shanmonster | Back Then and Back Now

This is me this time last year. I was doing regular weight-training, lifting heavy free weights:

This is me today. I've been doing TRX suspension training for just under two weeks, and calisthenics, dance, yoga, and isometric exercises sporadically for the past year.

I believe I have lost muscle mass. That being said, it's still not too shabby. Oddly enough, my measurements aren't significantly different. I even weigh about the same. I'm curious to see how I measure up in a month's time. I continue to do TRX training three times a week as my main strength- and stamina-building exercise. I haven't noticed a significant difference in strength, but in the past week, I have noticed an improvement in my stamina.

On Saturday, I will be trying out a CrossFit class for the first time. If I like it (and I suspect I shall), once my TRX training sessions are done, I'm switching over to CrossFit.

In the meantime, the bootcamp classes I've been leading have been going well. A few people dropped out after the very first class, but those who have stuck with it have been busting their asses and I'm seeing dramatic improvement all around. The next month's session is already sold out.
