Amazing Fat Loss Transformation: Cardio Queen Sees Light of Day!
The story I am about to share with you is an all too common story. It is a client who came to me because she was frustrated that her body was holding on to so much fat, despite the fact that she was doing endless amounts of cardio and trying to eat healthy. After sitting down with her and analyzing her exercise and eating habits, it became clear that she was eating away her muscle with her endless cardio and very low calorie diets. My recommendations to her was to consume much more lean protein and stop all long distance cardio and instead weight train 3X per week for 45 minutes, do 20 minutes of high intensity cardio 2X per week, and eat more lean protein and supplement with protein drinks.
She took my advice and in the past year has completely transformed her body. One of the things that set her apart, was her work ethic and intensity in the gym. She wasn’t afraid to work hard, sweat, and even let out some soft grunts. At one point she told me to make her puke, so I did… TWICE! When she started to workout she wasn’t able to even do one pushup! How things can change in only a year!
Here is her story in her own words!

“Everyone has heard of the “Freshman 15;” well, I apparently decided to take it a step further and experienced something closer to the “Freshmen 20!” But I didn’t stop there, over the next few years, I continued to gain more weight. Even after college, the weight continued to pile on, reaching an all-time high for me of 149lbs. During this time, I was quite the “Cardio Queen.” I would spend from 1.5 to 2 hours/day, 3-4 days/week doing any variety of cardio (treadmill, bike, elliptical, stair climber). This wasn’t exactly high-intensity cardio, either (obviously, I would not be able to keep that up for 1.5-2 hours!). Despite my numerous hours at the gym, engaged in my Cardio Queen activities, I couldn’t lose any weight…and more specifically, couldn’t lose any fat!
After years of frustration and low self-esteem, I signed up for Dustin’s Core Class. I always thought I had a strong core, after all I could do countless crunches! Boy, was I wrong! Dustin’s class taught me how weak I really was…core and all. After a month of Core Class, I noticed my body was getting stronger, but I wanted to kick it up a notch. I signed up for small group personal training. Before my first session with Dustin, he took my body fat, which surprised me at 25%. I was shocked at how high it was, and I couldn’t help but wonder what it was before I started Core Class! More on Amazing Fat Loss Transformation: Cardio Queen Sees Light of Day!

I have had the privilege of small group personal training Gina and her family for close to two years now. Gina has created one of the fittest bodies that I have encountered when training hundreds of moms. She is my only female client to have bench pressed her own weight (she benched 130 lbs) Not only does Gina take care of her 4 kids, but also has a high stress job taking care of $100’s of millions in inventory. Gina has learned to balance, work, friends, family, and health very well!
What I believe sets Gina apart from 99% of men and women out there fitness wise, is her mental toughness. Sometimes I will try to ”break” her, meaning I will make her do an incredible amount of work without resting, I have NEVER heard her complain or moan about something being too tough. I think her most common used phrase is “What’s Next?” Gina’s willingness to face a challenge head on has shaped her body and her life dramatically.
