Rep Power: 1 Ginger is on a distinguished road
Default

Don't be too impressed. My upper body gets nowhere. The reverse fly is the worst. 10 reps at 40 lbs, 10 at 50 and I'm lucky to do 4 or 5 at 60 lbs. It;s been that way for a long time. It's like I maxed out already.

I think I'll do what Whirlwind said. What's a good replacement for the reverse fly? Could I use free weights if I bend forward and raise toward the ceiling? (Sorry, I don't know the proper names for different exercises)

Mostly I just want to tone up. I look good in clothes (as opposed to a swimsuit). I was blessed with a tall thin frame like my dad. I'm also blessed to have a husband thinks I'm beautiful, but I want to continue to look my best for him and for me.

I'm very healthy, but I feel so much better both physically and mentally since I've been working out.
