Coach: Tammy Strome Good news! E’s down 5 lbs to 137 lbs after 4 weeks. This is a nice, progressive loss of 1.25 lbs per week to spare muscle and burn fat. We’ll be tightening things up again with cardio, diet and training. This week, the adjustment will be an increase in cardio. Depending on [...]

I totally get that not everyone wants to look like one of the top male bodybuilders of today. I’ve never aspired to look like that either…a good thing since I’m a woman. So let the myth be officially busted. Women don’t have to look like men to join this sport, and men don’t all have to [...]

Coach: Tammy Strome E is in full swing now; she already lost 5 lbs! We filmed some video footage of her this past Saturday and a trained eye could see she was losing some of her upper body fat already. That’s fat loss for ya! It never comes off evenly, and it’s most noticeable  first in the areas where [...]

Coach: Tammy Stromes Well…we are off to the races! So there are just 15 weeks to show day and Eftihia (E) is excited to get started.  I love this part too, as it’s neat to see the before result knowing that, when this is over, she’ll have an entirely different body.  Every drop of fat [...]

Introducing Team T&E As some of you may know…my father suffered a massive hemorraghic stroke in early February and died on February 20. It was sudden and unexpected. He had always been in perfect health and was only 69 years old. We were very close so the sudden nature of his death made me start [...]

Okay…this clearly applies to those desk jockeys and desk divas who are sitting all day long. but it also applies to non sitting individuals who just might structurally have short hips flexors and a lordotic spinal curve.
