Since winning the contest, I have fully adopted the fitness lifestyle. This is my passion. I hope, given the opportunity, we can work together to reach your individual fitness goals. If you want more than a trainer, look no further than #DrHalidFit!
So how did he do it?
I started with cardio twice per week, then three, and so on. I was doing cardio 4-5 times per week toward the last half of the contest. I also increased the duration of cardio. I aimed to burn 400-500 calories, or go for 45 minutes. I’d usually hit the calorie goal before time ran out.
On rest days, that’s all I did—rest. I didn’t work out or anything. I used music to keep myself motivated on the days I didn’t want to be there, or had a long day at work. I have some nice headphones with deep bass. I put on my jams and it gets me pumped. The music keeps me going. As long as I have my music and my MP3 player, I’m good.
Halid’s Training Regimen
– Lift the heaviest weight that still allows you to complete the rep goal for each set.
– Rest 2-3 minutes between regular sets.
– Increase weight as you decrease reps.
Hypertrophy Circuit note:
– 1 set of 12-18 reps for each exercise
– Perform each exercise consecutively once for 1 round
– 3 rounds with 60-90 seconds rest between rounds
“My view of myself definitely changed. I realized I have an incredible amount of determination and drive inside of me. I never knew it existed. I figure, I’m just a regular dude, so if it it’s inside of me, then it’s inside of everyone.”
To achieve your fitness goals, you need to build endurance, strength, flexibility, and more. Halid built every aspect of fitness by starting slow, developing a champion’s work ethic, and never giving up.
