[OT]Exercise follow-up

[]
From today's NY Times:
The main problem with weight lifting is that many people
do it all wrong, said Kent Adams, the director of the
exercise physiology laboratory at California State
University at Monterey Bay. They dont have a program or
a goal. Technique may be sloppy. Or, Dr. Adams said,
they use weights that are too light. Muscles need to be
stressed if they are to respond, he said.

Dr. Kraemer is on the same page. One study, he said,
found that women tend to lift half or less of what they
could lift. And this happened even when women were
working with personal trainers, he said.
