1. I think the 1 minute sets are a really good intensity because for one minute you are pushing yourself to your limit and then you move on to the next exercise and do the same thing
2. I liked the step ups because that is the exercise that made me sweat the most and i could go a minute without completely collapsing or taking breaks
3. I did not like the chair dips because they were the most difficult for me and my arms began to really burn. I had to take very frequent breaks for this one
4. It was not extremely hard to fit a workout into my schedule 3 times a week nut I think that is partly because it was a pretty short. I do not think that I could fit a 2 hour workout a couple times a week and still get everything done
5. lunges, leg curls, and deadlifts are all good exercises for the lower body
6. Russian twists, sit ups, and crunches are all good for the abdominal muscles
7. pull ups and the bent over row are both good upper back exercises. For the chest, bar bell bench presses and bent forward cable crossovers are excellent for strengthening.
8. The plank, standing dumbell presses, and front raises are great exercises for the shoulder muscles.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
