Just a couple days left and we are almost there with our "stretch goal." Final results are due to report on August 5th, so we will be doing our final re-assessment this Wednesday. So, again, not only will we be able to report our final tally of weight loss, but we will be able to report all of our final numbers, including inches lost, body fat percentage, heart rates, blood pressure, etc. The end of month two was the last time we did the complete assessment for all areas, so we are very excited to see the cumulative results and improvements.
As mentioned previously, this week brings a nice, and needed, break in Michael's workouts. We are still maintaining our workout schedule, as it is important to stay in the routine and rhythm of working out, but the volume and intensity will be lower for a couple of weeks. This means less overall sets, as well as selecting exercises and a format that will keep the intensity of the workout quite a bit lighter. These "transition," or "unloading" periods, while sometimes difficult to make ourselves do, are truly an important part of a well rounded fitness program. They give our bodies and minds an opportunity to regenerate and refresh. In fact, it's not uncommon to see noticeable strength and endurance improvements shortly after.
