| Forty-three-year-old Jeff Hurley first came to
One On One when his wife Rosann bought him a
membership for his birthday "It was the best gift she ever gave me," says Jeff, who desperately wanted to get back into shape and wasn't seeing any results working out at home. He wanted to lose the extra weight, most of which was centered on his midsection. This additional weight was creating lower back pain, making him lethargic and, even worse, slow on the ice! Jeff missed lifting weights and was ready to get started with a trainer in a gym environment. His original goal was to get back to 165 pounds; now it's 160 pounds! "My trainer, Aletha, kept me going," says Jeff. "The first month was the hardest, but she showed me different variations of the same exercises to keep each workout fresh." Jeff appreciated Aletha's honest answers to his questions on training, new exercises, and dietary supplements, such as energy drinks, protein bars, and vitamins. "She gave me healthy eating tips to prepare for hockey tournaments and travelling, which I do a lot of for work," says Jeff, who considers it challenging to find hotels with good workout equipment and healthy food. Overall, his biggest challenges included learning how much to eat and what to eat, and listening to his body. "I had to learn to truly rest when my body told me it was tired." Jeff currently does weights three days a week and cardio seven days a week (four of which are high impact). His cardio includes three hockey games, one day on the treadmill or mountain bike and 30- to 60-minute walks with their dogs, every day! "I have made exercise a priority," he says. "My company encourages physical activity, as they recognize the long-term benefit of a healthy, energetic workforce." "My family and friends have noticed a huge difference in me, both physically and in my attitude," says the more positive, energetic Jeff. So far, Jeff has lost 15 pounds, more than three inches off his waist, and his body fat has dropped from 21.9 per cent to 17.4 per cent. "I would like to see more muscle definition and increase my muscle mass," says a determined Jeff. "I'd also like to see my abs!" |
