I have been weight training for a couple of years but have recently gotten into a rut so i was hoping this website would help me. How should i modify my recommended work out.

Why dont you follow the program for a couple of weeks to see if it suits you?

Male or female...exercise is exercise...benefits to health (body and mind) are there as long as you're willing to change your life. If you're concerned about building a lot of muscle, don't be, it's very difficult for women to "bulk up".

The best thing to get out of the rutt is to learn new exercises and try to master them. :big_smile: -------------- "One Ring to rule them all; One Ring to find them; One Ring to bring them all, and in the Darkness bind them." -LOTR Trilogy
