P.volve Transformations — Candace H.
At P.volve, we love hearing about clients’ progress and seeing how they’re crushing our workouts. These ladies, near and far, are giving the P.volve community some major inspo through their incredible before and after transformations.
We're back with another submission! This week, Candace takes us through her incredible journey so far with P.volve, revealing not only her insane physical results after only 3 months, but the mindset shifts she has made along the way. Read on!
"I absolutely love P.volve. I walked into this program not expecting much other than to de-bulk my body. I got way with so much more than that. I feel absolutely amazing not only just when I look in the mirror, but also the way I walk is amazing. With every step I take, I have more awareness of the muscles that I use to walk. I can feel my glutes when I walk! What?!
The first photo is the before photo. At 210lbs in June, I felt good because I lost a lot of weight by running and lifting weights. Though I then plateaued, and didn't feel like my daily efforts were doing much.
In the second photo, from October, I had stopped going to the gym. I did P.volve and walked during the day. The photo was taken midway through October and I was halfway through my 21 Day Butt Lift challenge and felt absolutely incredible. Everything was confusing at first and I didn't really know if I was doing everything correctly, though I saw and felt the difference!
The third photo, in December, has been my third full month of solely doing P.volve workouts and I couldn't be more proud of the results. My arm flab is still there but when I flex, it just disappears! (It's like magic but I know the skin will tighten up soon). My obliques are showing and I've got the line down the side of my thigh that P always talks about. I feel like the best version of myself and I couldn't have imagined achieving these results just by going to the gym and *attempting* to look like I know what I'm doing with all those complex machines.
Now my journey still continues into 2019 as I have new goals to make.
I wish all P.volve streamers, new and experienced, great luck with their journey in 2019!"
How did you find out about P.volve?
Sanne Vloet recommended P.volve to her Instagram followers. I became interested and saw that it was low impact workouts. I have knee issues where any time I climb a stair or step, my knee cracks. I was doing standard squats and lunges in the gym which made a loud crack every time I bent down. I was on the lookout for a workout that was low impact & that would still tone me up. I found P.volve through Sanne & I was hooked from there. (After 3 months of P.volve my knee now cracks quietly & sometimes not at all).
I work the PM shift & don't get home until 2AM. I typically do my workouts around 3AM after settling in from work. I have found success in having a set time to workout and building it to become a pattern. From there, it's all habit.
The P.band! I love how the P.band can be used with any lower body piece of equipment to make it a more challenging workout. It's also really great because it has the ability to be worn while doing plank position workouts without having to remove it or adjust it.
I am currently in love with the stretching videos, The Ankle & Calf Stretch to be exact. I am currently trying to get my calves lengthened so I can get into a sitting squat easier and also remove all the bulk from being overweight. The best part about the video is that it gets all angles of the ankle and calf, which is neglected by most workouts/trainers.
I am not sure if my favorite move has a name. Basically you're on all fours, one arm is down on your forearm and you have one of your legs hovered and parallel to the ground. The movement consists of opening your hips to the side of the leg that's up (so if your left leg is up, you open your hips to the left) and returning your hips back to neutral. That is my favorite move because it is so simple but yet there's so much going on. Balance is required, keeping your arms locked & engaged, making sure your leg is still lifted during the move, opening and closing your hips properly, and making sure your stabilizing leg is shifted.
