I have a few fitness goals I would like to achieve by the end of the year.
- Do a proper handstand.
- Increase my flexibility.
- Transform my body into a fat burning machine.
The handstand, while achievable, is a challenge, but one I am looking forward to practicing on a regular basis. On Instagram, there are numerous yoga challenges I have been participating in and each one of them offers up a different challenge daily. Some poses are easier than others and some I can not even attempt. If you are looking to start or get your yoga practice in order, you should definitely check out 30 Days of Yoga. It is one of the best things I have done for myself.
After doing my Revolt workouts, it is easier to stretch and practice the yoga poses. My body is already warm and it makes the stretches a lot easier. The handstands, on the other hand, offer one heck of a challenge for me. I remember doing handstands, cartwheels and all kinds of acrobatic moves when I was a wee girl. Now that I am older, I wonder how in the heck I did a lot of those things. I miss that flexibility big time now.
Now, for the update on the Revolt fitness plan, I am not losing pounds the way I thought I would, but I am losing fat and gaining muscle. The scale simply is not a reliable instrument for me when it comes to weight loss. Calipers and a plain measuring tape are my go to tools for taking measurements for body fat calculations.
I read something recently about it taking four weeks for you to notice changes, eight weeks for your family to notice changes and twelve weeks for everyone else to notice your weight changes. I’d say this is pretty darn accurate. Here’s to continued progress and success.
