I love strength training. I do Body Pump a few times a week and have been pleased to notice what a difference it has made. Strength training options are endless and it's especially great when they can be done in front of the tv.

I had oats in a jar this morning too! : ) Ha, I wonder how many bloggers have oats in a jar on the same morning and don't even know it.

I like strength training but HATE doing it at the gym. I don't like the environment and the equipment at my gym. For the past few nights I've done some strength training at home and am enjoying it so much more! I can play around with what I do and just change it up. I think this is going to help me a lot, especially with a Thursday toning class.

I go through stages with strength training. Right now I'm in the zone and do 20 minutes every morning, but there are times when I totally hate it. I love the results from it though - so gotta keep it up!

I like your game idea!

Sorry you didn't like the oats in a jar.

I hate strength training simply because I feel a little clueless about it when I'm on my own.

I happen to love strength training! On days when I don't go to the gym, my favorite thing to do is sit in front of the TV and do my squats, lunges, lift, etc. I'm not a runner and cardio had never been my favorite thing to do so I feel really great when I get a good strngth training in!

Every balanced workout program should contain strength training including heavy weight bearing exercises. Bodyweight will only get you so far. Invest in a wide range of dumbellz if u can't afford gym memebership. For now I keep memebership because my asthma doesn't allow me to workout outside in the heart of winter or the suffocating summer heat. Thankfully I can justify $33/mo for gym

I lurrrrve strength training. Always have. I love lifting heavy!

For those who need an extra push or motivation, I always recommend the book New Rules of Lifting for Women.

I had oats in a jar for breakfast too!
I love to strength train, but if I am short on time, I always choose cardio. I love the multitasking of it!

I love strength training. It's my favorite, and honestly the reason I don't do more right now is because of marathon training. You'd better believe that come Dec 13th I will be hitting up the gym quite a lot!
