the difference may look minimal but its huge to me, because i had went up a few dress sizes and now im back to my original size, but noticing real muscle instead of flab



comparison pics below taken between Feb 2013 and April 2013 with me doing my Personal training routine 3 times a week and 2 circuit classes per week



most recent pics below took on 24/25th July 2013 after 3 weeks of solid heavy lifting with minimal cardio! with 5-6 sessions a week

Great work! I think that is more than minimal; I'd like to see where you are 6 months from now! :-)

September 2012 to now. Similar weight in both pictures, but the right side is my results of 1.5 months of heavy lifting so far.
A few improvements I'd say haha, but can't wait to see more!

PS. All you ladies looking fabulous! You have all motivated me to keep pushing through! Keep up the great work xo

Very inspirational!! Heavy lifting for ladies is a new concept to me and looking at the fantastic results I'm going to have a go!
How's best to start for a novice? Also what specific exercises did you use to acheive the wonderfully flat/toned tummies?
Awesome results ladies ))
