Great to see you here Bonnie!! I overslept yesterday and didn't get to go to my workout - I was mad!! It's getting where I really look forward to going. Something I thought I would never say. Now that I've lost some weight, I'm more motivated to work harder to see what kind of result I can get. Slimming down the thighs, toning up the backside, working my arms - I actually have some muscles!!! Thanks for your help with some recipes along the way. It's great to have a place like this to go to for help and guidance. |

It is not about a number for me. I just want the tummy gone! & to be reasonably toned. BTW I got the results of my bloodwork from my annual physical & the numbers are good. Just a couple of things that are slightly above the normal range. One was sodium which is tough considering how healthy I have been eating but there are still some occasional treats I can cut out. Mamogram was good too. Now just to get the results of my heartview (just preventative given the 2 major things that sneaked up on my mother - they won't be sneaking up on me!)

Looks like everyone is planning on swim suits this summer lol. When I work abs I always do them at the end of my workouts, this way they have already been used, the ab workout finishes them off. Plank holds are excellent, a lot of people don't do them because they are not 'traditional" exercises. I use two ab routines, they go like this, performed in super sets. (1) 10-12 reps hanging leg raises (straight legged, bent knees are for girls, lol) 10-12 reps swiss ball crunches 10-12 reps bicycle crunches (2) 10-12 reps crunches 45 deg incline 10-12 reps (with weight) russian twists 1 min + plank holds Do these at the end of your workouts and you WILL feel them. |

That's great. There are faster ways to loose weight but this is the way to go. It allows you to live your life and it's more than just the weight loss, it's a healthier way of eating and the benefits are much greater than just the weight loss. |
