Raven Joins OrangeTheory Fitness' Transformation Challenge - Week 3 [PHOTOS]

I started OrangeTheory Fitness' six-week Transformation Challenge in an effort to build and tone muscle (especially my glutes). I also wanted to learn to live a healthier lifestyle (eating right, eliminating stress, etc). Three weeks into the challenge, which started on Jan. 23, AND I feel incredible.

I start my morning with an OrangeTheory Fitness workout at 9:30 a.m. Before class starts, I hop on the treadmill to get my blood flowing and my heart pumping. On Week 1 of the challenge, I was a Power Walker (level 1). Now, at Week 3, I'm making the transition to jogger (level 2). I hate running, but it gets easier after every class.

I work with 10-15 lb weights on the floor. We focus on arms, legs, butt and abs, and since we're always adding weight to our workout, I've gained muscle on my biceps, thighs and glutes.

Before the challenge, I met with Quinn, one of the trainers at OrangeTheory Fitness - Plymouth, to have an assessment and to set a couple outcome and behavioral goals during the transformation challenge. Check out my numbers, goals and Week 3 photos below (click here to see Week 1 photos):
