Matt Perran
My
journey began out of a desire to better myself. I had long
since let myself grow increasingly out of shape. I was
eating poorly, had very few physical activities in my life,
and have been a smoker for years. I used to get winded
running the stairs in my office! As my son’s first birthday
approached I took a look at myself and realized that I
wanted to make some changes.
I wanted to regain my
health and fitness levels from years ago so that I could
enjoy the upcoming years with my son. I was uncertain how to
attain my goals and thought the Total Body Challenge would
give me the motivation I needed. It turns out that I was
right, the Total Body Challenge provided me with exactly the
type of motivation I needed to get into the best shape I’ve
been in since my early twenties.
I am a naturally
competitive person and watching the other Challenge
participants working hard on their own goals further
motivated me each week. After some time I realized that I
craved my morning workouts, and as much I complained about
them, I looked forward to our Saturday group workouts. They
made me work harder than I would have ever pushed myself on
my own, and although I felt like I was dying during them, I
went home describing to my wife how good I felt afterwards.
I have never been one to do any type of cardiovascular
exercise; it was the Body Challenge that forced me to do
cardio and now I have learned to make it a part of my life.
The desire to make cardiovascular exercise a part of my life
is by far what pleases me most.
During this challenge
I have learned life habits that I will be able to maintain
for years to come. I have seen greater gains than I expected
at the beginning. With USA Elite Trainers diet and exercise
programs, I have learned what to eat, when to eat it, and
how to exercise properly and effectively. I have made cardio
part of my weekly routine and developed a repeatable routine
that I know I can carry into the future. Besides the obvious
physical changes to my body, I feel better, I’m more
energetic and attentive, and I sleep better at night. To say
that I am pleased is an understatement, and I can’t wait to
continue my journey!
