My surprising Fe Fit Challenge results

[aquakat]

Just finished up the 28-day, 6-days a week, 30-minutes per day Fe Fit Shape Up for Summer Challenge.

I'm really surprised by my results.

Before After

Weight
141 135.5

Waist
30.5 28

Hips
37.5 36

Thighs
22 21

I'm 49, peri-menopausal (I must be, right, I'm 49?) and this is the best my abs have looked in years. And what's really surprising is that I didn't clean up my diet at all. I still had wine with dinner every night, chocolate every day, and plenty of cheese. I also went on a beach trip with my sisters and nieces that involved lots of beer and chips on the beach. (I did take the Fe Fit workouts with me.)

I've been exercising consistently for decades, and I consider myself solidly, happily intermediate. I mostly do Jessica Smith, the Firm, and Zumba.

I'm a little baffled that I got such great results from these short workouts, but I'll take them! In addition to the pounds and inches lost, I can tell I'm a lot stronger -- I'm holding planks much longer and doing lots more push-ups on my toes. My shoulders, especially my rear delts, got so much stronger -- my posture is definitely better. I mostly used two-pound weights, so maybe it was all the bodyweight exercises?

I definitely recommend the Fe Fit set!

Congrats Alison!! Really great results. I have the set and haven't used it yet but plan to get to it sooner rather than later hopefully. I love reading posts like yours. Thanks for sharing!

So glad you saw great results, I guess I need to give Fe Fit another try. I bought it when they had they great sale and have just not clicked with it, maybe I will get it out and try it again

You are living my ideal life.

Anyway, congrats on the results!

What wonderful results! Congrats!

I'm curious...you said you were solidly intermediate. Before you did this rotation were you working out consistently 6 days a week?

Thanks so much for sharing....

Wow - sounds like a magic program!! Yes, I also want to know if you were working out consistently before. Sometimes, for me, doing a written rotation "works" because it makes me more consistent ... not that there's anything wrong with that!! Congratulations on your results!

Hmmm, in my mind I was working out very consistently 5-6 days a week, but looking back on my exercise logs, I was actually working out 4 days a week previously. Typically longer than 30 minutes, but fewer days.

Thanks Alison! Again...awesome job!

You've motivated me to do the Summer Challenge starting on Monday!

That is great
I sent in my before pictures, but sadly no results since I missed to many workouts.
I think I shall attempt it again.
I love the workouts.
