AKELAZ's SparkPage 		I much appreciate this article. Some things here that I know and many more explained with clarity. The information is put together so well in a format that I can understand. I have been trying to grab back some of my muscle strength after a lifetime of not looking after myself at all so it is exactly what I need.

GRANNIES7's SparkPage 		The article would have helped me more if strenghth training with water weights in the pool were included.

LABYRINTH's SparkPage 		Excellent and detailed article, however it may be too technical for the beginner. It might be easier for the beginner if the topics were broke into separate articles or more examples given. I understand it myself but I just know from reading the Spark message boards that strength training seems to really confuse people.

SIRENALATINA's SparkPage 		Jen always gives advice that I agree with. I liked this article a great deal. It explained many things about weight training that I was not sure about - like what core means. I keep hearing this term everywhere, but never really understood the exact muscles involved. I didn't even note that this was her article until I finished it - it does not surprise me at all. I am a big fan of Jen's.

TAZMOMSGOL's SparkPage 		Whoa! I had no idea about "The Detraining Principle: After consistent strength training stops, you will eventually lose the strength that you built up...in two weeks or less!" Thx for that warning! Need to be consistent for the rest of my life!

Chef Meg's Zucchini Muffins
Submitted By: CHEF_MEG

These muffins are very filling!

The whole wheat flour makes for a dense muffin, which I like. You only need to eat one! If you want a lighter muffin try using whole wheat pastry flour, which is more finely ground and available in the bulk bins at larger grocery stores.
