Mixing Up Week 6

Week 6 has been a wacky one. To make sure we are not getting too set into our routines with the Better U Challenge, our workouts were changed up this week & we also took mid-way assessments.

My assessment took place Thursday and I was extremely excited with the results. The majority of my tests and measurements improved. Since this is a heart healthy makeover, I'm glad to report that my resting heart rate improved from 80 to 72 while my beats per minute decreased from 150 to 114 after the 3-minute step test. Weight was officially down 6 lbs. on Thursday; however, it was down 10 lbs. today. Even more exciting, my body fat percentage was down 10.4 percent, lean weight has increased 14 percent and fat weight has lowered 28 percent. My waistline was down almost 2 inches. Amazing results and an amazing blessing! So with these results, I am looking forward to the final assessment.

Workouts this week were switched up. As previously stated, Monday was my full body workout at Fitness Together, then we were supposed to do cardio, upper and lower body workouts on our own. I did cardio on Wednesday, Friday and today. The lower body workout was Friday and upper body was today. I know the switch up was good because I was sore sooner and possibly sweat more.

Although I wasn't able to wrap everything until today I'm very pleased since I had such a busy week outside of the Better U Challenge. Week 7 will also be a change as we will not have a workout with FT until Saturday and that will be a group training/workout session. Looking forward to seeing what's in store and how I am able to begin managing the workouts and routines on my own. I know it will be very beneficial to me keeping up the pace after the program ends.

Thank you all for your encouragement, prayer and support. You're very much appreciated!

Many Blessings,
