Trainer gains weight 35 kg to give motivation to lose weight

Okay, I consider this the good news of the day. His name is Adonis Hill, he is a personal trainer with a crazy physique, and he was capable of a crazy and decidedly surprising gesture for a personal trainer: to give an overweight client the right motivation to lose weight, Adonis has gained weight. 35 kilos in three months. Her intent was to regain weight with her, pushing her to give the best of herself without feeling judged by a man in perfect shape, but starting from similar overweight conditions. Similar but not the same, however. Here are the reasons why this gesture was beautiful, but also useless.

The reasons why gaining 35 kilos for your client is totally useless:
– Adonis Hill can also take 35 kilos of flab, but will never have the same body composition as her client, who may be starting a training course for the first time in his life. Adonis’s muscles, although now clouded with flab, have their positive weight in his metabolism. So Adonis will lose weight easier than his client. – The client, whose history we don’t know, may have reasons why she is obese. Not because you eat a lot, not because you have never exercised (although obviously the two voices affect), but because obesity also has to do with genetics or hormonal reasons that make the equation if you eat little and exercise you lose a lot. weight is nullified

– Adonis’s client is a woman. You are at a disadvantage due to your slow metabolism, even for physiological reasons.
So: Adonis will lose weight quickly, her client probably not or not as easily as one who competes when in shape. Adonis Hill is in fact a personal trainer of the “no excuses” and “no pain no gain” type; from his point of view, everyone can lose weight with the right training and the right diet. But science and even some common sense show the opposite: if it was based only on dedication and motivation, a lot of people who go on a low calorie diet and kill themselves in the gym (I know people who go there every day apart from on Sundays) would be perfectly fit. But it isn’t.

Reasons why gaining 35 pounds is a great thing for your client:
Despite the simplicity of the “no excuses” philosophy, Adonis undoubtedly made a singular gesture, and in my opinion positive: the client, Alissa, found the right motivation to lose weight when a competitive personal trainer questioned the her body and her efforts for her, something we might call an act of trust. And trust is rare in this world, and rare in gyms as well. She found another motivation to lose weight in the abatement of fat shaming: it is hard to go to the gym if you are overweight, while perhaps the frequent patrons with years of training behind them train next to you showing off a sculptural and lean physique. . And it’s especially hard for a woman. Which is why many women, often feeling misunderstood or not understood by their personal trainer,Adonis himself explains his gesture as simple altruism: to be a little less interested in yourself and, if you work for others, show that you listen to them and do something for them, or try.

Moral of the story? This story is over a year old. In one year, Adonis’ client, Alissa, has lost 30 kilos in 4 months, and has gradually continued her journey, while Adonis to get back in the perfect shape of the past took little more than it took to gain weight. Was the experiment successful? Apparently yes.
