Brag board time
Got a body scan today. Wanted to see what the result of two months of "real life" had on my body.
Turns out the changes I have made are good ones
Weight was up half a kilo
But muscle mass up a kilo and a half
Dropped another kilo of fat, and my body fat percentage is now below 12%Added 1.5cm to my chest measurement, and took a centimetre off my abdomen
Fucking stoked.
Fuck you

well holy shit. F45 have just moved to a new phase, and with it a change in philosophy. While in the past each work out was a "whole body" type deal, with both upper and lower body components, this time they have moved to entire workouts around the upper or the lower body. much more targeted.
And after 2 legs days i am fucked. it hurts to get out of the chair
yesterday was a 12 station lower body resistance workout, lots of squats and lunges and weighted stop ups and shit (also deadlifts and abs)
Then today was an awesome 12 station cardio workout that was all fucking legs as well. Absolutely frikken cooked. Roll on beach muscles tomorrow
Gotta say, i thought F45 was all glitz no substance workouts for chicks, but its really bloody good. You can go as hard as you like, and the instructors are excellent at pushing you along. They've fucking worked me out, all they need to do is give me a target and i'll kill myself trying to make it. It's still mainly aimed at females i reckon, but the results i have seen, and continue to see, mean it's pretty decent for dudes as well.

What does the 45 stand for? Is it 45min Workouts or 45sec workouts?

45 minutes. most classes are 45 minutes long (saturdays are an hour)
timings depend on the class. sets vary from 20 seconds to 60 seconds
60 seconds of battle ropes fucking sucks
-
@mariner4life what is the cost of it?
Think they are about $50 a week here (and despite this, I know people that go to it, plus another gym - Mrs TR goes to her gym with a women that goes to F45 as well, plus a 3rd gym - lost like 60kg+)

yeah $50 sounds about right. i go 4-6 times a week so the per-workout cost is pretty good when you look at what's involved.

60 seconds of battle ropes fucking sucks
Battle ropes and sled are shocking. Look easy enough but suck the energy out of you.

Did my first sled 2 days ago, bloody hell.
I hadn't done a class in 5+ years (other than a cycle one), and my body is sore in all those places you never think to push when you do weights. Abductors, glutes, all the chick parts.
Can barely walk but going to try to run home tonight anyway. Will be taking my bus pass with me just in case...

And today thanks to the rotations we did a minute of sleds in to a minute of ropes.
Saturday classes are hard
Also awesome

That is farked. Feel drained just thinking about it.
Try sled, ropes then ball throws and catches against wall. That broke me.
