This is amazing!!!! What are you doing to get those results so fast!!!!?

Thanks ladies! To the Southern Belle who asked how I got my results, I'll tell you what I've been doing, but there are many ways to get results, and I'm not pretending to be an expert.

Firstly, as to diet, mine is not perfect by any means, but I try for 50% carbs, 30% protein, and 20% fat (it's just MY preference). I get 125-150 gm of protein a day, and I eat 6-7 small meals (2 of those meals are protein shakes with fruit). I average about 1700-1900 calories a day.

For cardio, I just do the elliptical machine mostly. I do 45-60 minutes of elliptical every day, either by itself, or following my weight training sessions.

Weight training is 5x a week. I work my upper body at the gym, and I work my legs at home with a DVD, but since you're asking about my back, I'll share my upper body routine. For each bodypart, I choose 4-5 exercises, and do 4 sets of 10-15 reps each (usually working in supersets because I like to go fast). I rest very little, but I do try to lift heavy, as heavy as I can without cheating form. I never do the same workout twice, and my goal is to get SORE. My training split is like this:

Monday: Back/ calves, cardio
Tuesday: Chest/abs, cardio
Wed: Biceps, cardio
Thurs: Triceps/abs, cardio
Fri: Shoulders, cardio
Sat or Sunday: Abs and cardio

As I said I work legs at home while my son naps. I use a DVD called the Butt Bible, which is basically just strength training for legs using lots of squats, lunges, etc.

That's pretty much it. I work really hard at the gym (no talking, socializing, long rests), and I really try to focus my mind on what I'm doing (the mind-muscle connection). It feels great to see results, and I can't wait to see my muscles when I get a bit more of that fat off. I wish you all the best, and remember: WE ARE WOMEN, HEAR US ROAR!!! :flowerforyou:

BUMP FOR INSPIRATION!
