Busy father and CFO of a multi-national company Benoit underwent a life changing transformation nearly 2 years ago. He kept his new body at 50+, and he's managed to further develop his physique making healthy living a lifestyle that takes no effort to keep up.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

“When I first started to work with ATP Personal Training, these kinds of behaviours seemed like a constraint, but I think it was because it was so different from how I used to eat.

This is how Benoit was able to place his health and fitness on auto pilot and still continue to make progress.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBenoit makes no secret of the fact that ATP\u2019s D.N.A. formula (Daily routine, Nutrition, Activity) has become part of his normal life, so we asked him how he manages a high powered job, daily exercise and a sweet-tooth, while staying at a level of health and fitness.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

  1. Benoit prioritises his training:<\/span>\n

    “I like to train early in the morning before work, because it helps me to channel my energy and helps me perform better in every aspect of my day.”<\/em><\/p><\/li>\n

  2. He gets daily sun exposure:<\/span>\n

    “Something that I always try to do wherever possible, is to spend even just 10 minutes outside in the sun.\u00a0 It brings me so much positivity and I find I am even able to control my temper better (so the teams under me at work are thankful!)”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

    Daily sun exposure has a whole host of benefits: it will help with vitamin d synthesis, boost immunity, lower blood pressure and improve sleep!<\/p><\/li>\n

  3. Hydrate<\/span>\n

    Like most of our clients Benoit ensures that he drinks plenty of water throughout the day, often with added electrolyte tablets. He starts each day with a glass of water and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.<\/p><\/li>

      1. Start the day right<\/span>\n

        “I no longer skip breakfast and I find that I have more energy in the mornings.”<\/em><\/p>\n

        Some of our clients like to skip breakfast, some find that they need the fuel and prefer to kick the day of with a traditional breakfast. Find what works for you.<\/p><\/li>\n

      2. Prepare most of your meals<\/span>\n

        “I try to cook as many of my own meals as I can so that I know roughly how many calories I am consuming.”<\/em><\/p><\/li>\n

      3. Stay in balance!<\/span>\n

        “I do have a sweet tooth, but if I plan to indulge in dessert then I\u2019ll make sure the rest of the meal is balanced and healthy.”<\/em><\/p>\n

        \nSustainable transformations aren’t build on dietary extremism. You don’t need to make needless sacrifices to get where you want, instead understand that long term success is about understanding the trade offs and compromises.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        1. Building muscle is anti-aging<\/span>\n

          “I found that building some\u00a0muscle greatly improved my running times and with better posture I no longer have back pain from sitting at my desk for long periods of time.”<\/em><\/p>\n

          Benoit discovered that building muscle boosted his performance and strengthened the postural muscles that had resulted in getting back pain.<\/p><\/li>\n

        2. Find new passions<\/span>\n

          Benoit started out training 3 times per week at ATP Personal Training.\u00a0 He reduced that number to twice per week training and no supplements with his own cardio training and he has recently started kickboxing.<\/p>\n

          “I weigh almost the same as I did in my 20s but I have much more muscle now.”<\/em><\/p><\/li>\n

        3. Focus on performance<\/span>\n

          By focusing on his performance in the gym Benoit was able to knock off 10 minutes form his best 10k time.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
