What
was your training program during the Challenge?
For my aerobic workouts during the Challenge
I used mostly the Precor machine and I worked
my way up to burning 1000 calories per session
by the end of my Challenge.
For the Weight Training portion I called
and spoke to EAS' help line and was put in
touch with someone who worked with women. I
also spoke with several professionals who
had worked to train female athletes and competitors
in body building. There was a consistent
message from all sources about higher repetitions
for women to achieve certain results. After
my first month of the Challenge I chose
to do high repetition sets. For upper
body I did 20 rep sets… and for lower body
I did 25 rep sets. My workout during
the Challenge is below.
