What makes a good workout routine? Dieticians would stress that what you eat is what you are, therefore a carefully calculated meal plan is imperative for optimal results. Bodybuilders would say it doesn’t matter what you eat as long as you eat and maintain an efficient level of calorie intake to produce mass.
Many of us try to find what works best for us when it comes down to staying in shape. While that is great and all for the average person, some of us go far and beyond to achieve outstanding results. These next 75 images show how regular people flipped their life around after turning into fitness junkies.
