Debbie,
Tofu does not taste like chicken. It tastes like chicken flavored tortilla shells. Or like really thick bread flavored like chicken. It is good, and has a chicken flavor. But it is much drier than chicken (at least how my hubby cooks it, but then, his chicken is a bit dry, too).
I do love DDR but the songs get a bit repetitive. I just picked up a belly dancing video from a rummage sale and just got done with it! I'm still sweating. About to hit the shower pretty soon before I stink up my whole house!
The weights... I just tried to list everything I could do with them. My current list is all with handheld weights. I have an incline bench that can go horizontal. There's no place to put a rack for the barbell type weights.
5 lb weights
Lateral raises in standing
8 lb weights
forward raises in standing
tricep extension in standing
15 lb weights
bicep curl palm up
bicep curl to opposite shoulder
hammer curl
shoulder press laying on my
chest fly laying on my back
chest fly laying on my stomach (much harder than on my back and can't do nearly as many)
tricep extension on my back from opposite shoulder straight into the air
Row, curl, shoulder press combo in standing
20 lb weights in each hand
bent over rows
dead lift
chest press while standing (or some days sitting if I'm really lazy).
No weights
Push ups (on my knees)
Once I can do 12 reps without feeling like my muscle is going to die, then I up to the next weight. I started with two pounds on my front and lateral raises! Those are TOUGH!!! And I only lift to shoulder height on them.
The list takes me about 15 min. If I have extra time or get it done quickly, I go through it a second time.
I could definitely do more for the chest press and dead lift, but don't have weights to go higher. Since the dead lift isn't necessarily great for my back, I'm not too worried about not increasing the weight. And the chest press, I always add in push ups so I dont want to buy heavier weights because those are the only two things I'd need them for and both can be compensated for in other ways.
Once I need heavier weights for everything, I suppose I'll have to give in and join a gym.
I also have a pull up bar and used to be able to do three pull ups in a row. Now I can do half a pull up (or a full one if I jump up just a tad
). I try not to cheat though!
