Introduction

In just six months, Reddit user cha0tix was able to lose 63 pounds of weight, going from 218lb down to 155lb. This amazing transformation is a true inspiration for anyone looking to lose weight and get in shape.

Cardio and HIIT Routine

Cha0tix's weight loss journey was largely cardio-based. He did lots and lots of cardio and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) while on a caloric deficit. His cardio routine mostly consisted of running a 10k on the treadmill or bike in the morning before lunch. At first, it took him an hour and a half to do a 10k, but now he's able to do it in just 50 minutes flat.

Intermittent Weight Training

Although most of his weight loss was based on cardio and HIIT, cha0tix did incorporate intermittent weight training into his routine. He used dumbbells at home once a week for the last month or so. He also took powerlifting in high school but nothing too serious. Even though he did not lift often, he still looked surprisingly muscular for not having lifted much.

Genetics and Dedication

Cha0tix is also self-aware and acknowledges that he was lucky as far as genetics goes. Nevertheless, his results were only possible because of his dedication and hard work. Losing weight and getting in shape takes time and effort, and there are no shortcuts. Anyone can achieve similar results by following a healthy diet, doing cardio, and strength training; it just takes time and dedication.

Conclusion

By following a healthy diet, doing cardio, and strength training, anyone can achieve similar results.
