It's with great excitement that we bring you this blog about our friend & client, Tony from Michigan. This blog serves to chronicle his past & current training. His goal is to reach a healthy body fat score of 15% or lower, which is a value associated with significantly lowered risk for physical disorders. (We've recommended a body fat loss of 1% weekly.)"It feels amazing to be this close to my goal!"

"Tony used to expend this energy into wishing he was getting fit. Now, he's actually doing it -- in a big, yet safe, way!" - Perfect Personal Training
Then, Tony reduced his PPT training schedule to less than once weekly, and his progress reflected it. From September through March, with a schedule of only 2-3 PPT sessions per month, Tony's bodyweight was still over 190 lbs and wasn't coming down. His reduced training schedule had sadly led to a frustrating plateau... And, while he was much healthier than he was before he began training originally, he'd decided that it was now time to return to a regular 3-day per week training schedule with Perfect Personal Training. After months of staying stagnant, he was now re-focused, and finally ready to fully reach his goal of 15% body fat once and for all. His new and dramatic successes since returning to this vigorous, difficult schedule, are below:Apr 23rd, 2010

Back on track with exciting weight loss of nearly 13 lbs in four weeks!

With his return to a 3-day per week schedule, Tony has now reached his best body fat score to date! His goal of 15%, which is a statistically ideal score for a male his age, is now less than 6% away!

ReplyDeleteGo, Tony!
Way to go Tony! I know how hard it is to stick with a training program. It does certainly help to have a goal in mind. Keep up the good work...Outs.

Wow! Awesome job, Tony!! I'm gonna have to start calling you Toner instead. Miss you <3 Keep up the good work! =)
ReplyDeleteThe great thing about working with Tony is that he understandstands the "calories in / calories out" rule very well. He has stuck with some very particular caloric restrictions that give him just the right amounts of proteins, fats, and carbs each day, while we burn just the right amount of calories through strength and cardiovascular work. Since his recent return to to a regular 3-day training schedule, he has been one of Perfect Personal Training's most focused, determined clients, and his achievements are really showing it.
ReplyDeletei might have to try this. i used new you fitness and they came to my apartment also but i didnt get results. just stayed fat for months. im glad your doing so much better.
ReplyDeleteTony, that's amazing! This really is a life-style change. It can be difficult to get back in the boat once you're out, but YOU DID IT! Looks like I might have to ask you for some pointers (I'm totally not joking). I miss you and the choir! I plan to see you all very soon and look forward to seeing the "new" you. Keep up the awesome work!!
ReplyDeleteTony, I knew there was something different about you! Thought it was just the longer hair. Congradulations and keep up the great work. Do it while you are younger. It gets harder the older you get.
