Since I hadn't been on any cardio machine in over a year, it's not so bad for now.

Are you doing cardio everyday? Cardio on Arc on off lifting days and conditioning on lifting days? I am taking notes.

[illiniStrive]

strong back!

btw, what do you plan on doing with your tattoos? cover them up, or does it not really matter?

[KelseaMarie]

I had the corset one airbrushed for my wedding, I think i am going to have my friend who did it airbrush all my tats and then slather myself in dream tan.

Cardio

Arc Trainer- 29:33-400cal

[fltallpaul]

Excited to see what prep reveals...structure is not going to be a concern! Great stuff.

[Brandon0212]

Congrats that's awesome!

I wish more girls realized that it is actually really beneficial to lift.

[The Solution]

The Norton's will get you in check for posing, Strong base and i look forward to the transformation

[jpfaherty]

Dream Tan will destroy those tats.

I have tats on inner/outer arms, lower back, and stomach and you can't even tell. (see avatar) - Don't sweat the small stuff! It's 2013

[megdaig]

Yeah, a good spray tan will do wonders for tattoo coverage, I wouldnt sweat it. I would actually be leery of using any base coverup as it could react with the artificial tanners, you may want to ask around about what is the best method if you have not already, I am clueless when it comes to tattoo coverage and fake tanning but all I know is green skin under harsh stage lighting is sucky


And as for your posing...looks really good for not having any practice or much tutelage, especially the side model pose, I look like a total goof on those and you make it look natural. You will do well.

Thanks buddy, I am pretty excited to see what I look like 20lbs lighter!

Congrats that's awesome!

I am trying to teach them! Me and a few other girls actually started a group called "Beautiful Beasts" just trying to spread the message that lifting makes you beautiful!

Thank you so much! I plan on getting in as much posing practice as I can because I know how important it is!

Mirin' bicep vain in side relaxed.

Speaking of tats, I have a few. DT worked well to cover them. For my 2nd show I did a pro tan base and then finished with DT#2. I could barely see them at all.

Thanks I will have to get more info on tanners.

I have a constant bicep vein, I like it. Should be interesting to see my arms as I drop weight!
