Personal Trainer

Daniel tries going to the gym in his spare time, as much as his multi-business obligations allow him. In late February 2018, he accepted to a 99-day fitness challenge from one of his best friends. He began working out almost every single day but didn’t change his diet a lot, only adding a little more of vegetables.

In 99 days, Daniel went from 78 kg to 73.5 kg and got back his health and endurance. This short-term goal motivated him to stick to a similar workout routine so that he never gets back to his old weight. For that reason, he incorporated 1-hour intense sessions in the afternoon a few times a week.
