Re: [ACEsthetics] Weight training

If you think about it, squats are just the act of sitting down without the chair. Keep your weight is your heals and your chest up.  Before starting Crossfit, I had pain in my knees going up steps and I thought I could never do squats.  At 50 y/o,  I can do hundreds without knee pain.  Its all in the technique.

Squats are really great....as are lunges, for legs that is...

At my age, I prefer the Smith equipment for this though...yes it doesn't

create as much fine muscle work, since the bar and weights are on a track, but

it does help avoid injury, and allows you to take it slow at first.

BUT, definitely do this under the guidance of a personal trainer.

I can't imagine how anyone can do effective workout without a trainer.

I am thinking that with some of the aches and pains I have been getting, I need to be challenging my muscles a bit more. 

My son sent me this link about doing squats, it is pretty interesting. http://stronglifts.com/how-to-squat-with-proper-technique-fix-common-problems/

What do you real workout fanatics think about this, will I hurt myself, can I really look like Arnold in a few weeks?

Thanks
