It usually takes about 1 - 1 1/2 hrs to finish. It is comprised of weight lifting exercises as well as body weight exercises that all vary depending on the user. If they want to make it harder, do the harder version or add more weight. It is really just a good coverage of good fundamental body building and fitness exercises. If you would like a copy of it, I would be happy to send it to you.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/StraightToTheBarComments/~4/VtdiPcw8rCg" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/StraightToTheBarComments/~3/VtdiPcw8rCg/from_the_archives_give_your_wo.html Mark 2009-06-08T11:52:53+10:00 http://www.straighttothebar.com/2009/05/from_the_archives_give_your_wo.html#156898 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mwAcQc4_1puAr6FFXmKx-CiuKBc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mwAcQc4_1puAr6FFXmKx-CiuKBc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mwAcQc4_1puAr6FFXmKx-CiuKBc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mwAcQc4_1puAr6FFXmKx-CiuKBc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><p>I used step ups when I first started as a beginner 10 years ago. I simply forgot about them, but I think they are great for knee rehab situations. As you&#8217;ve said the height adjustment can really help you strengthen your quads or hamstrings one at a time&#8230;let&#8217;s you focus on building more strength in one or the other.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/StraightToTheBarComments/~4/j7xph29BCrU" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/StraightToTheBarComments/~3/j7xph29BCrU/the_stepup_a_real_squat_altern.html Weight Lifting Complete 2009-06-18T23:06:44+10:00 http://www.straighttothebar.com/2006/09/the_stepup_a_real_squat_altern.html#157014
