Jeff's Weight Loss Story!
When did you become unhappy with your weight?
When I noticed myself getting tired playing sports and playing
with my kids.
What made you decide to lose weight?
When I saw a picture of myself in a swimming suit and realized
how overweight I had become.
What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?
I exercised, stopped drinking as much alcohol and paid attention
to what I ate.
What was most challenging about losing weight?
Eating right. I still cheat more than I should.
How long did it take you to start to see results?
About 2 weeks.
How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?
About 4 months.
How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do
it?
I have kept the weight off for about 8 months now. I lift about
3-5 days a week and do cardio about 2-3 days a week.
How has your life changed now that you've lost weight?
I just have more energy, higher self esteem and I'm much happier.
How did ShapeFit help you reach your weight loss goals?
ShapeFit helped me learn basically everything I needed to know
since I couldn't afford a trainer. I knew nothing about exercise
or diet when I started. I didn't know how to eat right, I didn't
how important lifting weights was. I was just doing cardio for
a while and then I found ShapeFit.com and it helped me learn when
and how to lift properly, how to eat properly and the most effective
ways to do things. ShapeFit is filled with very useful information.

Jeff's Weight Loss Workouts!
Weight Training:
I switch between circuit training 3 days a week and lifting heavy
5 days a week:
Monday: Chest
Tuesday: Back
Wednesday: Legs
Thursday: Shoulders
Friday: Arms
Cardiovascular:
At first I did cardio 5-6 days a week. I would switch between
treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike and jumping rope. Now I
do cardio about 2-3 days a week and it's all HIIT
for 20-30 minutes. HIIT is where I spend 30 seconds at a steady
pace and then 30 seconds to 1 minute as hard as I can go.
