(1) Toning Tips – Working with Weights

When working with weights, you, yourself, will need to determine the size to use. You need them to be heavy enough

that they challenge you and yet not so heavy that they cause pain (remember, you will feel some soreness in the beginning, which is usually located in the muscle and eases after a few
weeks of training. If pain that originates in the joint lasts longer than a few weeks, you have exercised that joint too strenuously, so pull back.) To build strength, one uses a heavier weight or added resistance, lifting slowly with fewer repetitions, but continuing until you feel true muscle fatigue.

To build endurance, use lighter weights with more repetitions, but again repeat until muscle fatigue. You start increasing the size of your weights, along with the number of sets of repetitions as the workout becomes easier and/or you notice that you have reached a plateau. Don’t worry, you will not become a body builder!

It is recommended that we rest our muscles for at least 48 hours between working them. The reason for this is that it gives the muscles and muscle fibers we have challenged a chance to revive and also reduces the chance of overtraining. However, this rule/suggestion pertains to
heavy weight lifting where the goal is to build muscle size and strength. A body builder who wants to create size purposely trains for brief, very intense periods, followed by rest-days so that the muscle can grow.

On the other hand, if your goal is to become stronger and increase your lean muscle mass without building size, then it is suggested that you exercise for longer durations on a
daily or high-frequency basis with moderate intensity. Allow your muscles to fatigue, and when you feel you can’t complete more than three to five more repetitions, stop.
That represents your 70 to 75 percent threshold (of intensity).

(2) A Video Apology, along with Upcoming Events

WOW! What an eye opener (literally) I have experienced the past couple of days. My heavy duty computer has lost its DSL connection, so I have reverted to dialup. I can’t believe how slow it is – especially the videos. So, I apologize to those of you who haven’t been able to watch them.

Instead of the videos I was planning to use, here are some upcoming events that will be worthwhile and helpful. First, the woman, Alexandria Brown – the E-zine Queen, who wrote
the book, Boost Your Business with Your Own E-zine will be giving a two part live, no cost teleseminar on March 25th and 27th. To find out all about it and register visit:

Every year before his well known System Seminar, Ken McCarthy creates a new Pre-System Seminar series where he interviews the presenters and gives away the audio files. Even if you can’t attend his seminar, you will be able to

listen to nearly twenty-five hours of serious Internet marketing training at: http://www.thesystemblog.com

Theme: FASCINATION

The famous Tony Buzan – creator of Mind-Mapping in the late

1960s and one of the world’s leading authors who has authored and co-authored 80 books (79 on the brain, creativity and learning and Mind Sports and one volume of poetry) – is rumored as having a favorite reaction to most

happenings – both unexpected and expected.

He would say, “That’s FASCINATING.” Rather than complaining about a mishap, he would look at it as FASCINATING. I heard this on a tape of the “Fish! Tales” (see the section on

Creativity below). It reminded me of this brilliant man, and I have great news for you. He is still writing and lecturing.

His Mind-Mapping is used worldwide to open our thinking and brains. And his website is an absolute delight. Visit

http://www.mind-map.com/EN/ to read all about Buzan, his background, books, theories and Mind-Maps.

I guarantee you will be FASCINATED!

Creativity – The FASCINATING “Fish! Tales”

Recently, I have used my driving time to soak up the audio tapes of the “Fish! Tales.” This FASCINATING tape series and book relate how real people and businesses have creatively

applied the Fish Philosophy to their work and lives. So, what is it?

(4) Ask Your Questions and/or Share Your Feedback and Resources

I want this off-Wednesdays’ BONUS to be helpful and full of enlightening information that is useful to you. So, send me your questions. You can do this through e-mail or at http://www.creativekeys.net/askquestions.htm

I receive many questions about scripting a presentation, so have created a special Toolbox to guide you through it:

You’ve been asked to give a presentation and wonder where to start. All excellent speakers pre-plan and prepare. I have created this preparation Toolbox just for you!

I was prompted to offer this series of six + presentation worksheets because I have had so many searches on my http://www.powerfulpresentations.net website for scripts of already written speeches. Even if you are beginner, you don’t want a presentation written by someone else. You are unique. Your thoughts and experiences are unique. And, with spending time pre-planning, you will be terrific!

You may order your copy of The Presentation Planning Toolbox: Proper Preparation Promises Powerful Presentations at http://www.creativekeys.net/specialreports.htm

And, for additional, no hype recommendations, do visit my http://www.ChrisRecommends.com website. You will be glad you did!

Also, if you have some great resources you would recommend, let me know.
