Success Story Of:
Dean Smith
“When I started my fitness program, I had constant low back pain.
Now I am pain free, have lowered my cholesterol levels, increased my
overall strength and am more fit than ever in my life. I’ve
been on a high-protein, low-fat, quality carbohydrate diet for 2
years. It has helped keep my body fat low and maintain the
necessary muscle growth I desire.”
Dean faithfully lifts 3x per week with each workout taking about an
hour. For cardio, he uses his Nordic Trac 3x per week for about
30-40 minutes but recently joined the 6:00 am Boot Camp class. He
enjoys Ra’s challenging workouts and the variety to his cardio has been
good.
Dean attributes much of his lifting knowledge to Don Schaffer and Mike
Sandifer who have helped him maintain diversity to his program.
John and Mark Murphey are his lifting partners and finds this
accountability important to fitness. Exercise has become a family
affair for the Smith’s. Dean’s enthusiasm drew his wife, Sandy
into her own program. She too lifts and attends Aquacize.
Dean is an avid backpacker and recently returned from a 3-day hike in
the Pecos Wilderness. He says that his improved fitness
conditioning makes his hobby all the more enjoyable.
Who says you can’t be in great shape at 47 years old!
