David's 3 months make over week 12

            FITNOX TAKES ANY CLIENTS TO ANY GOAL !

3 months ago David come to me and said I want to lose weight, get fit and be healthy, I do anything you say :-)). So this is how we started at 219 lb and 25% body fat and low back pain ( had disc surgery about 4 years ago).
David's goal was to lose weight, get fit, be healthy and get rid of the low back pain, what he had even after the surgery. My goal was to make sure he reaches his goal :-)) and help him develop heathy eating habits, love and passion for regular exercise and make lasting changes in his lifestyle that he can stick for the rest of his life.
3 months after let's see how much we accomplished: he is 25.5 lb lighter and his body fat is down to 19%, if you remember we started with 12 push ups, now he can do 30 and wasn't able to do any assisted pull ups 3 months ago, now he can do 8, a full hour of hard core work out and only have back pain when the weather is going to change :-))). He already got a membership to a gym and promised that he is going to work out 3 times a week and keep up the work that we started.
My other goal with David's make over was to show anybody how easy it is to lose weight in a healthy way without any magic pills or surgery. All you have to do is decide it and put the work in it, go on a diet that you can keep for the rest of your life, eat food not junk, lots of fresh veggies and fruits, good, healthy fats, lean and clean protein and drink a lot of water. Make regular exercise a part of your weekly routine, have a good night sleep and lough a lot :-))).
Thats all it takes, I did it 6 years ago, David did it now and a lots of other people, YOU can do it,too.

If you had  start it 3 months ago, this could be YOU :-)))

David's Make Over week 11

David's last week was an other great success, lost 2.5 lb, so he is 193.5 lb, 25.5 lb lighter then 11 weeks ago. He might not be able to hit the 30 lb in 3 months, but come pretty close to it, which I think deserves a big Congratulations, he did a really good job with the diet and exercise, too. He has no sugar carvings any more, if he is hungry between meals snacks on raw, unsalted nuts, moves a lot easier, less stress on his lower back and knees and developed a lot of  good habits, like buying only foods that is good for him, planing and preparing the meals for himself, regular exercise on a weekly basis and drinking a lot of water.

Csilla's make over week 7

You can't always measure progress on the scale and even if you don't see any results for a while you just have to keep doing the work and believe in it. Losing weight is not only diet and exercise but a mental thing, too. Being over weight and eating empty calories for a long period of time it makes the body hold on to the body fat and every calories that we put in our body because it goes on starving mode. We have to give the body real food filed with nutrient to be able to go off from starving mode. Sometimes people hold on to their weight mentally, it's not easy to let it go, especially if you don't know why are you holding to it. It helps a lot to find out the real reason behind your weight.
The weight is coming of from Csilla slowly but she has great progress on the tread-mill and exercising. She is getting a lot fitter, stronger, healthier even though it's still hard to stick to regular breakfasts and drinking water, and moves a lot easier.
She is running on 8.5 mile/hour on the tread-mill for 30 sec and only needs 1 min recovery time and back to 8.5 for another 4-5 intervals, compared to 5 mile/hour less then 2 months ago when we started.
This weeks exercises were a little bit more dynamic, we did a proper warm up and then did the core and full body exercises in on set without any breaks between reps and had only 1 min break between sets and did 3 sets.

Warm up:
Back lunge with a twist

Mini band side walk

Full body circuit:

Corkscrews  3X 12/side
Plank 3x 30 sec hold
Band swings 3X 15
Band snatches 3X 15
Band squats with over head press 3X12
Jumping jacks with bar 3x15

Stretch

David's make over week 9

Now that Davis is getting closer to his ideal body weight is getting harder and harder to lose weight.  Last week he didn't lose any weight, he still weigh 197 lb, from now on if he wants to lose more weight he has to cut back on food or pump up the intensity of the workouts.
This week he is doing a high intensity interval training with kettle bells and body weight. Only 3 exercises -beside the 2 core exercise and the warm up- but 6 set and between 10-20 repetitions.
We  started with the regular foam rolling and warm up, back lying torso twist and modified leg raise, the we did the core exercises, standing cable front press and side plank with cable row, and the we did 6 sets from the following 3  exercises: double arm swings with deep squats and over head press, push ups and side plank with cable row. He started with 10 reps from each exercises then did 12,14,16,18 and 20.
The benefits of doing high intensity interval workouts with weights is that beside building muscle you get a good cardio workout, too. If you only take short ( 1-2 min) brakes between exercises, its good for your muscles and heart, too and burns a ton of energy and leaves you with the feeling of a good, intense workout.
 Right after the work out David has a vegan protein shake for dinner, to help his body to build muscle.

Core

Standing cable front press 2X 12/side

Side plank with cable row 2x 12/side

Full  Body

Double arm swings with deep squats and over head press 6X 10-20 

Push ups 6X 10-20

Side plank with cable row 6X 10-20
