All done.... GRADUATION POST
- Jul 17th, 2018 at 10:13AM
I spent the last week really looking forward to completing KB3 and yet dreading that "what now" feeling that I get when it's done. And here I am...
Every KB program is different: the way I handle it and how my body reacts. And there is always so much to enjoy and learn. But this round I am going analytical. With this program I don't think the physical changes really kicked in until well and truly into the final month. This is most likely because that's when I started doing a little bit of extra cardio with more jump rope. And then when I took up some group exercise classes, that's when I began to feel that higher level of energy kick in. And I know it is obvious: the more you do, the greater the impact and the better the result. But in all past programs I had always done additional cardio, whether it was classes, running, hiking, doubling up on the jump rope or carrying around a baby. Not on this program - I have never been so sedentary in my life. So the differences and the lessons are that much more obvious this program: strength training is important but I need far more cardio than 20mins of jump rope for my body to change and energy levels to increase.
Thank you so much to all the trainers and my fellow team mates. You guys are the BEST and I couldn't have done it without your support and guidance. Hope to train with all of you again soon.

Chi, I think you have made quite a difference from Day 1 especially on arms and waistline. I know what you mean by being sedentary after all those active time you had in Japan, but I am so proud of you keeping it going while making adjustments I am sure it’s not easy. You are always a powerhouse - a small woman with a lot of power! You are a super amazeball. Glad to finally train with you. =)

Well done for completing KB3, maybe the cardio portion of the program wasn't enjoy for you but it looks like the rest of the program was! I am sure when you do future programs that you can throw in some extra cardio (time permitting of course) and that it will satisfy your need for hard work! :-)

Nice analysis and learning for you, Chi! I'd say that makes this a very successful program for you. I can definitely see the results from the last month. I enjoyed your honesty and vulnerability on the blog. I also enjoyed reading about your Mommy woes, as I can really identify. :) Look forward to seeing you in future cycles!

Great summary and reflection. You are looking and sounding the part of a very experienced training. Equal parts low body fat and high training IQ!
See, every body is a bit different, Chi. After several training cycles, it's good to know that you are cracking your own personal code. I know this cycle didn't come easy, but here you are once more on top of Mt. Kenzai. And those abs are booming! COMPLETE.
