Sharon’s was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism at age 15 which resulted in her to progressively increasing her weight each year despite the amount of work she was doing at the gym and the good nutritional food she was eating.

Training Objectives
The number 1 objective was always to bring the weight down. Incremental weight targets were set to achieve which help to break down the large goal into smaller manageable sizes that became the main focus.
One of the main problems with Gastric Sleeve surgery is the loss of muscle mass as well as fat. Therefore a critical component of the training program was it lean more towards weight training using heavier weights and less reps rather than muscle toning which uses lighter weights and more reps. This approach combined with an appropriate diet help maintain the muscle mass whilst the weight loss continued.

For this journey Sharon learnt how to break through the barriers that were holding her back so she could achieve her true potential.
