TEAM STRONG GIRLS Success Story – Lana K.

Published by

I am so proud of the Lana K’s fitness journey who came to me last year looking to lean out and tighten up. She had already lost an incredible 60 lbs on her own through cardio and conditioning classes (wowee!!!) but, as all things go with too much cardio, her progress eventually came to a halt. Unfortunately Lana tried to continue through by doing even more cardio and conditioning only to find herself spinning her wheels with a lack of progress, finding herself more tired than usual, and (gasp) finding herself even putting on weight. Lana then found herself trying a number of different diet strategies (even at one time going Vegetarian) to no avail…even causing more weight gain. When we started working together I limited the amount of cardio she was doing (by a lot), increased her food intake (by a lot), and had her focus more on Weight Training for the purpose of increasing lean muscle rather than waste it away with cardiovascular activity. By taking a more controlled approach to her goals, …

A sneak peak of Lana K’s journey to weight loss accomplishment all the way up to her debut on the stage in Figure category where she placed 2nd in her very first show!!! This STRONG GIRL also participated in the IDFA Transformation challenge and I couldn’t help but tear when they read her story to the audience.

As an overweight child I lacked confidence, insecurity, had feelings of inadequacy, and extremely low self-esteem which led to social withdrawal. I turned to food to fill the void. Over the years, I also tried many different yo-yo diets. While I had some successes, I remained overweight and struggled with an unhealthy relationship with food. At my University graduation I was more than 220lbs. I couldn’t stand to look at myself anymore and returned to the gym. Seeing a woman 20 years older than me easily handling a step class, when I was panting just 20 minutes in, it made me realize something had to …

Published by

Here’s some Friday Motivation as we head into Olympia weekend. I’m so excited to share Lana K’s jaw dropping progress to date! She has currently dropped 20 lbs and shredded off 7 inches around her belly button and 3 inches around her hips. The best news is we are still going strong and tightening up like crazy as we prepare her for her debut on the IDFA stage in November. Even better, her last few biweekly reports have been nothing short of flawless execution. When my STRONG GIRLS embrace the fitness lifestyle and become physique conscious, it makes me so proud knowing that our work together is more than just a physical transformation. Lana came to me looking to lean out despite being incredibly active in sports, exercise, and is also a Fitness Instructor so as we began to dial everything in all of the wonderful muscle that she carries began to reveal itself. I can’t wait until we are showing off the final package on stage. She was even worried about losing some muscle. …
