What workout milestones have you accomplished since you started IPT?
There have been so many milestones since starting IPT. When I started at 57 years old, I never expected to be pushing weights like I do now. I never expected to gain strength and tone and lose the weight I have lost. As I near my initial goal weight, I am shooting to lose an additional 10 pounds. I feel stronger with much more endurance and significantly less pain. I was taking up to 6 ibuprofen daily for joint pain prior to working out. Now I rarely need it, despite having arthritis!
Are there any notable habit changes you’ve made since starting with IPT?
I have made so many habit changes that have become life long changes now. I eat smaller, healthier portions and feel satiated. I can eat out and go on vacations and NOT gain weight. I even worked out on my last vacation.
Is there anything special that you like/love about IPT?
I love the support and encouragement that I receive from everyone at IPT. The energy level is engaging even on my most exhausted days. I am so thankful for Isaac, who walked every step to success with me. He set me on the path and tweaked my program in a way that has set me on a constant path of success. He continues to take time to encourage me and praise my successes even though he is no longer my personal coach. He is intentional and always puts a smile on my face with his positive remarks.
What advice or motivation would you give other clients/members when it comes to health and fitness?
Stay consistent. There are no short cuts. It takes hard work and commitment but it can be done! I had all but given up on being fit at my age and starting weight. But I never miss a workout, no excuses! And now all I can see are my goals. Stay forward facing and keep going!
