Working out with Kris Grethin - half way update - 43rd day

To all those striving hard to lose weight, I have this to say: There is hope. There is hope if you do it right. And this blog post will tell you exactly how to do it right and what results I have achieved by doing it right.

Half way gain: 

  • lost 13 pounds
  • gained 2.5% muscle 
  • looking leaner and more ripped - feeling much better and stronger



I've been following Kris Grethin's 12 week program and I have lost 13 pounds half way and have put on muscle... and started looking much more ripped. If I lose another 10 by the end, I will be a very happy man... which I am already to a large extent.

Who is Kris Grethin?
A celebrity physical trainer- who has trained Hrithik Roshan and John Abraham among others. 
What is Kris Grethin's 12 week program?
How do you use it?
You see the videos and go to the gym to do the exercises. You eat what he suggests. You can take the same supplements also - but I largely gave supplements a miss and am still getting good results. 

If you have a cellphone with 3G, nothing like it. You can view the videos in the gym while you are working out for that day. 

Are there more people who have followed and benefited from this program?
Yes - you can join a group on bodybuilding.com - there are hundreds of people who follow this program religiously... and have benefited far more than anyone has from religion. ;) Read their testimonials and before-after stories (with pics).

What's the program like?
  • Work out 2 days and then rest one day (just kardio) - 84 days in total or 12 weeks
  • About 1.5 hours of workout a day
  • Diet is 70% of the trick  - even if you do not follow it 100% try to follow it as much as you can... otherwise, it doesn't work. Maybe it does without the diet program..if you are 15-30 years old. But for 35+ it certainly doesn't without the diet.
What do I need to get started?
  • Some tenacity to continue
  • A little prior experience with exercise is desirable but not necessary
  • A cell phone with 3G desirable but not necessary - you can even print the PDF schedule for the day and take it along  
  • A kitchen and preferably a cook who could make very simple things to order - like brown rice... chicken pasta.... boiled eggs and boiled sweet potato
Get started and feel free to get in touch with me.
