Weight Training Challenge - August
Mon, 08/02/2010 - 8:07am
If you want to lose fat or change your body, one of the most important things you can do is lift weights. Diet and cardio are equally important, but when it comes to changing how your body looks, weight training wins hands down. If you've hesitated to start a strength training program, it may motivate you to know that lifting weights can:
Help raise your metabolism. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so the more muscle you have, the more calories you'll burn all day long.
Strengthen bones, especially important for women.
Make you stronger and increase muscular endurance.
Help you avoid injuries.
Increase your confidence and self-esteem.
Improve coordination and balance.

I had a goal set but I neglected to get one of my workouts done so I am already behind. The chances of me getting to my goal this month are slim since I was not thinking about going out of town at the end of the month. I will continue to work on getting my Bowflex done three times a week and I will see just how close I can get to it!

I am really happy with the muscle that I am building throughout my entire body. I am still losing inches in every area, but I decided I wanted to add an additional exercise to my Bowflex workout. Since my inner thighs could use a little more work, I added Standing Hip Adduction to my routine yesterday.

About me
I'm Teri. I am 52 years old, and I've been overweight most of my adult life. My diet and exercise program have me feeling better than I have ever felt before. I have lost close to 100 pounds since I began the Carbohydrate Addict's Lifespan Program in 2008, without starving or depriving myself in any way.
I am getting myself into better shape and my goal of becoming fit and healthy is getting closer every day. This will be my lifelong way of eating because I am happy to say that it comes natural to me!
Here's a link to my Progress Photos.

August goal: 51 miles!
1 out of 13 completed!
I have not been using my Bowflex as often as I should have the last couple of months so I decided to set a goal for the month of August. I was supposed to get my workout done on Tuesday but I put it off until Wednesday knowing full well that I have two more to get done this week!
