Most of my clients are women over 40, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask!:) -------------- "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes."

I'm 5'4" 155 29% body fat, I'd like to be 23% and 135lbs I do workout 5 times a week. However, my diet needs adjusting. I have very little willpower. I'll keep trying. Not giving up. I've notice in the last 2 years my motabolism changed dramaticly. Good Luck, :love:IrmaLuz Luzx5@aol.com

I am tired of HEARING THAT 40 IS EQUIVALENT TO DEATH as I love my age, just wish my body would keep as young as the mind! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

A trainer pointed out that if I was feeling strong and getting results there was no need to stop or change at 6 weeks. By the same token, if I didn't like my workout or wasn't getting the desired results, I shouldn't feel chained to the 6 weeks. Now I work one/two body parts per day (for 4-5 days), get a much more intense workout and never do the same thing 2 weeks in a row. I do 30 minutes of cardio on my off days. This has worked really well for me!
