"As a Physician, I know the importance of being healthy and fit – I also know how difficult it can be to realize that goal. Despite my years of training in medicine and my clinical experience with the consequences of unhealthy lifestyles, I realized three years ago just how unhealthy I had become myself.
My cholesterol and blood pressure were certainly higher than they should be, my endurance even in everyday tasks was not good, and I had put on nearly 40 pounds since collage. It was getting hard to hide my “spare tire” even under my lab coat, and I certainly couldn’t hide it from my wife. I knew I needed to take control of my health both for personal reasons and to set a good example for my patients.
I headed straight to my local gym and got on a weight lifting routine I remembered from high school. I did great – for about two weeks until my motivation started to go. A few things came up at work…then at home…then there were plans with friends…then I needed to start my exercise program over again.
This time I enlisted the help of a friend who also needed to get in shape. We’d be training partners to help keep each other motivated, and it would be more fun to train with a friend. We started over and it worked pretty well for the first month – then I just lost my motivation again. This was going to be much harder than I remembered from high school!
A year ago I heard about Joe and Body by Design from one of the doctors I work with. He had been training with Joe and had also referred patients.
I had never worked with a trainer before but as it turned out it was exactly what I needed! they didn’t just train my body, they trained my mind to stay motivated to be fit every day of my life. That motivation has made all the difference to me.
I’ve trained regularly now for three days a week for a year. So far I’ve lost nearly 40 pounds of fat while gaining 16 pounds of lean muscle…and I’ve never looked or felt better! My patients have definitely noticed the difference and I’m thrilled that some of them now consider me their motivation to get fit. My wife says she still can’t believe the change in me, and she’s been so impressed she’s training with Joe now too!
