MORE WORKOUTS AND BURPEES... MAN OF THE MONTH... PIYO LOVE!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

AS THE WEEK IS COMING TO A NEAR END AND THE "I LOVE BURPEES" CHALLENGE IS ALSO COMING TO AN END...  THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST CHALLENGE I'VE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED...  IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW...  ONLY RECENTLY I'VE TAKEN THE "BURPEES" SERIOUSLY...  I'VE BEEN AFRAID OF THEM FOR YEARS AND AS OF THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR...  I'VE DECIDED TO TAKE IT ON AND ADD IT TO MY DAILY WORKOUTS!!!

DON'T ASK ME WHY I WAITED SO LONG...  WHAT MATTERS IS I AM DOING IT NOW AND I'M PROGRESSING!!!

MY STATS:

BRADDA IOKEPA ALSO DOING THE "I LOVE BURPEES" CHALLENGE!!!

I HAVE THE HONOR TO HELP THIS MAN CHANGE HIS LIFESTYLE FOR THE BETTER.  I REMEMBER HIM COMING TO ME AND ASKED ME FOR HELP AND IN THE PAST HE HAS TRIED ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF WORKOUTS & DIET PROGRAMS...  EVEN THE "ATKINS"...  YES YOU READ CORRECTLY...  "ATKINS"...  IT DIDN'T LAST TOO LONG AND AS MOST PROGRAMS...  IT DOESN'T INVEST FOR A LIFETIME...  THEY ARE MOSTLY SHORT TERM GOALS AND OF COURSE...  QUICK MONEY TO GET OUT OF PEOPLE...  THOSE COMPANIES REALLY PISSES ME OFF...  BECAUSE NOT ARE THEY ONLY TAKING MONEY FROM THEM...  BUT ALSO TAKING THEIR LIVES AWAY!!!

ANYWAYS...  BACK TO MY STORY...  IOKEPA SAT ME DOWN AND EXPRESSES ME WHY HE WANTS MY HELP.  AFTER HEARING HIS STORY, 3 THINGS HE'S SHARED IS WHY I'VE DECIDED TO HELP...

IMPROVING HIS HEALTH FOR A LIFETIME

BEING THEIR FOR HIS FAMILY AND LOVED ONES...  ESPECIALLY HIS BABY DAUGHTER

AVOIDING OBESITY SYMPTOMS RESULTING TO POSSIBLE HOSPITALIZATION AND COSTLY MEDICAL CARE

A MONTH LATER...  HE'S DONE SOME AMAZING CHANGES AND HE'S FINALLY TRUSTED HIMSELF AND ME AS HIS PERSONAL COACH!!!  I COULD ON AND ON...  BUT I'M KEEPING IT SHORT AND LET HIS PROGRESS DO ALL THE TALKING.

I ALSO AM HELPING MY COUSIN IN O'AHU TOO!!!  I'LL SAVE ANOTHER DAY TO TALK ABOUT HER...  LOL!!!

MORE STATS:

90 BURPEES & SQUATS LATER...  BRING IT ON!!!

AND LOOK WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY!!!

MY "AWWWESOME" PIYO SHIRT FOR FINISHING THE "PIYO" PROGRAM!!!

I STRONGLY SUPPORT THIS PROGRAM 100% FOR ANYONE!!!

I'D LIKE TO TALK MORE BUT I GOTTA HIT THE SHOWERS AND HEAD TO WORK!!!

STAY TUNED FOR MORE EXCITING LIFE STORIES!!!
