muscle gainz!

I don't know why the fitness world writes 'gainz' or 'dem shoulders doe' etc.  But I like it!

My six week program ended with Pure Workout at the end of March.  I went back to the bod pod to measure my fat free muscle loss.  (This is what I was going for.  Most people in the challenge were either losing 20 lbs or losing 5% body fat.  They were willing to work with me and instead I was trying to gain 5 pounds of muscle mass.)

I am HAPPY TO REPORT that I gained 5.4 lbs of fat free mass!



I also gained 1.2 lbs of fat, which was kind of expected.  It's hard to gain muscle and not fat too.  My body fat% didn't change.

I am going to continue going to Pure Workout after school and adding in more HIIT cardio in the mornings and on the weekends.  I would like to shed some fat that is layering over my new muscle.  I am also starting T25 from Beachbody and starting a Focus T25 Challenge Group in the upcoming weeks. (more info on this later! but if you're interested now...email me at jumpintofit@gmail.com)




My favorite fat burning activities are sprints (either around the track tabata style) or up hills until I can't run anymore.  I've done the Highland High stairs twice which really burns my legs.  I'm always there with HS football players and it makes me push harder.
