When I Started:
May, 2005
How I Started:
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! And I have an awesome trainer that keeps me in line.
BB Accomplishments:
Accomplishment for 2008: standing squats ON the stability ball!
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 and family 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."
