ChaLean Extreme results after the Burn and Push months

I’ve talked often here about better nutrition, especially using Shakeology (Shakeology review HERE).  But I haven’t talked as much about exercise, even though it’s one of the best ways to improve your health and is vital for obtaining and maintaining health and wellness.  I’m not the type of person that can get up the motivation to leave my house and go to an actual gym, so I’m a collector of home exercise videos. ChaLean Extreme is one of the best ones I’ve ever tried (Check out a preview of the workout here).  I’m currently finishing the second month of the program (it can run 3-4 months depending on the track you elect) and the results are visible already.  I know it’s all well and good to talk about getting healthy, but people don’t believe you until they can SEE proof.  So to those of you that don’t know me in person or don’t see me all the time to watch my transformation, here is some actual visual proof of the work I’ve put in and the results it has afforded me.

I must add that when I looked at these pictures yesterday, I was still not happy with what I saw.  But then…. I put them next to the pictures from two months ago.  And I was amazed at what I saw.  I know that my clothes are all looser and I had to buy smaller pants.  But it wasn’t until I put these pictures side by side that I realized what a difference I’d made in just 8 weeks.  Any of you thinking about starting a fitness program, PLEASE take before photos.  You may not want to look at them now, but imagine how great it will be to put them up next to your after photos, or even in this case, your “in progress” photos.  And with that, here are the photos.

For those of you curious about the statistics over the 8 weeks… this represents a loss of only 6.2 pounds because of the amount of muscle I put on lifting heavy weights.  Also, an inch and a half off of both my hips and my waist, half an inch off of each thigh, and a drop of 2.3 in my body fat percentage.  But none of those numbers truly express the difference in how my clothes fit me now!  That area between where you measure your hips and your waist?  That little pooch?  MUCH smaller now!  The area above my waist, where I had a nice layer of fat covering all the way around?  That’s much smaller, too!

So was it worth all of the work I’ve put in the last 8 weeks?  HELL YES!  And not just because I LOOK better but because I feel better and feel better about myself (even if at first I was still cringing at these photos).  And all of this muscle I’ve built?  It’s gonna burn TONS of calories, even while I’m asleep, which will help keep me healthy and help me lose even more weight. 

So what are YOU waiting for?  Are you ready to make a change in your life and start a program?  I want to pay this feeling of health and happiness forward to others by mentoring you through this.  I’m setting up small workout accountability groups for people that want to workout and get healthy and get RESULTS!  If you feel like joining me, please drop me a message here.  The current group I’ve started is TurboJam (http://tj.vid.jesilynkelts.com for a preview), but I’ll do other programs as well in the future so be sure to let me know if you want into one of the groups.   

Your future is WAITING!
