Why did you decide to transform?
I was overweight since I was in 3rd grade, always bingeing on junk. By the time I was in 8th grade, I was around 105 kgs – yes, a 13 year old boy with this much weight. When I entered high school, I weighed around 131 kgs. By this time, I was used to getting bullied – I felt like I was on the edge. I even couldn’t find the confidence to play basketball – my favourite sport. The never-ending comments from bullies and relatives pushed me to finally decide to transform my body.
How did you accomplish your goals?
The first month was very tough. I did HIIT for 2 mins and I was completely breathless. I started again and this time I was motivated and disciplined. It was a new me after I joined gym and following a consistent routine got easier day by day.
Training routine that helped you achieve your goals
Monday: I started the week with chest compound with resistance band and HIIT
Tuesday: Shoulders compound with resistance band and HIIT
Wednesday: Kick boxing with HIIT and leg training
Thursday: Arms with core and HIIT
Friday: Tabata compound
Saturday: Yoga
Which supplements did you take?
I took Omega 3 capsules, Vitamin B12 capsules, and plant-based protein.
What challenges did you face during your transformation?
The hard part was not the exercise, it was the diet. I had the same diet for 6 months at the beginning of my journey. I avoided family gatherings and partying with friends but after 6 months I adopted the flexible diet method which helped me enjoy my favourite food once in a while.
The second problem I faced was staying consistent because it was difficult for the 1st month. It got a little less difficult in the 2nd month which turned into a habit later on.
Suggestion for future transformers
The only advice is – maintain a calorie deficit diet and do a little cardio everyday like skipping, cycling, running, swimming, etc. Moreover, it is important that you stay on a schedule, be disciplined, be serious about your goals, and most importantly – stay consistent.
