So I've been doing DB365 for about two months now and here are some of my observations.
1. First of all, I feel strong -- or at least stronger than I did at the beginning of the year.
2. I've lost about 13 pounds. Since I'm in my 50s, loosing weight is a lot harder with a slower metabolism. A few simple changes in my diet and daily exercise have made a huge difference. I'll address the dietary changes another time.
3. I can get up from a kneeling or squatting position without having to hold on to anything. I hope I never find myself in the "help, I've fallen and can't get up" situation, but I think strengthening my lower body definitely helps in this case.
4. I have tinnitus. I've had it for several years. I take lipo-flavenoid and have cut out all caffeine to help curb the symptoms. The tinnitus has not gone away and likely never will, but I've noticed in the evenings the ringing is softer, not as severe as it used to be. I don't know if this is related to exercise, but I'll take any change to the confound noise that has been going on inside me head for years.
Also, a white noise generator really works!
5. I can hold a plank for about two minutes.
6. My energy is great!
7. My stomach is still flabby. But that's okay for now. I hope that some of the belly fat will begin to go down a bit because it's hard to do exercises on my stomach or do yoga up-dogs or even child's pose. My flabby tummy gets in the way. Oh well, I'll keep working it. I'll check back in a few months to see if this has any noticeable changes.
