But, these are results that I don’t have to stand on a scale to see. I also took a couple of days off for surfing. In orange you can see where I added in some running for cardio health, and added in some climbing specific exercises like pull ups and hangboarding. Here is proof of my beginner success using the Thinner Leaner Stronger Program!Ĥ weeks! Lifting 5 days a week! 20 sessions! That is more lifting sessions in 1 month than in all of 2019. I now have the tools and motivation to build and maintain muscle even as my own biology starts to work against me. I believe I can lift for the rest of my life on this program. WEAK! But, this program provided me with so much direction, knowledge, and motivation that I am finally in it. But for the past 6 years, my goal would be to lift twice a week, and I’d end up lifting three times a month, maybe. Ok, so maybe like 6 years ago I lifted consistently for a few months. I always knew that I needed to have a resistance training routine, especially as I approach 40 years old, but I was so bored by lifting that I never did it consistently. Matthews! Before TLS, I Did Not Like Lifting So I bought the cookbook Shredded Chef to fill the void of M.M. Tell me everything!” I read the 400+ page book in 4 days and was sad when it was over. TLS Discusses Nutrition in an Extremely Informative and Personalized WayĪs soon as Matthews started talking to the reader about what kind of diet you needed for your specific goal, I read faster and faster, because I wanted to start my diet right then! When I got to the section about the workout routines, I read faster and faster, because I wanted to start that day! As I read and devoured information, in mind I was saying, “I want to do this now. I also climb a lot, and after 4 months and 50 lifting sessions, I climb half a grade harder. It turned me from a person who lifted 3 times a month because I know it was good for me, to a person who believes she will lift 5 days a week for the rest of her active adult life. I have lifted before, I follow some resistance training specialists on social media, I have read plenty about it in articles through the years. Honestly, there is absolutely nothing negative I can say about this book or program. If it is not part of a sustainable lifestyle, then why bother, IMO I have taken vitamin, minerals, and amino acid supplements, and this and that, but I personally never keep up with it.

I personally feel that supplements are not sustainable.
