My goal

To find out what my abs would look like if I could see them – and shorter term, to be able to do a pull up.

My training

I started back at the gym twice a week (I’ve been a sporadic gym goer for years but had given it up for a while). That went OK for a month or so then I joined the circuit class and before I knew it I was in the gym five days a week. Things started to change – clothes were more comfortable and people noticed the difference… But still no sign of any abs. So Kieran suggested I stepped things up and started his Learn to Be Lean Nutrition course. Wow, then things really started to happen.

My results

I started my quest to do a pull-up by using the bands – I couldn’t do many even with those but gradually I got stronger until one day I could just do it. Between my before and after photos I’ve lost 2 stone (mostly from my stomach area) and achieved 19% body fat – my lowest ever in the last 5 years. And most importantly I can see vague shadows of my abs appearing*.

Current update…

lyz-abs-b4-after

After three months of concerted effort I have reached <20% body fat and can now see my abs. Not only that but I’ve achieved personal bests at 140% body weight back squats and 170% deadlift. I’m ecstatic!*

My next challenge…

Never one to stand still (to my mind that’s going backwards) my next challenge is to get fit for this… walking the Gorge de Verdon in Provence next June. Yikes!
