NotTooLate’s Boring Ramblings ;)

I’m nearing the end of my week as the *OV40 Transformation of the Week* here on BB.com. I am honoured that I was chosen as the selection of the week and even more honoured that I was the first woman in the new Over 40 Transformation category

I sincerely hope, that by telling my story, more women near my age group will be motivated to lose fat and gain muscle. Anyone can do this. Sometimes obstacles seem insurmountable but I am here to tell you that almost any obstacle can be overcome with some determination, a personalized plan and consistency. Eating clean, incorporating cardio and implementing a weight training program into your life offer the best results.

Start slowly and do your research. There are many articles here on BB.com to utilize and there are experienced members on the BB.com forums to offer suggestions if you need more help.
I look forward each day to challenging myself to improve on my personal best. I hope to one day be chosen as a Bodybuilding.com *Amateur Bodybuilder of the Week*! Watch for me!

Today is the day, it’s never too late.

I went to my first ever kickboxing class tonight with my 21 yr old son.
It was 1 1/2 hours of a deadly cardio routine including kicking, punching, running, floor exercises like pushups, crouching down and kicking legs out (like those Russian dancers), flinging your legs around while your crouched down, and a lot more intense exercises all in a fast paced nonstop workout.

I did really well. I couldn’t stand on my hands but neither could anyone else except for one of my son’s friends who used to be in an acrobatic school. He walked across the room like that :/

The instructor commented that I was in good shape and didn’t need his supplimentary class that he recommends to most people. He teaches them to eat clean and get fitter. I told him I eat clean and he wasn’t surprised

A girl in the class, the only other female, told me at the end of the class that when she came in she was afraid he was going to pair her with me and she was worried because she saw my muscles right off and thought “Oh god she’s strong, she’s going to kick my butt” LOL I took that as an excellent compliment

My son said I didn’t embarrass him much. I said how did I embarrass you at all. He said because your old LOL

It was totally fun and I wish I could go often but I can’t afford it. I will go once or twice a month if I can.

My thighs, on the top, are aching right now from the Russian dancer thingies that they had us doing. Oh well, I’m used to pain. It’ll probably hurt more tomorrow.
