Personal training isn’t always about losing weight or building a phenomenal physique, and here at Mark Jensen Fitness, nothing motivates us more than seeing amazing client transformations.
Our latest client transformation is a client who, last Christmas, was diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease. She was in a wheelchair for a number of weeks and receiving medication from a GP on a weekly basis. Now, her injection doses are at zero.
Degenerative Disc Disease is when the changes that take place on the discs of your spine cause pain. Your spinal disks act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae (bones) of your spine. These are what help your back stay flexible so that you can bend and twist. As you can see in the first photo of the X-ray, the discs on her back are very close. This can end up causing significant nerve damage.
Over the past five weeks, we’ve worked closely with our client’s posterior chain, strengthening the muscles in her back, glutes, and hamstrings. Now, look at the second photo. The transformation is phenomenal! She’s also lost over a stone in five weeks….
If anyone has had a similar problem to our client, you probably think you can’t exercise. In fact, this is the worst thing you can do.
We say: don’t be afraid of exercise!
All you need to do is to hire the right coach. Whether our client’s goal is to lose weight, build muscle or just improve their overall physical and mental health, we always make sure to keep on track of their progress so that they can be proud of their achievements.
Contact us today, and you’ll be amazed at the results you can achieve.
