Tell me if you can relate to this. For years, I couldn’t even look in the mirror as I was so upset by the way I looked. I would brush my teeth and look down, frustrated by the way I looked. I was always nervous to take my shirt off in public and disappointed by the dad bod I had so successfully achieved. I was determined to change this. Now as I am in my 40's I am committed to placing myself in the driver seat of my life!
Tell if you can also relate to this? You go to the gym and never see significant change. You look around the gym, discouraged thinking you will never look like the others in the gym. I would go to the gym 4-5 X a week and never see much progress. I even had friends tell me I would never achieve my dream body.
You think, its genetics, I will never look that way, That will never be me. But how things have changed. Over the last few months I have been on a Transformation journey that is helping me build my dream physique, boosting my confidence and supporting my mental health.
After years of struggling and finally finding success, I've compiled my top tips for anyone looking to transform their body and overall health.
Follow along with my YOU TUBE channel and I roll out a new series documenting my transformation.
