For me, personally, it's extremely important to create a relationship with my students because I actually want to help you reach your fitness goals. I'm not some anonymous school that hides behind the desk. I love interacting with people around the world and working with them towards their green body.
So to start this video, let me begin with my personal fitness journey. A lot of people have asked me about my transformation. So let me share that with you. Now. When I first got into fitness, I was a teen and extremely skinny. I'm about six foot one and at that Way to round 150 pounds, maybe even less.
So my main goal was to not be skinny anymore and build some muscle. Of course, I had no idea what I was doing. So I basically copied my friends at the gym and did nothing to improve my diet. As you can imagine, that didn't really do anything. So after a few months, I decided to do some research and find some proven workouts to get bigger and build strength. I learned that most athletes work in two phases where they first bulk up and gain mass and then later cut down on body fat while maintaining their muscle mass.
So I tried that and it actually worked. The problem was that I totally overdid it. Even though I got stronger by the day, I also gained a lot more body fat than I wanted, and after a few months, I looked like this. As you can see, this wasn't the look I wanted, but at least I gained some confidence and knew how to build muscle. So the next step was to lose fat to finally make my muscles Period. Figuring out the right Fat Loss Diet took me a while, but I made some good progress.
Of course, there were also setbacks along the way. And they taught me that the process of improving your health and fitness will never be a straight line. Just like when you try to build a career or your own business, you will always face obstacles. I learned that the goal isn't to avoid these obstacles, but to accept them and deal with them. Many famous fitness gurus will tell you that you can look like a model within a few weeks, or sometimes even days if you only buy their product. I never really liked this approach.
And at some point, I lost interest in all the magazines and hyped up groups. Instead, I tried to focus on sustainable changes while making small but long term improvements. And this is where it really started seeing results not only in my fitness, but in my overall mindset. I started designing my own training programs and stuck to what was scientifically proven to work. I learned that the best workouts and diets are those that Build around what you like and not the latest path. Along the way I became a state certified nutritionist and started my blog, nutrition and fitness dotnet I now help beginners around the world to lose weight gain muscle recipie live a healthier life.
