You want to practice your stances months and weeks

that really work great for you and others that don,t.
Posing is open to interpretation. Make the best of it.

Think of your training routine as a
constantly evolving thing that is open
to change at every workout. You must
increase the intensity and duration
of your workouts to make progress.
Over time the central idea of training
is to (slowly) increase the overall
resistance, so that your body is
forced to respond and become firmer,
thinner, and stronger in response to
the increased intensitv.

DON'T LOSM FAITH.


Expect to fail several times
I:efore you finally fi.nd the way
to do almost anything valuahle
in this life. This includes riding
the horse of fat loss. When you
filll off dust yourself off and get
back on the horse. None of us
are perfect. Seldom do we get it
right the iirst time. My advice is,
no rnatter what-*don't give up 0n
yourself, The real g:al of being
lean and healthy is so we can live
a productive life ancl care for the
people we love. Good luck.
