Halfway Point: Measurement Day!

Today marks the halfway point in the MOOsers journey so measurements and halfway pics were in order.  I don't have the complete reporting numbers but when I do I'll get them up.  However I am going to post what I have because I know you are very much anticipating to see how they have done so far.

Well I won't waste anymore time, here are the numbers:

Emily:
9 pounds lost
2.3% body fat lost
9 inches lost

George
6.1% body fat lost
9.25 inches lost
weight will be reported on Friday

Jule
15 pounds lost
9.25 inches lost
2.5% body fat lost

Shannon
18.5 pounds lost
2% body fat lost
7 inches lost


Once all numbers are reported I will calculate and post who is leading in the contest as all measurements are taken into account: percent weight lost, percent body fat lost (has twice value of other measurements), and inches lost as a percentage.

Here are the day 1 pics and the week 6 pics


Jule Day 1                                  Jule Week 6

Emily Day 1                              Emily Week 6



George Day 1                           George Week 6


Shannon Day 1                          Shannon Week 6



As you can see the pictures on the left are Day 1 pics and the second column is Week 6 pics.  You can see some changes in body shape and can definately tell things are happening.

I know some of the measurements don't completely reflect the effort put in by the MOOsers but it is important to understand this is movement and that everyones body is going to respond a little differently.  However the end result is very predictable and expected when all the tools are in place.  What the MOOser are doing are going to produce results by design not by chance.  Stick to the plan and you will get exactly what you want.

As for the workout, here is what the moosers did today:

50/10

Hand to Hand Kettlebell Swings
Sidewinder Push ups
Rows
Burpee Clean and Press
Frog Squats

50 seconds of work 10 second transition, complete 4 rounds. 

A classic workout with a ton of fat loss potential.  Here is some video of the action:




This workout had a little of everything, but mostly some new movements that really put the MOOsers to the test, but the effort was no different.  They pushed hard grunting, yelling, and sweating their way through each and every repetition (well maybe not George on the grunting and yelling:).

Tomorrow another cardio day, stay tuned...
