A little self-education

Having taken the initial steps on my adventure to increase my physical strength, I wanted to gain knowledge in the way of performing exercises with proper lifting technique. I rolled out to my local library to see what I could dig up. I had forgotten how musty libraries smell… but anyway… I couldn’t really find what I needed. I need videos to go with the pictures from the books. I felt this would be the best approach to take since I am just in the learning phase and not looking to pull something. After a bit of web searching, I discovered the following:

http://www.chunkfitness.com

http://www.bodyrock.tv

For me, the best place was Chunk Fitness. The level of detail they delve into is incomparable to the other sites. Sure, the girl on bodyrock is nice to look at but I can only take so much blabber followed by huffing and puffing. The people at chunk really did it right by explaining the exercises in such great detail yet they still keep it simple with the videos. Not to mention, they list the muscles used during each exercise so that really helps me understand exactly what I’m doing. Bravo.
