A while ago, I decided to do a six week DB rotation to see what results I'd achieve. On the plus side, I got way stronger both cardiovascularly and strength-wise. But, I only lost around 2 lbs and either stayed the same size or gained size in all body parts, except thighs where I lost 1/2 inch. Also, when I wore a pair of slacks to a meeting that I hadn't worn since prior to the rotation, they were tighter!! I was horrified.
Last week, I went back to my TA rotation of just 3 - 4 times per week with barre on other days. I lost 4 pounds and those slacks that were tight were loose again. Also, a pair of jeans that I had I was able to pull them off/on while zipped and buttoned!
So, I think I'm finding that no matter how bored I get with TA, I need to continue with her. Now, I must admit, I did a lot of Body by Simone cardio which I love! Plus, it adds a little variety. But, I can't understand how DB bulked me up and am curious if anyone else has experienced this. Either way, I've come to realize that TA works! Period. Like her or not, she's figured out how to make sure her method is effective. So, I'm in it for the long haul.
