Curvy Expose' ~ Progress & Photo Journal

[Tatyana]

I get really bored on the same machine and after 25 minuets I jumped off the first one and onto the bike then went back for weights at 9:30, that's when I got roped into the weights class. My heart rate was up then too so it was a lot of cardio. Half of it was by accident, lol.

Is that too much working out you think?

While a lot of the research on cardio is often a bit confusing (slow or HIIT for fat burning), best heart rate etc, these are a few things I think are good general rules of thumbs

- no more than 45 - 60 min in a session (unless of course you are out for a long walk) as it can suppress immune system function

- the body adapts quite quickly to whatever you throw at it, so it is a good idea to change from walking to cycling, different intensities etc

- best times are first thing in morning before eating or after training

- there also seems to be more fat burning when your heart rate goes up and down, so things like doing 20 min, then doing some weights or stretching then doing another 20 min seems to work really well

- also I think the best thing is to incorporate walking into your lifestyle.

After visiting the US, I do realise this is quite difficult in some circumstances, and the walks are not always that pretty, but I do think things like walking the children to school is perfect, and good for the young ones

I changed photo servers. Maybe they won't delete these.

Keep in mind that the last set of pics are befores of me NOW as I am currently working with OMEGA to take things to the next level!

I'll post up new progress pics probably June 1st!

Thanks for letting me know my pics were down. I don't know why they delete them. I mean, I know fatty pics are not awesome but they aren't porn either, lol!

OMGOSH!!! LOOK at those huge @ss pictures!!! Wow, if this isn't motivation to keep going I don't know what is.

Let me just say that I am sticking to the Omega project. It is DO OR DIE at this point in my journey.

I just look at those pics and feel a very strong motivation. That's all people. Wow, I'm a normal chick but you won't recognize me soon

Wow. I'm stunned at your transformation. You look like an ad for subway
It helps a lot that you're beautiful, loving, caring, motivated and inspirational.

WOW! I have to say congrats so far! I find alot of motivation in seeing your progress. I was wondering if everyone on these boards were competitors, etc or if there were any non-competitors just looking to get in better shape and take it to the next level.

I am very impressed. I need to lose about 10-15 lbs(this is a constant debate between me and my trainer--I say 15, she says 10). Anyway, great to see someone else with the same mindset as me making great progress!
