Hi everyone, it’s Kat, reporting back on week 12 of #12weekstounleash with #tonal
I am officially done with 12 Weeks to Unleash!! I did my final DEXA today and gained 1.7 pounds of muscle in the past three months. I am so stoked!! I attached a picture comparing my report from February to the one I just did today. I did gain a small amount of fat, which I am not worried about.
This is truly awesome for me, as I tried for a year to gain muscle and didn’t gain any according to various DEXAs. And now in a few months I’ve gained almost 2 pounds!! I attribute the gain to how much this program pushed me to lift, and also to eating more.
So, it is safe to say I did accomplish my goal of gaining muscle! It feels so good to have pushed myself over the past few months and to be stronger for it. I feel much stronger both mentally and physically. Unfortunately, it seems I might badly strained my adductor muscle a few weeks ago on the Copenhagen’s and it still has not healed (perhaps I should’ve take some more time off 🙃), so I am nursing that injury a bit. Thankfully I was still able to finish the program, and now I can rest it!
I now plan to take a week or two off of heavy lifting and do more Pilates, yoga, etc. Then I plan to jump back into another 12 week program by Joe, probably either 12w2u or 12w2j.
Thanks for following the journey, everyone. 🥳✌️
