Hellos,
I was planning on starting body pump this week as it’s highly recommended for toning and builds up muscle without getting you ‘bulky’. I discussed with my pharmacist and having done LT herself she also swore by body pump, however she did say that as it essentially strengthens and builds up muscle, weight loss will slow down as you gain muscle mass – makes sense!
The thing is, my biggest motivation for staying in this diet is the drastic weight loss, and I’m worried if I see less pounds off each week I’ll loose focus and start cheating – despite the fact that my body will look toned and leaner!! Very silly way of thinking, I know!!
Anyway, my question is, is anyone else doing toning exercises? If so, have you seen a huge slow down in weight loss? I’ve done this diet before and ended up with some loose bits around the arms and thighs which took months of gyming to firm up, I’m trying to prevent that this time round.
