Here is the progress Dubai based Business Leader Chris Whitehouse, has made within his first 6 months inside Built To Last.โ
โJust wanted to share a few reflections from my first six months in BTL. Now, I wasnโt particularly happy with how I looked, thought I ate okay, thought I trained okay, but my body shape wasnโt good. Wasnโt giving me the confidence I should have and what Iโve achieved over the last five or six months on the program has certainly taken me by surprise.
Iโve shown Iโve got the willpower to succeed eating well, how I train. The quality of the workouts, the variety to really push myself on my own, which I thought without a PT, I wouldnโt be able to and after six months now have dealt with half the seasons of the year have dealt with being away in the summer and certainly things are starting to normalize and donโt feel like I want to die at this point.
It just feels like this is how I should eat, this is how I should exercise, this is my routine. Dealing with holidays, dealing with eating out and other social situations, always getting steps in and add all those together and Iโve managed to lose nearly 20 kilos and I have never been in the sort of shape that I am in now for my whole life.
Iโm just getting down to now my university weight, but I think physically Iโm a lot happier with where I am now and itโs giving me the confidence at work, home, energies through the roof compared to what it was. The level of exercise we do on the program actually generates energy. My decision making is much better at work, at home, and I think people are seeing a better side of me and certainly my family are benefiting from the energy levels.
And certainly my kids, I think on the role modeling and the activity that I can do with them. And Iโve just noticed Iโve, Iโve just done a rugby tournament for the first time in six months and how I could get around the pitch compared to six months ago is vastly different. Yeah, Iโve really noticed it now in myself and overall the quality of life from a number of different angles has really improved. So Iโm excited about where this goes next as we head towards a maintenance phase, building a few more calories into how I operate. Although, as I said, I donโt feel hungry at all, but interesting to see what, what comes next, what my next milestones are really pleased with how itโs gone.
I think for anybody that is wondering whether to join this, I never thought I would get to the sort of body I have now. And I think thereโs more to come. The coaches are great and really lean on them, right? Thatโs what theyโre there for. Theyโve got the experience, theyโve got the solutions, and itโs how we shortcut those to get the best results for all of us.
And I look forward to meeting you all in the November BTL event in London.โ
