another week of workouts..

Okay, I'm not going to post them all.. but here's the skinny. 

(This working out to lose weight, or at least get in better shape and feel great thing, is working.) 

After approx 7 real hard core weeks of weights and at least 3/4 times a week cardio:

Hi Carleen,

Here are the results from your latest Fit Test:

BodyFat: 21.8% (down .5%) (not much but again feel great!)

Have lost only 2 pounds and some actual circumference, specifically in midsection - but gaining a lot more muscle and firming up, esp in arms.  Bra fat area as trainer Gene likes to call it.  ew. 

Abs - 24 (down 1)

Hip - 12 (d 2)

Thigh - 19

Side - 17 (d 3)

Scapula - 16 (d 2)

And now your continued challenge.  Print it out, take it with you and give it a shot.  Variety is great, easy to follow and makes the time go by fast while having some fun!

Keep it up Carleen. It's noticeable when you are on the air. And you're probably at the point where if you don't work out you miss it. You look GREAT!

Yes Carleen, are you training for something specific? If not may I talk you into doing a bike ride. Not the MS ride but the ACT6RIDE. It is four days and 350 miles in southern Wisconsin. It is for a great cause. The awareness of AIDS. I think you would have fun and it would be a great way to get in shape!!

Posted by: Karla Great job on your progress...keep it coming! BTW, Are you training for a specific event?

Don't worry about weight loss and inches Carleen. Use a mirror to look at yourself to see if you think you look better. Also, you are feeling better. Those two things are the most important. In time the weight and inches will come off. Keep up the workouts. Maybe just push yourself a little harder!
