Drop The Hammer Fitness will help you "Drop The Hammer!" When you need certified personal training or nutritional therapy from someone who has been in your shoes and survived and thrived, then you need to Drop The Hammer! I was sedentary, I ate and drank too much, I kept gaining weight, and my blood pressure was climbing. I knew from my family history that I was going to become a Type II diabetic, have heart disease and/or cancer, or have a stroke within the next five years. At the time, I weighed 215 with 33% body fat. I started working out twice a week, and eventually expanded that to five days a week. I didn't change any of my other habits yet, so I actually gained five more pounds over the next year. The only thing that improved was my cardiovascular fitness and my blood pressure. l I started tracking all of my food and drinks which finally opened my eyes. I began a daily habit of tracking every single calorie, using an app that helped me calculate my daily calorie need to drop 1-1/2 pounds a week. Over the next ten months, I got down to 155 pounds and 16% body fat. Here's where the real work began. That's where you weigh what you should but you're carrying around too much fat. I began lifting weights three days a week and doing cardio another three days. I shifted my food focus to protein, with the calories needed to maintain my weight. Over the next year, I gained ten pounds of muscle and lost five pounds of fat. I'm now 160 pounds at 11% body fat. I set a goal and I got there. What are your goals? Yours will be different than mine and different than everyone else. We will sit down and discuss where you are now and where you want to be. I will work with you until you reach your goals and keep working with you to maintain. Maintenance is just as important so you don't slide backwards. I know all about plateaus and how to beat them. If you are truly ready for a change but don't know where to start, give me a call. We will start together.
