Allison Quick Success Story
This weeks client success story is about a new comer named Allison.
Allison sought me out because she was sick of feeling heavy, tired, and bloated. Allison knows what to do, when she had a training partner she got into really good shape and was eating really well. However, once her friend stopped, Allison ended up stopping too.
It is hard to stay motivated by yourself when no one is keeping you accountable. Allison recognized this fact and sought me out. After learning about her past and accessing her movements I recommended she see me once a week. I would also create other workouts for her to do on her own and I would also monitor those workouts and her calorie intake via the Just You Fitness App….Accountability.
As result of Allison’s hard work she has already lose 3.9 lbs and more importantly lost over a percent of body fat. Plus, Allison says she feels soooo much better and isn’t tired all day.
Super proud of Allison!
Side note, this past weekend I played football (flag 😉 for the first time since I played in college. I honestly can’t believe how much fun I had. So often in our busy lives we stop doing what we love and instead replace those once active fun activities with sitting and watching TV.
Plus, I made like 15 new friends and I got invited to be put on “list” lol. Yep, they take it pretty seriously…not really ;-).
How about you? What can you start doing to be more active? What was something you used to do or what was something that you want to try?
Remember the challenge from Monday? The 5 second rule? 5-4-3-2-1 go ;-).
