I Took the 3 Day Trial, Here Are The Results

A while back while on my road trips, I was asked if I wanted to do a 3 day trial offer in using Herbalife products. Looking for a good jumpstart to my health and fitness to get back on track after being on the road a lot, it was a good choice to make.

The 3 day pack was essentially 6 shakes to take, 2 per day, and some pills for energy.  Honestly, all I took were the shakes and just one pill, and accidentally forgot about the rest of the pills.

I was first measured by my friend putting me on the trial, Heidi, who sold me the package.
My weight was 211.6, 15.7% body fat.  That's a breakdown of 169.8/41.8 in Muscle/Fat.
This measurement was taken on Saturday, Nov 7th at 4 in the afternoon.

I kept up with my usual diet on Sunday and started the 3 Day series on Monday.

A shake in the morning after my workout, a shake for lunch, and then a meal, with small snacks in between.

I knew in general that a restriction in calories with just 2, 150 calorie shakes in a day would help me lose some weight. What I saw was a big change in body composition overall.

Today, Thursday, was my weigh-in and body comp test.

My final numbers? 209.2, 12.5%, 174.2 Muscle, 35.0 pounds of fat.

It was a 6.8 pound loss in fat overall, and gain of 4.4 in muscle mass.

Exercise workouts were:
Sunday: Off as a rest day
Monday: 10 Minute KB workout of 2 minutes of Swings, then 2 min of Cleans, 2 min of Presses, 2 min of cleans, and 2 min of swings, done in the 20/10 format.
Tuesday: A 16 minute HWR workout in the 20/10 format
Wednesday: A short 1.5 mile run, followed by 10 minutes of HWR workout in the 20/10 format
Thursday: Another KB workout of 300 swings, doing 100/100/100 of 45#, 40# and 35# swings in succession, brief rests to switch weights.  This was under 10 minutes.

Not a whole lot of workout time, but the restriction in calories plus the boost these workouts give showed me that it did a great change in just a few days, less than a week of time.

I know for some serious long term loss, these types of brief, intense workouts will help and when matched with sensible dieting, it will help me get back to a good 'racing weight' and get my body back into a good shape for running well once again.

If you are looking for a good sample plan to try for a brief time, try it for 3 days and I suggest doing some Home Workout Revolution workouts combined with it.  It is a great blend with any solid, sensible diet plan. 

A shake for breakfast, shake for lunch, sensible meal at night, small snacks as well.  It's not that hard. All in all, I'm very impressed with what HWR can do in a small amount of time when combined with a good diet. I was not expecting those numbers, but it was good to get it done independently and not on my own. 

I'm contemplating going more on the Herbalife products, but I'm sure going to stick with HWR for quite a while as I work toward reaching my goals.
