Personal trainer

Daniel tries to go to the gym in his free time as much as his work commitments allow. In late February 2018, he took part in a 99-day fitness challenge from one of his best friends. He started exercising almost every day but didn’t change much in his diet, just added a little more vegetables.

In 99 days, Daniel went from 78kg to 73kg.5kg and regained his health and stamina. This short-term goal motivated him to stick to a similar training routine so he would never go back to his old weight. For this reason he took up 1-hour intensive swimming lessons in the afternoon a few times a week.
