I found as I got older, it was getting easier to get fluffy. I did CrossFit 4-6 days a week, ate healthy but still found my body composition wasn’t what I was thinking it should be for how hard I worked.
I hired a trainer, and it got worse, then another and another, then the more I learned, the more I realized not all of them were as educated as I thought they were. But like doctors, dentists and trades people, they’re not all the same and finally found one that knew their stuff and the changes in just a few short weeks was insane. I actually found her on Instagram once my algorithm changed to a lot of fitness oriented posts. I started an 8 week challenge that was pretty reasonable in cost and started from there. Realized my eating healthy wasn’t exactly as balanced as I thought, cut down on CrossFit and focused more on weight lifting. Bam, 8 weeks I was damn near shredded.
I do often fall off the wagon when I’m busy, but a quick 8 week challenge is a great way to reset the program. There’s a bunch of dudes I follow to that I have seen people make huge transformations if you ever wanted to give one a try I can send you their profile.
