The Fattie Challenge - **Warning graphic pictures**

Shack, Gregger and I are trying to shed some extra flab and tone up for the summer. Plus, we just want to show Shack what it's like to exercise! We've teamed up with Barb Maduck and Olivia Chadwick at Partners in Fitness and Weight Management and Gary Banerd over at Fitness Solutions to help us achieve our goals.  Barb and Olivia are puting us through an 8 week nutrition and workout program...and Gary has supplied us with a Power Plate to use in the studio.

Here's our before pic.

As you can see by the arrows...each guy has an area they are focussing on.  Shack figures one chin is enough so he want to rid himself of the other three. Like me...he also wants to say goodbye to the boiler, the flat tire around our guts. And Gregger, who has already done a fine job of losing weight by hitting the gym regularly, still finds himself with a lovely pair of perogie man boobs. 

Barb has on a health wellness program that focusses on better eating...and Olivia kicks the crap out of us once a week on the Power Plate...and thoroughly enjoys doing it!

Gary provided us with a Power Plate to workout on in the studio...which now smells like a male locker room.

What's the Power Plate?  Good question.  It's an accelerated vibration trainer that allows you to work out for 15 minutes/3 times a week.  That's my kinda workout schedule...still a bit much for Shack but we're working on him. It contracts your muscles 30 times a second which gives you more of a workout in less time.  In this fast-paced world we live in...that's the way to do it. 

Check out this vid on how it works.  The three of us have been quite surprised at how sore we are the day after a Power Plate workout.

Wish us luck. We need it. After the 8 weeks are done...who do you think will have made the most progress?
