Well, no weight change, no measurement change, is one full month since I switched programs, I see alot of change in the mirror as in definition of muscle & feel stronger.I know fat has changed, cos those " love handles " used to jiggle when I walked dont feel that happenin now & seems Ive gained control of those bottom abs ?..Can feel them & tighten them while walking or on elliptical trainer. button looks as though has changed again, though the FAT around it, is annoying ! I will never stop training, but some fat leaving would be nice.Though has only been a week or so since I started eliminating most fruit & breads etc, from diet.I added those modified pullups or whatever they r, cos GOD & gym members as witness I WILL pull myself..someday...soon, I tried today, did manage to flex back & move about an inch, lol.I showed another woman at the gym the modified one to, cos she is also trying to achieve that goal.Anyway ppl have great day !

Xray? Are you ok?

I had the right shoulder xray done to make sure is not a bone spur or such

cos GOD & gym members as witness I WILL pull myself..someday...soon

LOL! hang in there Bonnie! You shall overcome and conquer the dreaded pull up!

[ldematto]

Does your gym have the pull up/dip apparatus that gives you assistance? Thats the only way I've been able to do them - no Ho title for me! But I'm getting better and with palms facing each other I should be able to use less assistance.

You're using some pretty heavy weights for your lat pull downs (do I remember 80-85 lbs?) - you should be able to do some pull ups with assistance for sure! I started with the max assistance and will be working to wean myself of the machine totally at some point.

I checked out the waddle - not for me

HIIT elliptical

First time in life, Ive worked out 6 days in a row, though starting to feel quite normal, I even set alarm for 6 am, each day.Duno to do HIIT or SS on day six, whichever one burns fat more ?...nop is not help on pullups in gym, tho I'll never relent once I've set mind to something Have good weekend everyone !

[Bonnie]

I checked out the waddle - not for me

Whats a waddle, besides somethin a duck does ~

[ldematto]

Waddle? Must've been thread or Lynne's - either way something only a duck should do Our threads seem to be one big one

Hmmmm - looking at your profile pics and not seeing any fat...seems to me you are in the toning strength building mode

[fitoverforty]

Here's one:
The Waddle ( sister is obsessed with this, she found it a few days ago):
Go into a squat position. Step forward ~5in with your right foot. Follow with your left. Then Step backwards with your right foot, follow with your left. This is 1 rep.

10-12

I do this around dad's living room. I hold arms out and pinch hands like claws so i sort of look like a crab. (Try them sideways too! Fun!) It drives stepmom up the wall. Ahah.

Good job Bonnie on the 6 days of working out....I gotta step up game, if I want to keep up with you!

[swanso5]

why have you eliminated fruit?

[Bonnie]

I still eat 2 servings of fruit per day, one in morn one in mid afternoon

[Bonnie]

Hmmmm - looking at your profile pics and not seeing any fat...seems to me you are in the toning strength building mode

Ooo so nice, thanks Though If i showed below that bikini line Id have to KILL u ...last check Im sittin between 20-25% body fat, hard to know unless is check professionally, just measuring the waist now, instead.Yeah that waddle thing started elsewhere, found it later on If I'm not mistaken, I seen boss man type about bunny hops to, frogs, ducks & bunnies ~

[Bonnie]

So today is day off !! Haha spent it buying food for next week I see everyhthing has changed...

[fitoverforty]

You need a day off to rest your muscles. Hope you had a restful day I had to really force myself to do workout today Just couldn't get into it....but glad I did. Ever have one of those days? The motivation is hard to come by, but once you get going it is all good.

How's the shoulder doing? Hope you have great week!

Well today went well, had a twinge of pain in shoulder during press so checked form, making sure I didnt bring arms down to far & the pain went away.Will leave the one day of squats in, the rest will turn into lunges ( walking w oblique twist & stationary ones ) for this month.Can prob knock out the single obliques that way & kill two birds with one stone ;)Will keep doing those horizontal pull ups till can do vertical ones.One thing to be said for these full body workouts, while doing the overhead presses today, I noticed the triceps in the mirror, where before was only fat & no definition, YAY & I dont do more than ONE tricep specific exercise , a week..Have a great day everyone !!

[swanso5]

if you're not using full range of motion on the shoulder presses then what's the use in doing them?
