What do you always come back to?

rhbrand · 01-22-13, 07:02 PM

I've done a lot of things in my fitness journey. And I've come to realize, not matter what, I always come back to two things.

The Firm, the old ones,not the new ones.
And heavy weight lifting.

Oh, I guess I can add walking to it too.

The Firm was the first home workouts I had that I loved and did, and well, they just work.

Heavy lifting, I started that back in 1988 when I went off to collage and took a health and fitness class. They had us lifting weights, and along with all the walking I did between classes, it had me drop inches like crazy! I loved it,

So no matter what I try, I always go back to those three things. I sometimes I wonder why I even move away from them.

TTapp Tempo Torso. This is my tried and true waist slimmer.
Don't laugh but I actually bought a corset-like thing that is so much better than Spanx. After a TTapp bootcamp early this year, I was able to put that thing on. I couldn't last December. lol.
And here's a photo. It is not for the faint of heart, lol.

ETA: I forgot kettebells & dancing & kickboxing & walking outdoors...

I always go back to Tracy Anderson for lower body, and Cathe, and running, for everything else. I should add that I go back to Cathe because she is one of the only instructors that never gets on my nerves. However, I've learned to adapt her workouts to meet my needs. I never lift as heavy as her and I modify some high impact moves. Regardless of that, she keeps me going!
