My Phit Champs This Week!
We got some successes to report this week. Woot!
Les has officially dropped her first 10.5 pounds with us! Straight from her journal...
"This morning, I got on the scale and was PLEASED to see a 3 pound loss. YAY! I had 2 ST workouts and 4 cardio workouts last week, and watched my portions like a hawk, and I saw a payoff! I got back on the scaled 3 more times as I got ready just to make sure that it still said that number. Well, I moved the scale around the floor of the bathroom and stepped on it again and again to make sure. Yes, I'm a freak. I can't help it. That's a number I have not seen in over 5 years. AND, I have officially lost 10.5 pounds since joining PNP. Yes, it's not that much, but you know, slow and steady wins the race."
I would say that 10.5 lbs is a lot and YOU ARE DOING US PROUD GIRL! It's hard to hang in there when things don't happen on YOUR time schedule. It's winners that keep their focus and do what they know is right even when the payoff comes in little increments. Congratulations!
Next, my girl Jane completed a sprint triathlon. She is currently training for a half-Ironman!
"I took 9th place overall woman (out of 232), 3rd in my age group and took 4 minutes off my previous best time at that race. WOOT!! And there was some definite wind involved, head wind both ways on the bike - so I was even more excited. I think having 10 fewer pounds off my body, not to mention good fuel, and stronger muscles, all helped out a ton! And God definitely gave some great strength as well - I can't overlook that major detail!"
Girls...if I missed anyone LET ME KNOW! I had a ton of emails to go through and grabbed these two to spotlight. Don't let me miss you!
This week I want to focus the blogs on cardio. In the forums we have challenges associated with fasted a.m. cardio, we're doing an eight week strength schedule that is designed to burn fat and save the muscle, and we are constantly trying new ways to amp up the calorie burn.
So, this week each blog will focus on a cardio routine or a way to get in more burn during your strength sessions. Watch for these routines anyone can use. Tomorrow we will talk about shaking up strength by doing circuits that sizzle. I will include a sample full body circuit you can do two to three times a week to build a sexy summer body.
