The 17 Week Challenge - Photo Time!!!!

OK guys - it's week 6 of the 17 Week Challenge at Beta Fitness. For any of you who have taken up the challenge and kept to it - you should have noticed great results already. For those of you who have yet to take up the challenge - well then hopefully this might encourage you. I could never promise guaranteed results from my training programs unless I truely believed that they worked, and so that was why when I decided to share this program with the world, I was determined to take part in it myself to show you the results. I knew that if I kept as close to it as possible, I could get to week 6 with pretty decent results to share - so I made a promise that I would take photos each week and on the sixth week I would show them. So here they are just for you...

There is still well over half of the challenge to go - so I am even more confident now that in week 17 I will be posting some more amazing transformation pictures for you all to see. I also have to admit that I havn't stuck to the program 100% - the first couple of week I did none of the interval training (only resistance), and since then I have done the majority of the intervals but still not all of them. I know that if I had done all of the workouts I would be in even better shape - but still I am more than happy with the results so far. My diet has been pretty average and I still have been eating some bad food (junk food!). So there you go. You really don't have to suffer to start changing that body. I can honestly say that I have enjoyed these first few weeks and am now looking forward to my future workouts! I really do hope some of you are getting motivated to get in shape. Keep working it hard and see you on the beach!

The 17 Week Challenge - Week 4-6 - Workout A1

We're onto week 4 of the 17 week challenge and we're back to the 15 rep sets. You hould be lifting more than those 15 rep sets in week 1. We're also introducing a few new variations on exercises to up the intensity a little bit more!

The 17 Week Challenge Week 2 - Workout A3

Here's the last workout of week 2. It's still 12 rep sets - so remember to increase the weights you were lifting in week 1 by about 10%.

The 17 Week Challenge Week 2 - Workout A2

Here's the second workout of week 2. Remember we are sticking to 12 rep sets, which means you should be lifting more weights than in the first week. Make sure you focus on good form - don't use weights that are too heavy!! If you aren't sure how you can fit in a full set of pull up, watch our 'progression to a pull up' video which will show you easier alternatives to a full pull up.

The 17 Week Challenge Week 2 - Workout A1

We now move into the second week of the 17 week challenge. Many of the exercises here are the same as week 1 - but notice that the reps have dropped to 12. This means that the weights you will be lifting will be higher than the first week. Try increasing the weight by 10% and see how you get on. You should be reaching form failure by the end of the set!
