Kevin Maddock with Rhodes Bake-N-Serve

Kevin Maddock with Rhodes Bake-N-Serve has worked hard and is experiencing great success working with his Apple Health Coach™.

Kevin was challenged to train for the Bike fundraiser for the State Chapter of Multiple Sclerosis. He said that he thought about it for a few weeks before deciding to go for it.

Kevin successfully biked a total of 122 miles over the course of two days of riding! Kevin never thought he could do something like that. The Apple Program™ helped him to set small step goals that led to the point where he was riding his bike three to four times per week. Now biking is not something that he feels required to do, but something that he truly wants to do.

“It is actually kind of fun to do this cycling thing and to push myself a little bit.” .

Kevin’s training and increased exercise through his new found enthusiasm for biking have created measurable results. In the course of 18 months Kevin has lost 40 pounds and no longer needs to take blood pressure medications. After having taken blood pressure medications for over ten years, Kevin is very pleased with his progress.

“Eighteen months of encouragement from a coach at The Apple Program™ was instrumental in setting a goal to ride in Utah’s BikeMS cycling event. One hundred and twenty two miles over two days, I never would have done this without my coach’s weekly encouragement either through email or by telephone. An added bonus from this is I am off blood pressure medication for the first time in over ten years. I feel healthier and more fit for the first time in years! Now when people want to ride bikes my reply is ‘Let’s go!!!’”

Kevin said that he still has a long way to go before he reaches his overall goal, but he knows that when he puts in the time and effort he will see results. Kevin said, “I know it will take some time and hard work to get there, but I am up for the challenge."
