What the hell?! I just read that Daily Mail article! If i ran backwards on a treadmill not only would i fall off and damage myself but i’d probably get kicked out of the gym for contravening Health and Safety regulations! What on earth is it meant to prove? I mean, sure, its safer than walking down the street backward, but toning? Um…nope. Cant see it I’m afraid. Not to mention 3lb dumbbells. I mean, exactly that. They just shouldn’t be mentioned. My 5 year old could manage 3lb, easily. And 100 reps? Wouldn’t that basically just constitute another form of using muscular endurance as cardio to the detriment of bone and muscle mass that is so necessary in women, especially after 30?

Thanks for your article. My spouse and i have usually seen that most people are wanting to lose weight simply because they wish to appear slim along with attractive. Nevertheless, they do not constantly realize that there are many benefits for losing weight additionally. Doctors claim that overweight people are afflicted by a variety of illnesses that can be instantly attributed to their excess weight. The good thing is that people who sadly are overweight in addition to suffering from diverse diseases can reduce the severity of their illnesses by losing weight. It is easy to see a gradual but noted improvement in health whenever even a moderate amount of losing weight is achieved.

A perfect story Denise! I hope more women have your experience. Did you actively seek out your PT because of the way she trains people, or did you just happen upon her by chance?
