Lean Bodies Consulting Figure Competitor Testimonial

Well, I was going to wait until my site is all transitioned before updating this again, but I may as well just get back into it with some client testimonials. I started with Erik right after I competed in my 1st Figure competition. I trained and did my diet myself and after seeing the girls I knew I needed some help.

My diet changed as of today and he told me i MUST get the 2 hours of cardio in ... in addition, I have 15 minutes of step-ups ... to work the booty Where to begin? Do you realize my keyboard has dents from typing about these subjects? 15 minutes of step ups to work the booty? Who is this trainer? They belong in another industry. So what is the 15 minutes of step ups going to do to 'the booty'? Is it spot reduction cardio? Sure, of course that works... read more 14 comments
