Children in Charge....Grilled Herb Coated Chicken Breast

Since I have two kids of my own bible study today was interesting and reminded me of weight training. Children and who is in charge? A child's job is to push the limits. They try to push against the walls to build muscle. If there is nothing to push on or when pushing is easy (we give into them or let them get their way) they won't build muscle.
Just like in exercise, I'm a big believer in using your own body weight when exercising, but weight training is so important to incorporate into your workouts. Ladies don't be afraid of heavy weights. I have been weight training for years and my body isn't in any way to muscular....
