Yesterday was our final testing for the Farrell’s eXtreme Bodyshaping 10 Week Challenge.

Here are my results!
| Week 1 | Week 5 | Week 10 | |
| Height | 5’7 | 5’7 | 5’7 |
| Chest | 32.5 | 32.5 | 33.5 |
| Waist | 25 | 24.5 | 24.5 |
| Arms | 9.5 | 9.5 | 9.75 |
| Thigh | 20.25 | 19.5 | 19.5 |
| Hips | 38 | 36.5 | 36.75 |
| Weight | 140 | 138 | 133 |
| Body Fat % | 22 | 18.5 | 17 |
I am really happy with where I ended up. I’ll admit that I haven’t been following the nutrition plan very closely for the last 5 weeks (um, I practically ate my way through NYC), so I am happy to see I was able to still lose body fat and maintain my measurements. Since I’m continuing on with the workouts (in the FIT program), I am going to try to continue eating 6 times a day and continue keeping up with my protein & water intake.
| Week 1 | Week 5 | Week 10 | |
| Push-ups (1 min, on toes) | 33 | 61 | 81 |
| Sit-ups (1 min) | 42 | 61 | 64 |
| Sit & Reach | 23 | 25.5 | 26 |
| Mile Run | ————- | 7.29 | 7.08 |
I was also more than happy with my fitness tests. I’m glad that I’m still seeing such great improvement. But whoa, am I sore today from the push-ups!
And here are my before and after pictures. I think they really show what Farrell’s is all about. It’s not a weight loss program, it is a body shaping program. I am more toned and I have more muscle definition now. I feel stronger, tighter, and more fit.





We had our 10 Week Celebration Banquet last night at the Hard Rock Hotel. It was a blast. Seeing how happy and proud my classmates were of their accomplishments was amazing. There were individuals in my class who could not do one sit-up on the first day of testing. There were individuals who had not worked out a day in their lives. They made it through the entire 10 weeks and changed their lives for the better. It is truly inspiring.
And since this program has helped me reach my goals, I want to help others achieve theirs. I’ve decided to become an instructor! I am very excited and will start training soon. I can’t wait!












Wow. Great job. You looked awesome before, but I can definitely see the difference in your stomach. You have me motivated!

Now I know what I’m doing to get back in shape after I give birth!
You look great Cait! I’m so jealous of your abs!
All your hard work paid off!
wow- you look fabulous lady!! Though you of course look great in both you can definitely see the definition in your abs from the workouts. That is so great!! And I love that the class was a medley of diverse people. I think it’s such a treat to experience something with a group of people whom you likely otherwise wouldn’t have met. And congrats on deciding to become an instructor!

You still have time to sign up for the spring session if you’re interested! Orientation starts next Saturday. Oh, and there are some great discounts on a few of the class times right now!
Nice job! I’ll need to check out that program. I think nutrition is the hardest thing for me because i love to snack. i do fine on my own, but when my husband brings out the cheese & crackers, its over! lol.
but you look awesome. so maybe I can still achieve the results i’m looking for. BTW, i love how you increased your pushups! Definitely still working on that one!

Thanks! Yeah, nutrition was the hardest part for me, too. I was really good for the first 5 weeks and that’s when I saw the most change in body fat, etc, so I want to get back to eating more like that (I’ve totally fallen off the wagon eating wise lately!). I’m really proud of my progress with push-ups! Keep it up!
