In two weeks I begin my Fall Shape Up Program. Couldn't be looking more forward to it. I have been working out on my own over the summer, but just hit the wall. My goal has been to add muscle and lose some belly fat. The muscle was coming along, but in the last two weeks I have actually lost some strength and weight (about 7 pounds), which is a bit discouraging, because weight loss is not a goal of mine.
I am hoping I will be able to learn some ways to avoid these types of set backs and also to see additional progress once the Shape Up begins. I am skeptical, but definitely worth the chance to see what happens.
I am also a little apprehensive about the cardio portion of the shape up and in particular the initial testing. Usually this is a strength of mine, but I have sustained an hand injury which has forced me to not play any basketball for the last three weeks. Basketball has been my cardio for years, I have played multiple times a week. It occurred to me that I have not substituted any activity for basketball since I have been hurt. So anything involving running should be difficult.
I am most interested to see the ways a trainer will go about getting me to my goals, compared to the route I have taken on my own. I'm excited.
