Sigh…I have the opposite problem. I wish I was a strong enough swimmer so that I could take advantage of the ocen that is 10 minutes walking outside of work.

Thanks for the suggestion of alternating different areas. I think I’ll alternate between upper and lower body every other day.
Dumb question. What’s the best way to shape up triceps? I think I’m spending way more effort on biceps and front, and less so on back, and I don’t want to end up lopsided.
I can almost fit in my old clothes I wore freshman year in college..which was (XX censored) years ago…[/quote]
For triceps, holding a comfortable (5lbs) weight raise you arm above your head, while supporting your elbow with the hand of your other arm. Lower the weight behind you head and them raise it slowly until your arm is straight again. Bench presses also work the triceps. If you want to attack your waistline, Pilates is the way to go. It focuses exclusively in building the “core” muscles around the center ie you tum. While it won’t get rid of fat, it will strengthen your mid-section and pull it in. Mat exercises are available in most gyms. I recommend these before progressing onto the full blown routine. I was an instructor many moons ago and worked in the weight loss industry.
