I have been trying to lose my pregnancy weight recently and just started a new exercise program this week. Do you do any strength training to help lose weight? Only tiny 5 pound weights for my arms while I am cycling That sounds interesting, will you be increasing the weight as well over time? I think it will be a while before that. I'm trying to increase the reps first. Okay, for your training, are you also employing various exercises to target specific muscle groups? Not really, just trying to strengthen my body for now. Wouldn't I need a different kind of training if I want to increase my triceps or other muscle groups?
