Salmon gives me muscles

It's rainy weather, so I have been relying on Jeanette Jenkins' Kickboxing-Bootcamp DVD to keep the exercise up. There's a couple of sections in the DVD that involve hand weights, but I've never used them.

The other morning, I decided to employ a well-known trick: using household items in your workout e.g. 500mL water bottles. Even Michelle Bridges uses water bottles as weights in her Crunch Time Workout clip below (around 1:14 and 2:12).



So I grabbed 2 x 415g tins of salmon from the pantry and used them as weights.

Wow! What a difference it made! I couldn't believe it. A lot harder than holding nothing, which is just what I've done in the past.
