Zealous training has been a lifesaver for me. I have always enjoyed working out, but when I became pregnant with my twins I had some early complications that kept me from doing anything more than slow walks for the duration of the pregnancy. My pregnancy weight peaked at 186 lbs at 39 weeks and went to 166 immediately after I had the babies. I had 33 lbs to lose and not a lot of motivation. I began doing workouts with Mike and he was able to target all the “problem” areas as well as get me motivated and back to enjoying work outs. He pushes you past what you think you can handle, but it is just right for what your body can handle. Now that I know how to push beyond what I think are my limits, I’ve become mentally stronger and even completed the Spartan Beast, which is a 13 mile race with 27 hard obstacles and 5 mountains to hike up and down. I had the endurance, strength and mental focus to actually enjoy myself during such an intense race. I am back to my normal weight of 133 and am very grateful to Mike and his expertise for helping me get there.
