Cade Petersen, with Wheeler Cat, has seen more results this year since working with The Apple Program® than any other year. Before The Apple Program Cade was losing his motivation to be healthy. However, since joining the program, his desire has been enhanced. He has lost 17 pounds since joining The Apple Program and is now running about fifteen miles every week.
Cade admits a year ago he could barely run for ten minutes, but with the help of a coach he designed goals and got himself on the road to success. He’s bought a treadmill and enjoys running on that or outdoors when it’s warmer. He keeps his workouts varied by incorporating strength exercises, such as crunches or pushups. He never thought he’d look forward to exercising, but now he does!
Cade started out small and set light goals to prevent himself from becoming mentally exhausted. His recommendation is that others do the same. “Start with 10 pushups a day and gradually build up. Before you know it you’ll be doing 40.”
Not only has Cade improved his exercise, but with the help of his Apple Health Coach®, he is learning about nutrition. He now has a better understanding of a healthy diet and realizes it’s not that difficult to incorporate. (He’s been aiming four servings of fruits and vegetables a day). Checking in with his coach regarding his exercise and nutrition goals, has also helped Cade stay on track. He wanted to have good news to report to his coach.
Cade feels like the lifestyle changes he’s made are permanent. “It’s become part of my life, like brushing my teeth! I feel healthier and more in shape than I ever have in my life!”
