Diet Changes

He also made sure to hit his protein intake (at least .82 grams per pound) for maintaining muscle mass.

Workout Routine

Jon crafted a workout routine with minimal rest and aimed at building muscle while cutting. He worked out at home 6 days a week, with one floating rest day. He followed an Upper Body Routine for 25 minutes consisting of 3 rounds of 7 exercises, and a Lower Body (Legs & Abs) Routine for 30 minutes consisting of 3 rounds of 10 exercises. Jon added 100 jump rope jumps at the end of his routine around week 5 to get his heart pumping.

Consistency is Key

Jon's journey shows us that consistency and small changes can lead to significant body transformations. He made healthy choices in his diet and exercise routine and stuck with them. He also advised others to make small changes that they can sustain, and plans for cheating moderately on the weekends. Overall, his progress inspires us to keep going and work towards our goals, always making sure to listen to our bodies and adjust as needed.

Conclusion

Weight loss and muscle gain is a journey that requires dedication and perseverance. Jon's story serves as an inspiration to keep going and never give up.
