    Can I ask the OP-Did you take your book down to the gym for them to look at or did you just take it with you and start the exercises yoruself?

    I just ask because Im thinking of starting, Ive read the book and found a suitable gym only last night but wanted a session with the personal trainer there to show me how to use the equipment properly. Do you think it would be good to take this book in to show him and insist he does these with me or I get the feeling he will want to do his own exercises with me..?

    Also have you changed your diet drastically-ie eating more protein, less carbs etc etc? My problem areas are my legs, arms and tummy, I dont need to lose weight, I just want to tone up what I have....

    Thanks

    Emma.

    I didn't take the book with me, but I came across a wonderful spreadsheet online that you can fill in yourself. I bring that with me. The book shows photos of all the exercises, so you will know how to do them before you get there. I am honestly not sure what a personal trainer would do, sometimes I feel like they have their own agenda, but I know many people who have loved having one. I've always kind of just taught myself.

    As far as protein, yes I am eating a lot more of it. The book suggests that you try to get in your body weight in grams of protein. For example, if you weigh 150lb, you'd want to try to eat 150g of protein per day. He especially wants you to have a significant amount of protein within an hour of lifting. I don't obsess over carbs, but I do watch them and try to get them from "good" carbs (fruit, etc) as opposed to bread, pasta, etc. I have found replacements for things like pasta (spaghetti squash is one of my staples, as are the tofu shiritaki noodles). I have upped my calories to 1620 on non-lifting days, and 1920 on lifting days. I don't deprive myself of my red wine that I love so much, or the occasional treat. I definitely don't feel like I have to be as strict with the calorie counting since lifting heavier and seeing and feeling results - it feels rather freeing! :smile:

    OK here it is! The link is open to anyone, so feel free to share it. I found this online, but made a lot of modifications, and it is VERY easy to use....enjoy!

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmBawuhJvld5dFBNQnRfMUNtU3F4TXc4YmdpWWQyRnc

    *Make sure you do "print preview" before you print, to make sure that everything fits on the page...you *might* have to slide the cells closer together to get it all to fit on the page.

    Let me know if you have any trouble with it!

    Great job! I have heard more and more of the NROLFW. You can really tell a difference in your thighs, I can at least. :flowerforyou:
    Or you can just tell she's standing in a different position.

    I can definitely see a change in the abs though.

    Yes it's a different position...but my thighs are an inch smaller around.
