After 10 sessions

SO, I'm now at my 10 session progress update!

I'm still really enjoying my sessions with the personal trainer and am about to sign up for October. We're moving onto some muscle building sessions now as well as continuing with the fat burning - and I feel it's probably about the right time to do so.

I'm getting very good at push-ups - up to 3 sets of 14 (and I think I may go up to 16 next session, but we'll see!). I did tricep push-ups for the first time last session - and goodness me, they were hard. I've done them before in Body Combat - but clearly I wasn't doing them quite right. I guess that's the problem with group exercise classes verses having a personal trainer, the instructor really can't go around perfecting everybody's technique. Well, I managed three sets of four (!) which sounds desperately pitiful - but I know I haven't really worked my arm muscles for a long time. We'll see how quickly I get on with those!

Here's my progress image:



This week I really feel my core getting stronger and I think there's quite a good six-pack waiting to burst out as the extra fat starts melting away. I think the definition visible here is enhanced by there being a line created by the way I was sitting. Anyways, I think it's still impressive and it's certainly the most visible any six-pack has ever been - so I'm pleased. I also feel much stronger there, and I can't wait to see how it all progresses over the next few weeks.
