She said it was called MET Metabolic Enhancement Training and she had gotten back to her pre baby shape and better in 2 months with it...
ANYBODY???

I never heard of it, my trainer does the ssssslowwwwwwww method as the concentric movement is just as important as the ecentric movement (up is just as important as down). I will ask her tomorrow when I show up for another round of torture. I am still sore from Friday!

Shammy you look great in your vacation pictures!!! You've been diligent and it shows.
My brother lifts weights and he advised me to work with weights slowly. This method is effective in building lean muscle and not bulk. Also, I would think lifting weights quickly and switching around would lead to some type of injury such as a pulled muscle, not to mention dropping a dumbell etc.

**Shammy** · 10-29-2007

I just spoke with my trainer and asked her about MET. She has heard of it, but it's not her cup of tea, meaning it's not how SHE trains people. Basically, it's more of an endurance/resistance type of training - you're not going to build much lean muscle lifting those lighter weights nearly as much as you are lifting heavier weights. For instance, I lift a lot of 20 pound weights (times two hands), sometimes even 35 pounds depending on the movement (rows are done with 35 pounds) and you simply can't lift that heavy when you're doing it at a fast pace. The MET method is more about jacking up your metabolism and burning fat. My trainer likes to keep the cardio as cardio and the weight training as weight training. If you want cardio - go take an aerobics class she says!

But when it comes to lifting, it's all about power and strength, nice and slow.

Anyone else read or see the news today about how closely BMI is tied to different cancers? That should really motivate me yet again.

btodd · 10-31-2007

Didn't hear the news.......I assume the higher your BMI, the higher the incidence of some cancers?? Nice, as I eat my 10th mini chocolate bar of the day!!

It was indeed depressing....no more than 1 drink a day for women, 2 for men. Here is the link ABC News: Ward Off Cancer: Limit Bacon, Alcohol

I was finally able to weigh myself today after awhile of not having access to a scale, since I refuse to have one in my home.

I've lost another 5 pounds!

It could be more since I actually weighed myself right after I ate. So that is a total of almost 50 pounds!
