Hello Les Mills Pumpers and Shredders!

I hope you had a wonderful week! I have enjoyed interacting with everyone about exercise this first week. Hopefully your are feeling stronger already, if you are new to Les Mills. If you are a veteran, hopefully you are making continuous improvements on your technique, and challenging yourself by upping your weights. You can buy additional weights at Wal-Mart that fit the bar (standard 1" diameter). I purchased a 5 and 2.5 set. One down, 11 to go! We can do this! Let's make some serious changes in our bodies!


Copy the link to the spreadsheet and post before Monday 5/28 (midnight). Feel free to post before Monday, if you weigh on the weekend. I like Monday weigh-ins because it "sort of" keeps me grounded on the weekend eating.

Hi everyone. I am excited about week two. My number one goal this week is to workout I have to modify the workout calander a little because Saturday workouts are not working out. I also want to drink 6 cups of water each day and cut down on carbs at least two days this week. I am happy to be with you all in this 2nd week. :happy:

My goal this week is to workout Tues- Saturday, rest day on Sunday. Since my first 5k is coming up in 3 weeks and I really need to train for it, I will run everyday (at least 3 miles). Every other day, I will do Pump & Burn. I want to burn at least 3500 calories this week. Summer is coming fast and I am no where near where I want to be. It's time to stop making excuses and go hard!!

I also have an eating goal- I will not eat any junk food. I am going to try to focus on healthy veggies, fruits and lean protein. I made an excellent healthy chicken tortilla soup (full of veggies) for the week, so I can't say I don't have any healthy options. I also don't have the excuse that I need to cook dinner instead of go workout!

Sounds great! You may have to share that healthy chicken tortilla soup! Good luck with training for the 5K! You have made great progress so far.

Hello! I read about cutting carbs for two consecutive days each week. The article says it helps with fat loss. I may try that too! Thanks for sharing!
