1. Why did you decide to transform?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I was tired of getting bullied because of my body fat. One day, I decided that I will change myself and shun this bullying. That’s how my transformation journey started.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. How did you accomplish your goals?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

My journey began during the lockdown of 2020. I started working out at home with just the basics. I tried to do as many push-ups and pull ups as I could, with the aim to increase the number of repetitions with time. Started with just 50 push ups and 20 pull ups and 30 minutes of skipping. Eventually, as the lockdown lifted, I joined a gym and started doing weight training 5 times a week. Along with this, I got my diet on point by restricting the calories and increasing the amount of protein.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Training routine that helped you achieve your goals?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I followed a 5-day weight training split which looked like this,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    \r\n
  • Monday: chest\u00a0<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
  • Tuesday: back\u00a0<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
  • Wednesday: shoulders<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
  • Thursday: rest<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
  • Friday: legs<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
  • Saturday: arms<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
  • Sunday: rest<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Along with this, I made sure that I hit 10-15k steps daily by walking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    4. Which supplements did you take?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    I used whey protein isolate as a food supplement in my journey to fulfill my daily protein requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    5. What challenges did you face during your transformation?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    It used to get very difficult at times to just stick with the consistency of diet. I had to avoid social gatherings and say no a lot of times to people because of my routine. As a student, it was very difficult to afford high-quality nutrition but I made some sacrifices to get everything which was needed.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    In the end, all my efforts were worth it because today I am in the best shape ever and am proud of myself for putting my goals above the short-term pleasures!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    6. Suggestion for future transformers.<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    My only suggestion to all the people who want to transform is to just start. Yes, starting the process is the most important part. It’s okay to not do everything perfectly when you are starting out. You will get everything right eventually. Get your diet and training right and stick to the routine!<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"author":192,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","transformation_tag":[12,14,13],"class_list":{"0":"post-40729","1":"transformation","2":"type-transformation","3":"status-publish","5":"transformation_tag-fat-loss","6":"transformation_tag-transformation","7":"transformation_tag-weight-loss","8":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nShunning Bullies, Shining Bright: Umer\u2019s Story - HealthKart<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Read the blog to learn how Umer Belal Faizi adhered to the phrase \u2018Shunning Bullies, Shining Bright\u2019.
