Mike,

Skeeter alludes to this in a later note, but I'd be interested in starting some weight training, and curious how the heck you avoid major soreness when you only lift once a week.

I just turned the big 5-0 this year, and am in the best aerobic shape of my life (I do tough aerobics classes 4-5 times a week). But except for my abs, my whole upper body is very weak compared to my lower body.

Have to admit that the appealing part of your regimen to me is the shortness of the workouts (I find lifting boring beyond belief, especially if I am doing it by myself). Will this kind of regimen work for novices, or best for maintaining already-achieved strength?

FWIW, I've had really good luck with MSM/Glucosamine/Chrondroitin capsules to help with minor joint pains. Don't know if they would help for muscle soreness after lifting.
