Training is never easy, especially if you have a full time job and you do what you can to make the most of it, sometimes being consistent can be a challenge and there are days where it's not in you. However; when you're able to and get things going, it makes a huge difference in how you feel and what you want to continue to do. That's what it's like for my wife Holly.
She's one of the hardest workers I know and does what she can even though she can be very persistent when she sets her mind to something. It's one of the things I love about her and how proud I am of her. In some time, she has lost around 60 lbs and has kept it off despite obstacles that come her way, she still fights with the heart of a lioness. I have taught her how to utilize a consistent training style that suits her and makes her want to continue her journey. She usually works a 3 day split of Upper Body one day, Core the next & Leg Work.
About half to 60% of her training is cardio, building her endurance using the treadmill, the eliptical and will go on runs for about an hour at times. Her core work consists of planks, twists, V-Ups and Diagonal Chops with a slam ball. Upper Body is mainly flys, curls, lateral raises (she calls them She Hulks), punching & Pull-Downs/Chin-Downs. Legs is usually running but she'll do some squatting, lunges and other things. Her rep range is around 10 reps at 5 sets per exercise and she'll hold a plank for as long as 2 minutes. Getting a blend of strength and cardio work.
She has stayed with that for quite some time and has worked for her. I give her tweaks every now and then on her form so she can feel the muscles more. She busts her ass to the point where she'll wake up sore and ask me to send in her clone to work LOL.
She has also been taking the Athena Formula for about a month or so and the changes in her energy levels seem like they were shot out of a cannon. She isn't as tired, doesn't drink as much caffeine as she normally does which at times consists of coffee, Spark and sometimes a red bull. Her intake is almost cut in half by taking 3 capsules a day before heading out to the other side of Spokane for the day.
Her training and her jacked up energy lately has been amazing and I'm incredibly proud of the progress she has made. It took her a LONG time to lose the weight and she still has a ways to go but I believe in her and what she is capable of. Strong, fierce, kind, compassionate and can be a bit of a hard ass but that's part of who she is and wouldn't change it. Athena has been her go to supplement and even after a few weeks, it shows some drastic improvements in her mood, her energy, her focus and has kept her strength in tact with great stride.
You have that power too ladies and you got what it takes to make improvements for your own health. Small aspects of progress always lead to the bigger picture, you may be different in life but there's always room to become a bad ass and do what works best for you. Get a hold of Athena Formula and see where you progress and train with a vengeance, go for the Subscriber Program so you can get them sent to you every month. You got this. Be amazingly awesome.
