Muscle Making - Get in SHAPE and a burning metabolism
Resistance machines ideal, but not necessary. Can be done CAREFULLY with free weights, but keep in mind that the true mission is to wear out muscles, so be prepared to drop the free weight to a safe place.
One muscle group at a time, start with legs, then arms, chest, abs, upper and lower back by slow moves, with NO momentum, NO stopping, 3-5 minutes per muscle group. This uses all efforts to wear out muscles while avoid using joints and tendons as brakes. This requires CONCENTRATION, so it is more interesting, less boring, and hey, it is only 20-30 minutes a week. Do the weight lift, sit up, push up, pull up or something you feel safe doing in slow motion, with constant muscle use, until you just can't lift anymore, then hold for 10-20 seconds. Do not rest, move on to the next muscle group until you have made your rounds.
You will feel slightly spent, a warm, mild, almost itch all over, but not sore or exhausted. You will be up and about, but don't plan on anything else strenuous for the day. Drink plenty of water before and after, eat either carbs or protein right after the work out.
