Hello Athletes and Warriors! Having grown up with a father who was a WWII and Korean War Vet, I have always had a special place in my heart for all of our military personnel. So when I saw this transformation I had to share it with you. May it inspire you to go further on your fitness journey!

Jake Did Amazing.. I mean look at those 6 Pack Abs!!! In 12 Weeks we changed what he was doing from before and he put the work in, that mixed with a new way of eating got him in Amazing Shape.. Congrats Jake!!
Back story: An old marine that has always prided myself in being fit/ in shape. I am a fitness enthusiast and have been working out for over 20 years. Although I worked out 5-6 times a week I wasn’t getting the benefits that I had in my youth. As I close in on 40, I noticed I was getting a gut and my pecs were no more, more like man boobs. Often felt like I was spinning my wheels and felt lost on my fitness goals. I was tired of feeling out of shape, even though I worked out like a mad man every day. I remember in my 20’s looking at older friends from the gym that worked out every day but stayed the same or regressed. I would think to myself, why waste the time/ sleep every morning (I work out at 0430 most mornings) if you are not getting results. As I looked at myself in the mirror, I had become that person. I felt I needed a structured diet, and a workout plan that would push me in the gym and get me back in shape.
When I sat down and looked at the diet, I thought there was no way I could eat that much food and lose weight/ body fat. My skepticism quickly dissolved. Within the first few days I started to feel better, more energy and drive to stay on track. As the days turned into weeks it was exciting to see the changes that were being made with my wife and I. I could fit into clothes that I hadn’t been able to in years and was a lot less self-conscious about some of the clothing I was wearing.
After looking at the workouts, I wasn’t sure about the higher reps and lower weights. I had fallen in the lower reps/ heavier weights mentality that most men do. It didn’t take me long to get over that mentality the first week of workouts I felt burns, and satisfaction from a good workout that I hadn’t felt in a long time. The work outs were challenging and pushed me in the gym, I enjoyed trying to do one more rep or more weight than I did the previous week. Hitch fit changes up the workouts every 4 weeks so it kept it fresh and fun.
The biggest key for me to help accomplish my goal was having my wife with me during the journey. Teamwork. We kept each other in check and motivated each other when needed. Food prep and workout planning was also key. We often cooked chicken, turkey on Sundays that we could take with us during the week. We planned out our day each morning on what we would eat, made those foods, and took them with us in Tupperware each day. What’s next for me is to continue to live the clean eating/ clean living lifestyle. I don’t have any specific goals other than to continue to try and getter better every day. I am competing in a sprint triathlon this summer and looking forward to being in the best possible shape for the summer. I haven’t felt this Good in a VERY long while. I would like to thank Micah and the Hitch Fit team in reigniting my wife’s and I fitness fire.
