Introduction

Reddit user sh4kira shared her weight loss journey and progress through a series of updates in 3 weeks, from 130 to 125 pounds. Her post has attracted 64 upvotes and several comments admiring her achievement.

Weights Training

Sh4kira revealed to her fellow users that she does weights training on machines and occasionally uses dumbells for different muscle groups. Her method is to start with a weight that is easy for 8 reps then increase the weight load for the following sets. She emphasized the importance of selecting a weight that is difficult but feasible to keep the focus on muscle definition rather than bulking up.

Benefits of Lifting vs. Running

While running helps her manage her eating habits and control her beer belly, sh4kira said that she found weightlifting provided her with quicker results, allowing her to see muscle definition almost instantly which kept her motivated, unlike cardio which can take longer to see the same results. She also appreciates the confidence boost she gets from having better muscle proportions on her body.

She expressed gratitude for the support and positivity she received and felt motivated to continue her journey.

Conclusion

Shakira's weight loss journey in 3 weeks is admirable, and her knack for combining weights training and cardio to achieve her ideal figure is inspiring. Her story offers a valuable lesson that with grit, discipline, and motivation, anyone can pursue their fitness goals and achieve them.
