Diet–

Karma: She keeps it simple with small, meals that contain a good amount of protein spread throughout the day,

“Just figuring out how to balance calorie consumption and exercise was a large part of losing 25 Pounds!”

Karma has found it beneficial to cut out foods such as refined carbs but to still allow opportunities for treats.

-Alan: He likes to keep things balanced; though he also knows the importance of foods such as fruits and vegetables, being sure to keep a large portion of them in his diet. Dieting is about control, “Not too many potato chips!”

Workout Routine/Plan:

-Karma: Many of you may recognize Karma because she is here almost 5 times a week. She likes to mix things up by taking spin classes 3 days out of her workout week while doing weight training the other 2 days.

-Alan: He is here 3-4 times per week doing quite a bit of cardio on the treadmill or stationary bike. Working out is such a priority, Alan Actually schedules time to exercise during lunch.

-Karma and Alan both enjoy Ultimate Fitness for a variety of reasons such as the location, quality and  cleanliness of the club and of course the friendly members and staff.
