Comment on Super Shred Down!! by Natalie

So… I’m on Day 4 of week 3 and I feel great! I am noticing now that my muscles are staying sore for a longer period of time. Coming up in week 4, I’m going to increase my protein by a few grams per meal to help my muscles heal quicker.
I’m really looking forward to my cheat day on Saturday! I want it all… Chocolate cake, pizza, fried fish and frozen yogurt! I know though, that when Saturday comes, all of my cravings will vanish. I usually just end up eating a couple small things so I don’t get too bloated and uncomfortable the next day!

Day 4, Week 2 of the diet!
I’m noticing definition all over! I can see my oblique muscle starting to show, my shoulders look nice and round, my quads have a nice sweep but most importantly, I feel good!! There is a big misconception with dieting that it should make you miserable, tired and weak. If you diet properly, you should feel energized, strong and ready to conquer! This is how I’m feeling, ready to take on the world . I hope everyone is enjoying the diet so far. I will be posting “before and after” photos once I have accomplished my goal for this diet. Please stay tuned, ask questions and post your results here

Well, today is day 3 of the diet! I’m feeling pretty good! I had a great morning cardio workout at 5am and a nice cardio session on my lunch break today!
All it takes is a short 20 minute workout to get those endorphins going to get you through the rest of the day!
I’m looking forward to a nice peaceful night hanging out with my dogs and my boyfriend on the couch tonight!
Remember- Take time for your mind, a helathy mind= a healthy body!

Hello Natalie! I would like to tone up my stomach area what type of workouts do you suggest and how often? I know eating is probably the most important. But, I’m not 100% sure what I should and shouldnt eat in order to achieve my goal. Thanks alot.

Hey everyone! Today is day two of the diet and I am feeling good! I’m a little disappointed that I had to skip my morning cardio today though. I am extremely sore in the lower half of my body from doing several days of tough interval cardio sessions.
I am however, looking forward to training my upper body with weights on my lunch break today. Also, after work, I will be taking a paddle board yoga class! I can’t wait!
I can’t wait for you all to start the diet so we can discuss!

” ..I hadn’t made the commitment to myself..” I definitely struggle with this, too! One good tip a friend of mine had is this: When setting a goal for yourself, literally write it out on a piece of paper, sign and date it. It’s like you’re making a contract with yourself, and just viewing it can help you stay motivated to fulfill the goal!

Thanks for the tip/encouragement, Natalie. For me, I’ve noticed that if I can ‘follow-through’ during the middle stages of my bike ride, it’s much more rewarding physically and emotionally after the ride. It’s such a mental push for me. My legs and head are saying “NO!”, but my will, heart and desire push me through.

I had been working out on my own for many years with little results. Natalie showed me workouts that were new for me. After several weeks I started to add bulk. She is more then able to answer any of my questions regarding nutrition, weight training and cardio training.

Thank you Natalie, for the motivation and teaching me the right way to workout and achieve my goals.

When I started working out with Natalie I could barely touch my toes, I certainly couldn’t get off the floor without the help of my arms. I am overweight and hadn’t worked out in years – I searched for a personal trainer online and I found Natalie. After a consultation, we began our sessions. With Natalie’s support and encouragement my life has changed. I am eating healthier, feeling better and no longer need my arms to stand from a seated position on the floor. I have lost almost 15 pounds and am down down 2 sizes. I really enjoy my time with Natalie, she’s not just a great trainer, she’s got a good heart and truly cares about client results. I have worked with trainers before who just want their pay check; Natalie is passionate about helping others. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about health and anatomy….you can’t go wrong with a “Natalie Investment” as we say in my household. Invest in your health and gain a friend. – Kat K. 6/14/11
