No Nonsense Newsletter Volume 8 issue 2
It's great to experience the thrill of something - at least once in your lifetime - just to say 'Yeah! I did that! - WOW!' Something that takes your breath away!!! Achieving my best condition ever and competing with my son, Heeth (who flew here from Kansas!) in the Northern Kentucky was one of those "WOW" experiences!


I can hardly believe the progress I've made at age 40! (Note from my journal, "I feel ready and excited! What a great experience … discipline, focus, strength.") The No Nonsense Newsletter just about convinced me, but when to of our friends Brian Wiefering and Rainer Hartmann, each told us that Beverly was the only way to go, I was sold

My personal interests mirror my philosophy that life is an adventure. I love an adventure! God gives us each day to live to its fullest and gives us our bodies - a temple for God - to treat well and make it the best! But, to achieve this we must have goals. That's where weight lifting has become a big part of my life. I love the pump, being disciplined, eating right … doing something good for myself. Brian, my husband and loving soul mate, shares the same values (Goals, Focus, and Discipline) and has truly been an inspiration to me. It's all worth it to hear encouraging comments on the progress I've made and, in turn, inspire others in a positive way.

I also found that the benefits I experienced through my training and nutrition program increased my enjoyment of other recreational adventures we've pursued; like skydiving, parasailing, hot air ballooning, scuba diving, mountain biking, motorcycles, skiing, and flying airplanes. Life is to live at its fullest and I want to do it all.

"YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY, BABY":

My first competition was in 1989. I competed again in 1996. I did okay both times but was not at all satisfied with my level of muscularity or conditioning. Then I discovered Beverly. As you can probably tell I'm all about being my very best and Beverly was the perfect fit in my bodybuilding and fitness strategy.

The no Nonsense Newsletter just about convinced me, but when two of our friends Brian Wiefering and Rainer Hartmann, each told us that Beverly was the only way to go, I was sold.

"GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS"- THE BEVERLY WAY:

Oct. 2001 I decided to compete in bodybuilding at the 2002 NPC Northern Kentucky and a week later in the Figure division at the Battle of Champions. Both Rita Kaya and Sandy Riedinger helped me with diet and supplement program over the next six months. Here is a record of my progress:
Beginning Weight: 136#    Body Fat: 25.6%


STAYING ON TRACK

DIETS AND SUPPLEMENTS

The most effective diet strategy for me was to alternate two weeks of Beverly's fat burning diet (low calories and low carbs) with one week of their lean muscle gain diet. At the beginning of February I switched to a daily rotation diet until the contest.

Lean Muscle Gain Diet

Note: At 12 weeks out follow Fat Burning for 2 weeks

WEIGHT TRAINING:

CARDIO:

A TYPICAL DAY:

Beth's home pantry
My counter and pantry look like they belong to a Beverly International franchise; my fridge is an advertisement for Tupperware

Diet and Supplements definitely account for at least 80% of the results I got!

Beth and her boxing buddy
Cardio consisted of 3 - 45 min. circuit sessions weekly: starting with treadmill intervals, hitting the speed bag, then to the "body bag", 2-3 minutes of rope jumping, and back to the treadmill.
Beth's Cardio with a speed bag is part of her circuit training

The entire "crew" at Beverly was phenomenal... helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. My husband Brian was a one-man motivational support system. Above all, my Faith gave me focus, and the strength and courage to achieve my dream. With God, all things are possible.
