MY PERSONAL TESTIMONIAL!
I recently followed the basic principles set out in this programme and achieved some amazing results over a short 40 day period of time. My baseline fitness improved and it has left me feeling both motivated and energised. I also managed to lose almost a quarter of my body fat and lost 5 cm from my waistline by following the principles we have set out in the Naked Athlete ’40 Day Body’ programme. What’s more, I have a history of heart disease in my family and my cholesterol levels are monitored regularly. By following the principles set out in the nutrition plan, my lipid profile is the best it has been for over 15 years. My total and LDL cholesterol (the bad one!) levels are at an all-time low and my HDL cholesterol (the good one!) levels are higher than ever before. Brilliant!
Having a demanding job with lots of travelling, along with two young children, I was initially concerned whether or not I could commit myself fully to the programme. This was quickly dispelled because the programme is written in such a prescriptive and simple format, I found that I could easily fit it into my daily life as I did not have to think too much about it.
I really liked the fact that I did not have to restrict my calorie intake as starvation diets are not for me! On the contrary, I am eating more good wholesome foods than ever before and I am easily maintaining a new leaner body by sticking to the principles the programme has taught me.
This programme certainly does not involve spending hours and hours slogging away in the gym as it follows the concept of minimal effective dose (MED). That is doing the minimum amount of work to achieve the best results.
As for the cold water, well that’s something I thought I could never do as getting into a 29 degrees heated pool with my kids used to be a challenge! Anyway, the programme taught me how to prepare for the cold and I have to say I found this to be the most empowering part. I cannot describe how great it feels to overcome my fears and take on the cold. The feeling after each CT session was amazing; you will have to try it to find out yourself.
The Naked Athlete 40 Day Body programme will provide you with some amazing results over a short period of time, but it is much more than that. It will also provide you with the knowledge and tools to ensure that the gains made are sustainable.
