Hey, Whatz up?!! I am actually writing to ask a GREAT BIG favor from ya. I have entered my B4 and after pics into a transformation contest,and to win I need people to vote. The address to go to is http://www.tightcurves.net/tea m-challengers.aspx . I am the 2nd down on the left. It would really mean a lot if you would help. Thank you soooo much in advance, and good luck in any endeavors you may face. Just let me know if there is anything that I can help YOU with!!
Thanks AshK
Some people work them everyday..I think 2x a week is good personally. Especially if you are doing full body workouts on the other days. You use your abs to stabilize you and they get worked too.
Research says here is no need to. I, personally like to get rid of everything (even my multi) for a week every 3 months. It helps to cleanse...like pushing a re-start button. I've added a b complex...love it!!!!!! I am a firm believer!!! It helps regulate insulin among a ton of other great benefits.
Glad to hear it's warming up on the east coast. Will definitely make things more pleasant for sure. Hope you're well, and thanks so much for dropping by. :)
haha i work in the wonder bread bakery,and there is every sort of bread,pie,cakes donut,i know oh i know the suffering:)been there 9 yrs and still will sneak a apple pie,then suffer next day at gym:/ we will work together on this k,huggs
I'd have to agree with you there! Even better is getting all those great clothes on sale lol, Victoria's Secret has awesome sales right now! And the warm weather can't get here fast enough, it is a wind chill of -13 right now here and 30 mile an hour winds this morning on my drive to work. And that was after I pryed open my frozen garage door! I can't say i blame people for living in warm climates all year round!
Sounds like an amazing workout! I don't think my joints could take it these days! My legs are coming along as I have changed my program to include legs more often and I'm now building up the weight again. I also do deep lunges and squats and my definition is getting better.
