Sherry says, "The only problem with The Perfect Workout? "I can't retire because I need to stay near a Perfect Workout studio!" In all seriousness, Sherry does plan to continue. "This is a lifetime commitment. There's always room for improvement. I always felt that way but never did it. Now I'm seeing results, and I like doing it."
After Sherry Tomar was diagnosed with osteoporosis, she forced herself to go to the gym, even though she hated it. The workouts were too long, and she got bored doing the old school routines of three sets at each machine with a lot of rest. So when she got a flier in the mail advertising a 20-minute workout, it caught her attention. She thought, "If can help my osteoporosis and get in a good workout, that's the ticket." She also wanted to get rid of her "lady-arm" underarms and "butt over-hang," as she puts it. Ten months later, "I was absolutely correct," she says. In that time, Sherry maintained her weight, lost 2% body fat, increased her bone density, and put on five pounds of muscle mass. She also got noticeably stronger and firmer, going from 100 to 220 pounds on the leg press and 82 to 130 pounds on the abduction machine.
The numbers are nice, but it's the other side effects that Sherry is excited about. "My legs don't jiggle now when I walk, and I'm still sporting a bikini at 62. I don't have to cover up at the pool. And I have little rhomboids and trapezoids now!" Sherry's husband was so blown away by her results, he decided to join four months ago, too. It's all much more pleasant than her past gym experiences. "I can just show up. There's none of that social stuff like with a regular gym." Michelle, her trainer at the Bethesda studio, is right there and doesn't let her make any mistakes or cheat. "We have a lot of laughs. She's energetic and funny, but that doesn't diminish the seriousness of the training," says Sherry.
A couple of Sherry's interior design clients even noticed her transformation. One commented on her new calf muscles, which he said used to look like two broomsticks in a bucket. Another noticed her well-defined arms. "I can tell when I wear my clothes. I look more shapely. I feel good," she says. Sherry and her husband are on the go, spending weekends in New York City or in the country, or visiting their children who are spread out from California to Greece. "We keep it moving," says Sherry. The only problem with The Perfect Workout? "I can't retire because I need to stay near a Perfect Workout studio!" In all seriousness, Sherry does plan to continue. "This is a lifetime commitment. There's always room for improvement. I always felt that way but never did it. Now I'm seeing results, and I like doing it."
