4) What was the most challenging thing your trainer has told you?
The most challenging thing Chris from AF has told me to work on is building my muscle. I've been losing my muscle mass and it had a lot to do with my intermittent fasting routine, which I loved. I would fast during my working hours, cause it makes the most sense considering I work 7pm -530am and once i get home I sleep until noon. With it being a physically demanding job (mostly cardio), he told me I need to fuel myself during those times so I don't lose muscle. The challenging part about it is giving up intermittent fasting cause I grew very fond of the routine and results. But, hey, you do what you got to do right?
