Oh yes, I forgot! On Monday we (Fisher and myself) were in the weight room (well, so was the rest of the class, but focusing on us two.) and we were doing the same workout we did at the beginning of the year when I looked a little closer at the descriptions of each workout. Each workout has a little thing above the description and it's really hard to see because it looks like this. It specifically mentions what each of the workouts targets in the body. Most of the workouts included "core" in the list of things they work on, but some of them included legs and other things that Fisher and myself aren't really trying to workout. So I think I'll spend a bit of time hitting up the interwebs for a new site to find a good workout for the things we want to work on. Hopefully a site that doesn't tell us to do 500 pushups. Wouldn't mind using some of the machines that we have at our disposal. What I could do is make my own workout based on what we have after doing a bit of research on what muscle groups can be worked on with each machine. Which, now that I think about it, wouldn't be a bad idea. I know a lot of people in the class hardly use the machines because we kinda know what they do, but no one really knows the specifics. If we actually knew what muscle groups they used we could use the machines that target the muscle we individually are trying to work on. Hm, maybe I will do that. We'll see.

YES YES YES! This is what I am talking about in the other two comments. You are plenty smart enough to figure out what you want to get out of a weight room and why machines may or may not be useful to you. This is a good start!
