking to get into some yoga, and i wish i should fit more kayaking in, but since i dont have my own, it's a little tough.

sounds like you need to prep a little before you start your workout, have a healthy snack, and keep that water coming. make sure you're getting plenty of sleep.

my trainer recommends just what ratmist said...quick five minutes of cardio, then weight training, and then cardio.

good luck!

How you work on your triceps? And how long does the result shows?

When I actually get into a routine of going to a gym I qualify the walk to the gym (~5 mins) as my warm up and then I do like 15-20 mins on the bike (I HATE cardio...its so boring) and then I do about 30 mins of various weights including leg press, butterfly press, crunches, chest pulls and rows, etc...

I love weights....

I need to go to the gym more often though...and this year I am gonna bike IRL more often too....I wanna see how long it will take for me to bike from my school to the walmart and then go there every once in a while...and perhaps bike to my boyfriends sometime too...
