Week 2 of the LiveFit 12 Week challenge. I’m already feeling stronger and more toned. In fact, I’ve even had a few people tell me how “buff” I’m looking. 🙂
My “complaint” this week is that there really isn’t enough abdominal work so I’ve been adding a few moves during my other strength training sessions. I’m hoping the abdominal work picks up in Phase 2. I’m used to making my abdominals more of a focus point throughout the week, so 1 day really just seems like nothing.
But despite that, I am really enjoying the program and looking forward to the next few weeks to really see my progress. Obviously, if I was choosing to follow the program to a T (meal plan + strength + supplements), I’d probably see more improvement and change, but I’m enjoying the program the way that I’m doing it.
**Update: I decided to end my Friday night with a 20 minute YogaDownload podcast. It’s enough to make my body shake in some moments, but not so much that I still feel like I’m slowing myself down for the night. I sure do love those podcasts.

My motivation for strength training is practically zero while anything cardiovascular gets me really excited. I usually have to seriously push myself to do anything that involves weights!
I definitely go in spurts of loving cardio vs strength training, but I really fell in love with strength training when I realized just HOW strong it made me feel, especially compared to when I couldn’t do it. Besides, we need both to really see results… 😉
