CLIENT PROGRESS UPDATE
4 months with Mike
Mike came to me with his fiancΓ© Nikki looking for a PT specialising in running. They want to work up to do some park runs when they go to New Zealand and Australia in November.
Mike previously had an online PT so thought he knew how to do most exercises but turns out he didn't... He was flying through reps and didn't have the correct form. We have worked on the correct technique and form and he's now started to feel it, get results and see change.
They come 3x a week where we do an upper body weights, lower body weights and circuits session.
The first session Mike couldn't even complete it as he was that unfit. He's now managed 500m on the ski erg and rower going back to back. Couldn't have imagined doing that on the first session!
They have started doing couch to 5k and swimming once a week outside of our sessions. Upped the daily steps since they both work a desk job and Ralph the dog helps them! π
Mike was snacking and has completely changed his diet. Making sure all meals are cooked from scratch, getting more protein, stopping the snacking and getting plenty of fruit and veg in.
Clothes are fitting a lot better. More confident and can go the gym independently outside of sessions to do weights or set up a circuit.
Still a long way to go, and moving in the right direction! Love seeing the progress and change each week. Keep up the hard work.
Be ready for those park runs in November! πββοΈπͺπββοΈ
