F45 Gains/Observations

Hi All,

TLDR: Has your Cardio improved significantly more than weightlifting or gains observed in the mirror?

--‐-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been going to F45 consistently for 8 months averaging about 4 workouts a week. For reference, I am 6'2" 235lbs, 22% BF.

I have found my muscle mass has barely changed and only gained about 5-6lbs of muscle since I have started and disappointed with these results. I believe the cause for the lack of results is me wanting to pace myself throughout the workouts and going to 80-90% of my capability instead of failure because of the short rests.

On the positive side, my cardio has improved tremendously. I play softball and last summer (before f45) I would need a 5 minute break if I ran around the bases. This summer I can do a full sprint and just need a few breathes till I am ready to play again. Im not just happy with these results but shocked in the cardio aspect.

I am reaching out to see others experiences with results, if you have experienced similar results going to F45

How much of your Day is loosening seize bolts?

I'm not a mechanic and just started doing basic car maintenance. I changed the brake rotors and pads, and man, 90% of the time was me just trying to loosen seized bolts. Which made me think how much do the pros spend of it? Without a doubt experience and better tools will shorten the time, but generally speaking how much time do you guys spend of it?
