After a year of cardio-only workouts, my boyfriend at the time convinced me that lifting heavy weights wouldn't make me look like a man. Now I can't get enough of the weight room.
Why I Love It:
Working out really affects my attitude and moods throughout the day. I'm happier and more confident when I stay consistent with my workouts.
How I Stay Motivated:
Listening to great music on my I-Pod and reading motivational materials like Oxygen Magazine for women. I also work for a company in the fitness industry so I'm surrounded by health enthusiasts everyday!
BB Accomplishments:
Decreased my body fat by 4% in 6 weeks! The average is 3% for most people. I have become a motivation to all of my friends to eat healthier and exercise more.
Forum Signature:
"Remember that this is a lifestyle, Doing it correctly does not stop on the weekends, holidays, at night after a long day at work. You must constantly feed your body the right nutrients if you want to maintain your results and this lifestyle. You can have the perfect plan and all the right supplements, but in the end it all comes down to consistency."
Lower my body fat and maintain a significant amount of lean muscle
Goal (Long):
1. Reduce body fat
2. Eat clean consistently
3. Figure out what works for my body (diet/exercise)
4. Have patience and realize that it's not about 'instant gratification'
I just posted progress pics and I can't say that I've made much "progress." I thought I was doing great, but the camera doesn't lie. Today I did a full body circuit of 400's. This was 10 exercises of 1x40. Took me 25 min, 28 sec. Note: I did 25 minutes of HIT cardio before...
