LEAN BODY TRANSFORMATION OF THE WEEK MOTIVATION
Doyle Hayes 20 lbs & 7.5% Body Fat

"When I started with the weights used on my exercises I was physically challenged. But over time with the new developed strength I was able to lift the heavier and smarter, which in turn allowed me to achieve my new goals physically and emotionally. After time, my stamina had skyrocketed, allowing me to work beyond my initial workout schedule. My hard work and commitment made it possible for me to taste success and its sweet flavor. Now I know what the saying: "You Reap What You Sow" means! I am indeed proud of all that I have accomplished in my 12-week challenge and plan on taking my accomplishments and new abilities to an all-new level in the future. Another thing that really proved my physical conditioning was when I let some younger people occasionally workout with me and they couldn’t keep up with me. What more can I say? During my 12-week challenge I surpassed all of my goals that I had set out to accomplish. I dropped 20 pounds (5 pounds more than projected) I dropped 5 pants sizes from 36" & 38" to 32" Dropped 5.5 Inches from my waist (1.5 Inches more than projected) Dropped 7.5% body fat, from 23.6% to 16.1% (2.5% more than projected) My energy level and self-confidence – UNBELIEVABLE!"
