I cannot push this site/magazine enough - Great discussions, articles, suggestions, etc.
Strength is not a race. Strength does not require weights. Strength calls for form and concentration. Have a purpose. Set a goal. The season is just around the corner.
Weekend Conditioning!
Be sure to take care of your 100 crunches and 50 push-ups each day. Cross-train (swim, bike, volleyball, etc.) for at least 40min either on the days we do not meet. Take a day off each week. Be responsible for yourself!
