I lived a stagnant lifestyle and I was eating a diet of PIZZA and SHAKES. After growing into size 46 jeans, I found motivated and lost 70 pounds! :)
Lifestyle Prior To Change
What was my lifestyle like before transformation?
I'm a phyisiotherapist, so my lifestyle should be healthier than before; But I was sitting all day in a chair, having a really bad diet, chocolate shakes, burgers, pizza, pork, sodas...
People asked me what was my low point or turning point?
When I saw myself in mirror I was wishing it wasn't me, also all clothes were looking stupid on me... I was shocked that I got to this point...
Were there any unique challenges or circumstances that made my transformation particularly difficult?
Well the diet was reallly hard to keep up. People around me were eating thier normal foods: Burger, pizza, and all kind of greasy foods... It wasn't eay to get rid of that one...
I should provide a timeline including when I started the transformation, and include major milestones along the way:
Transformation Start: May 2016.
Milestone: September 2016, my first goal was to lower my body fat percentage, my belly was an awful thing to wear, I lost all my clothes, jeans, t-shirts, so I had to buy new clothes.
Milestone: November 2016, after I lost almost 30 pounds I found myself a little bit skinny so I started to workout in an actual gym, to pack some muscles and get strogner.
Milestone: May 2017, after 5 months in the gym I realize I really like to workout and I fall in love with gym, I started to learn more about my routines, and till now looking forward for a shredded body.
Transformation End: Still in process...
My training's approach
In the first year I could only manage to do power walks and some weighted routines After a year, I started to hit the gym and see my real gains.
I should add a workout that worked best for me:
Monday - Hamstrings and Shoulders
Tuesday - Chest, Back
Wednesday - Biceps, Triceps and Calves
Thursday - Quadriceps, Shoulders
Friday - Abs and Arms
Notes: I switch between exercises and reps every week.
Week 1 - 10 to 12 reps
Week 2 - 6 to 8 reps
