Why I Got Started
dot

I was always involved in athletics and really enjoyed gym as a way to be involved in physical activity and just wanted to get that athletic body I once had back. I attempted for a while to do it own my own and got some good results, however I did not keep my diet in check. It just seemed that I was not getting to my goal.

I decided to enter a fitness modeling contest late in 2009, however I had to pull out due to personal issues and after training for a couple of months it was put on hold. It became frustrating for me.

So after coming back after the holidays, I wanted to pursue some fitness modeling for the new year. I decided that it's now or never and went after it. I knew it wasn't going to happen overnight, but I was willing to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve the body that I wanted to have.

How I Did It

I had to make a change and it was going to take dedication, sacrifice and a little sweat. I knew if I stayed focused I would see changes I would be proud of.

After looking at some impressive resumes in the fitness industry, I decided to invest in some online training with the most ripped and top fitness model in the business right now Obi Obadike. I went to his website and his credentials are second to none.

I basically contacted him and after a few emails back and forth, it was a done deal. I went ahead and invested in his workout and diet program so I could get ripped in 12 weeks. It was by far the best thing I ever did, because not only was I in good hands but it kept me in line.

I was able to focus and he was there for any assistance that I needed. Each week I had to report my weight to see where I was at. When I started to see results not only did I want to reach my goal in 12 weeks but I actually wanted to do it in 8 weeks. So after 8 weeks of a very hard strength training program and diet, I achieved it. My original goal was 12 weeks, but I beat it by 4 weeks early and it was the best feeling.

I also did my photo shoot recently and will be appearing in World Physique Magazine as their May Inspirational, coming out in a summer edition.

Suggestions For Others
dot

I would suggest to any one out there that if you want something, go after it. You have to be mentally focused. Diet is the key and if you can't keep it in check you defeat the purpose of your hard work. Stay positive as results will come but only in time. I would also consider hiring a well respected fitness trainer to write a diet and workout plan if you believe this would help you achieve your goal - it's worth every penny.
