I've been told that every two to three weeks, I need to change my
weight training routine or else my body will become too
accustomed to it and I will stop seeing results. Is it really
necessary for me to change my entire routine, or do I only need
to increase weight and/or repetitions?
Dear Reader,
The body does adapt to weight lifting, so you won't see results
if you continue with the same routine. After weeks or months of
training, the same exercises that once exhausted you may seem
almost effortless. To experience continued improvement in
fitness, you need to challenge your body by making your workouts
progressively harder in one way or another.
Although people change at different rates, it's generally
recommended that people make a few alterations in their program
every four to eight weeks for continued results.

Weight training: Do I need to change my workout to see
results?-2-
The first of my father's illusions was that bears could survive
the life lived by human beings, and the second was that human
beings could survive a life led in hotels.
So says John Berry, son of a hapless dreamer, brother to a cadre
of eccentric siblings, and chronicler of the lives lived, the
loves experienced, the deaths met, and the myriad strange and
wonderful times encountered by the family Berry. Hoteliers,
pet-bear owners, friends of Freud (the animal trainer and
vaudevillian, that is), and playthings of mad fate, they
"dream on" in a funny, sad, outrageous, and moving
novel by the remarkable author of A Son of the Circus and A
Prayer for Owen Meany.
Like Garp, [THE HOTEL NEW HAMPSHIRE] is a startlingly original
family saga that combines macabre humor with Dickensian sentiment
and outrage at cruelty, dogmatism and injustice.

What we know today about many famous musicians, politicians, and
actresses is due to the famous work of photographer Harry Benson.
He captured vibrant and intimate photos of the most famous band
in history;The Beatles. His extensive portfolio grew to include
iconic photos of Muhammad Ali, Michael Jackson, and Dr. Martin
Luther King. His wide-ranging work has appeared in publications
including Life, Vanity Fair and The New Yorker. Benson, now 86,
is still taking photos and has no intentions of stopping.
