QA: Christiaan du Plessis – 3rd in Men’s Transformation

Please give us a short history of your journey to health and fitness before the challenge.

Never really did anything fitness-related until Sleekgeek. Now I have been doing one challenge a year for the last 9 years.

What prompted you to join the Sleekgeek Transformation Challenge?

I just needed to live with better and healthier habits.

Give us a quick overview of the nutrition and eating plan that you followed during the challenge.

Just a healthy well-balanced diet. Protein, fat, carbs, are things I learned from working with fitness consultant Ashley Galliard and Craig Brown.

Give us a quick overview of the training and exercise plan that you followed during the challenge.

I tend to train 5 to 6 days a week in the gym. Again from programs developed by previous fitness consultants.

If you could give 3 pieces of advice to future challengers, what would they be?

1. Be prepared to commit for the full 8 weeks and focus on sticking to that commitment. Doing so will give you a great sense of achievement and the results will follow.
2. Best health and fitness plan is one you enjoy and can stick to.

Why should people enter the challenge?

Having a goal in mind makes sticking to your health and fitness routine so much easier. I find it almost impossible to train and eat with the same levels of discipline without an end goal in mind.
