This week my shout out goes to Paul Hull.
I’ve actually known Paul for a long time and when he called me in February and said that he needed to get into shape for his wedding I had my reservations.
Having worked with Paul as a labourer whilst studying I was aware of his unhealthy lifestyle and that he enjoyed the odd beer or two…
When Paul reported to me back in February its fair to say he was in bad shape.
Weighing in at in excess of seventeen and a half stone, and with a BMI that put him in a morbidly obese category, I made it clear to Paul that if he wanted to work with me he had to change his lifestyle. I realised that Paul initially had some reservations but these were soon put to rest after a couple of simple exercises proved quite how unfit he was.
Since that first session Paul has made the most incredible changes.
By following my recommendations, Paul has lost more than three and a half stone. His improvements in strength, flexibility and general fitness have been astounding.
Not only did he look great on his wedding day, but also in the lull that followed such a fantastic day he made great use of his time, and set his sights on running a 10k.
This weekend, after eight weeks of training, Paul competed in his first 10k in the most treacherous of conditions and even beat his target time by two and a half minutes to finish in 57minutes.
I’m incredibly proud of Paul’s effort and can’t wait to see him get his feet muddy in the grim in December. In the meantime I will keep kicking his ass on the boxing and he will no doubt continue to claim that I quit before he did J
Congratulations Paul and keep up the good work!
