Power? Hip Flexors? Odd q

[crazycanuck]

Thanks ladies,

LB-i don't have a weight bench at home...Perhaps I can do it at the pilates studio i go to. The guys & gals add weights to my routines for me...

I shall check out the links you provided Zen.

Sometimes the body needs better cardio, sometimes its muscular strength that's limiting. Sometimes a little bit of both.

I would say strengthen the whole package as a wild guess...

I vote glutes and quads....

Don't forget that a good strong properly trained core will also enhance power...as would appropriate power training.

Actually, CC, I don't either; just a pretty good collection of free weights, and furniture. I used a bench from a table set to do the benchpress when I used to do that work out.

If I were going to a gym, yes, I'd definitely use the Smith machine. You can do soo much with one of those.

I think my point was - whatever exercises you choose to do, keep them focused on glutes, quads, hamstrings, and chest girdle, and keep the weights high, the reps low, and the sets medium.

That's what gets you power.

Hugs and butterflies,
