getting results

Paul Peroy

Paul has been part of the fitness industry since he left school, so being sedentary definantely wasn’t the issue here. Always active he was one of the lucky few who could eat whatever he wanted and remain a constant weight. "Now that I am ummm lets say above 30 hahahahaha heading closer towards the other decade" his body was starting to change…

"It was the strangest thing, since childhood, I’ve never worried about my weight. So it was time to put all those years of fitness know how to practice and I began my road to the new me..."

Firstly he analyzed what he was doing, keeping a diary of what he was eating, when he was exercising and at what intensity and duration. "This took 2 weeks so I could look for any patterns. I was working out quite a bit too, but I was eating way too much..."

Paul then began a smart eating plan, taking it back to basics. Looking at portion sizes and cutting out all those special treats. "It really wasn’t brain surgery, I knew what I should be eating and how much, I just like to pretend I don’t know why I have put on weight." Allowing himself a whole day off his eating plan, kept him on track through the week, "I didn’t go crazy, it’s not like I ate from the minute I woke till I slept, I just had the foods I absolutely craved and wouldn’t allow myself through the week."

"I also increased the level of my training. It’s not like I had the time to add to my workouts", with a full time job, family commitments and life we can’t spend all our waking hours exercising. So I made sure the time I spent at the gym was effective. I love BODYPUMP, so I decided I could add weights, which I hadn’t increased in years. I was surprised how quickly I coped with the bigger weights so I increased them several times in the 2 months. I also made sure that in my cardio work outs I put in 110% so I really worked to my potential, finding new limits week after week in BODYSTEP, ABT and FATBUSTER. Also, making sure I participated in more Pilates and stretching to balance out my regime".

Well, it paid off and within 8 weeks Paul lost 14kgs. He has continued losing body fat and increasing muscle mass which is exactly what he wants. " I want to be comfortable by the pool or at the beach and I haven’t finished yet. I plan to keep getting fitter and stronger than ever before so when I hit fo--y (I can’t say it) I look and feel better than ever before.

Great work Paul you’re looking great, and the best thing about it is, you have inspired all the participants in your class to work that little bit harder and get that little bit fitter, healthier and sexier along with you. There is nothing more motivating than working out with someone that is achieving results…
