Client Story · Hong Kong<\/div>\n

Gary was skinny-fat at 40.
He had no idea what losing body fat would do.<\/h1>\n

Gary turned 40 and simply wanted to get in shape. He ended up dropping his body fat from 21% to 16%, losing 13 pounds and, in his own words, looking far better than he ever thought he would.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

Skinny-fat at 40<\/h2>\n

Gary came to ATP around his 40th birthday wanting, in the simplest terms, to get in shape. Behind a busy finance career and family life, the years had left him carrying more fat than he wanted. On day one he weighed 71kg at 21% body fat, with a resting heart rate of 80.<\/p>\n

I was literally skinny fat. I’d just turned 40, and initially I just thought I wanted to be in shape.Gary<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What losing body fat really does<\/h2>\n

Over the course of a year, Gary and his coach focused on stripping away fat and building lean muscle. His body fat came down from 21% to 16%, and the definition he was after started to show. The change caught even him by surprise.<\/p>\n

Guess what, I’ve lost 13 pounds, and what I’m looking at now is much more amazing than I thought it would be. I didn’t think that losing weight and body fat could have such a dramatic effect. Most importantly, I want to stay healthy and be around longer for my family.Gary<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stronger and healthier, too<\/h2>\n

The gains were not only visible. Gary took his barbell bench press up to an advanced level, pressing 67kg for reps, his skinfold measurements fell across the board, and his resting heart rate dropped from 80 to 64. Leaner, stronger and healthier, exactly what he came for.<\/p>\n
