After the first 2 months of personal training with me (I train her and her daughter together -- the daughter does more weight and longer reps, and they both end up equally worn out after each session), she had lost 6 inches everywhere. She had not lost weight, but she had put on about 2 pounds of lean muscle. Her strength and excitement for regular exercise had grown, but she hadn't changed her diet much. She soon fell ill for a while and backslid on the exercise. Regardless, she didn't gain fat because her metabolism had been charged up through regular exercise.
It has now been a little over 4 months of training, and she has lost about 12 inches all over her body. She is lifting heavier weights, maintaining a higher energy level throughout the session, walking faster on her own during the week, and discussing dietary changes with me more often. Last week I got her to do some barbell work. She was hesitant to veer away from the normal style of workouts that I had been doing with her. Yet, now that we have broken through and changed not only her eating habits and exercise habits but her outlook on pushing herself, she eventually accepted the challenge.
My client asked me to film her doing some barbell exercises, so she could brag to all of her friends, and this is what I shot. Take a look at that smile!
