LA Boxing member Tim Rogers loses 80 pounds!
Ironically enough, Tim didn’t really have a goal when he came into the gym. Only 24 years old and fresh out of college he had been working out on his own at UC Irvine’s student gym, focusing mostly on weight lifting. When the time came for Tim to graduate and find a new gym, he saw LA Boxing opening up off the freeway and, being a fan of Boxing and MMA, went in one day to check out the classes.
The cardiovascular exercise was unlike anything he had ever done in high school sports or other physical activities. Almost to his concern, he dropped twenty pounds within his first week at the gym, another twenty within the next six weeks and the remaining forty over the other eight to ten months pairing his exercise with what he calls a “common sense” diet that keeps him from overeating junk foods.
“The weight has been slowly and consistently melting off while the muscle tone has been steadily building. Having come so far already I’m not sure how much further I can or should take it, but I’d love to have a six pack by the time I’m 25, and that may not be too far fetched at this point.”
