6 week Challenge - Week 3 Summary - And the challenge just got bigger!

So another week has gone by, another week for me to grow my workout strategy and to really get stuck into something solid. I know the title of this blog is 'Transforming Janice... The Tracy Anderson Way' but as you may have noiced I am slowly digressing from purely Tracy's Method to involving myself in more weights-based training and less of the lovely little fairy Princess' method. This is not to say I'm falling out with it cos I'm not, every time I do it I love her routines, I love the way she giggles through the cardio and has a no-messin' face through themucular structure work, it tells me when to enjoy it and when to knuckle down to business. So that still stays, just not quite in the quantities it was around before.

So as the title today says, this 'challenge' just got bigger. I was originally aiming for the end of November to see what I could do for myself, but now I've joined forces with over 375 other women in a 6 week challenge starting today - it's called Nancy Reinhardt's Get Fit Challenge and if you're interested you can join in yourself via Nancy's Facebok page. Click the picture, add her as a friend then ask to join the challenge group.

So anyway, last week I decided (with the wisdom and evidence that Nancy presented me with) that lifting weights together with eating clean was the right way forward. So that is what I've been doing for about 5 days now. I've done weights at home mostly but also went to the gym once - but I realised that they've only probably got one or two weights machines that I can't replicate at home, so it's probably not worth he £5 they want per visit.

When I did my arms/shoulders weights last week I could see the difference in the miror so I took a snap via my iPad and this was the result (below). I like the shape of the deltoid and the bicep, so hoping that this will develop further if I continue. Most of this shape did come from my Tracy Anderson workout so I have her to thank for the most part of it. Cheers Trace. My triceps were still sore 2 days later so I know I did some good work in this session.

So that's the plan then, continue the weights, eat REALLY clean, follow Nancy's advice and take any tips and advice I can about getting the most out of my workouts.

Janice.
