I think for me it was when I started reading messages on the Weight Watchers board talking about The New Rules of Lifting for Women and I became curious so I started reading the reviews on Amazon.
I was doing Joyce Vedral and you can lift pretty heavy weights in her routines but she usually goes so fast that I never really got about 8 and 10 lbs dumbbells.
I've done enough reading where I knew if I did lift heavier I would not bulk up so I wasn't worried about that but I just wasn't sure where to start with a routine. I just started NROL this week so I've just done 1 Workout A and 1 Workout B but let me tell you I am feeling it a lot in my triceps, hamstrings, and glutes. I'm used to do doing a lot of isolation excercises so I'm really surprised by this.
I've got more weights on order, bought a pull-up/chin-up bar. Not sure how I'm going to handle the squat rack though since I do all my workouts from home.
And you're right - Linda Hamilton totally rocked in Terminator!
