Summary of Phase Two – Live Fit Trainer

Phase Two was much harder for me than Phase One was.  I felt like it was the “hump” of the workout.  During phase 1, I think I was still in the early “honeymoon” stage of the plan where everything was new and exciting (not to mention only working out 4 times a week!).  When you add 6 workouts a week and only medium intensity cardio for 4 weeks…I can’t lie..it got tough.

I lacked a lot of motivation in phase 2.  I missed a workout or two during Thanksgiving, which made me have days when I had to double up my workouts to make up for a busy schedule.  Doubling up workouts is NOT EASY.  I would either workout on my lunch break and then in the evening again….or I would do two workouts in one session.  Both options are tough but I’d prefer to go twice in one day to split it up. 

I know the main objective of phase two was to build as much muscle as possible before the “sculpting” done in phase 3.  I do feel like I”ve added a lot of muscle, so hopefully my phase 3 results will make me proud.  I’m guessing I will lose more weight in Phase 3, however I’m shocked at how much I’ve already lost in Phases 1 and 2!!!! I heard a lot of reviews about girls who gained weight in phase one and lost a couple lbs in phase two…well I lost a lot for my body size.  Hey..I’m not complaining!!!

Here’s a glance at all the workouts that I did in Phase 2.  If you click on the image..you can actually go to the LiveFit website to see each day in more detail.

Gosh…looking back at all these workouts makes me feel accomplished!  That’s a lot of time, sweat and tears (yes, I am guilty of crying once on the treadmill, see why in this old post).

My measurements are below.  The “start” column are my measurements from before I started the trainer.  The “current” column are my stats today.

  Start    Current  
Weight 137 128
Height 5’7 5’7
Bodyfat 21% 19%
Arms 12″ 11.5″
Hips 37″ 36″
Waist 32″ 29″
Thighs 23 21.5
Calves 13″ 13.5″
Shoulders    37″ 36.5″

I haven’t been able to test my bodyfat that often, so my bodyfat may be inaccurate.  I just listed the average of the last few measurements I took.  Overall, I’ve lost 9 lbs and gained muscle!!! Can’t get better than that.  Bring on phase 3 baby!

  1. Your progress is inspiring! I have been wanting to do this program for awhile now and have finally decided to give it a go! Seeing your blog has been extremely helpful in getting a first-hand look into what the entire program looks like! As far as nutrition, do you just try to eat as clean as possible and incorporate lots of protein?

    Thanks for all your tips and encouraging posts 🙂

    • Thanks Natalie!! When I started this plan, I always wished there was a blog that I could follow with someone else who did the same program. At the time I started, there were none so I decided to create one! I’m glad it’s inspiring to someone 🙂

      As for eating, yes I just try to eat as clean as possible and LOTS of protein. I actually JUST finished a protein shake as I was reading your comment 🙂 Good luck with the program and let me know if you have any questions at all. I’d be glad to help!

  2. Just curious- It looks like your hips added 1.5″ from the end of phase 1? Is that typo or muscle??

    I am thinking about starting this program Monday. I have worked out/played competitive sports since grade school. and have always eaten well, could stand to up my protein though and kick my Diet Coke habit! Just looking at the Week 1 Day 1 workout it looks super short? I currently alternate days lifting upper/ab & lower. My upper day has 12 exercises and 3 abs. So to drop to 6 exercises makes me nervous. Did you think this, too?
    Your results are great, so I am trying to focus on all the positives I hear about LiveFit, not on my inner negatives. I am glad to hear that you didn’t follow her diet, just thinking of all those eggs makes me nauseous!
    The last 4 months I have just lost the workout bug (I guess after 20+ yrs it happens) and I am up in weight and lost my muscles! I am 5’10” and am 143, I like to live between 133-136. I will complete this 12 week LiveFit then likely sign up for your personal training (or join the wait list! go you, being booked up and all!).

    Any tips from a LiveFit vet??!

    PS- I LOVED Religulous! So funny (and true!)

    • Hey! It may have been a typo. I did it quite a while ago so I don’t really remember the specific measurements. Maybe I measured wrong at first? I completely recommend doing livefit. The workouts start out short but get long and very intense! Do it!!! Good luck 🙂

  3. Hi Erin! I have been looking into the LiveFit program and stumbled upon your blog. I love it! I have a question, though. I am looking to begin this program some time soon, but I do not have anyone to work out with me. Will I need someone to spot me?
