Nicely done!
A question to the rest of you, do any of you want to GAIN inches anywhere? Where do you want to lose inches?
I'm hoping to gain in my arms and to primarily lose in my legs and then my stomach.
If you want to gain inches on your arms, Insanity probably isn't the right program for you. You're going to want to start doing exercises with heavy weights. Jamie Eason has an awesome program I used for a bit and built up muscle. Check out Phase 1 of her program here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-eason-livefit-trainer.html
Thanks for the link! That's a program I've been wanting to look into just to know what it is.so,you saved me work.Those are my eventual goals.However, I'm more more of a believer in the rep effect as opposed to heavy lifting. I definitely agree that you have to do some form of weight or resistance to gain inches.
At this stage, I'm taking the next year to do a lot of different programs and to see different things.It's one of the reasons why I'm not freaking out when my measurements or weight alters a bit because I'm experimenting with the different programs until I'm educated enough to help others and myself.I'm also starting to read different books based on different workout out systems and diets.I'll be updating what I learned on my MFP feed.
It dos depend on how much muscle you want to gain, because I have seen other women record about an inch of gain on their arms... so, it really depends on how much you want.
Thanks for the link and it's nice to know someone who has experience with it!0 -
