Staying fit can be hard work. While there’s an onslaught of celebrities and influencers on social media who seem to have it all together with the bodies they want, it’s often accompanied by rigid workouts and planned food intake that they’ve put a lot of effort into.

So it’s perfectly understandable when you feel daunted and you’re not getting the results you expect, since working on it is no easy feat. It’s inspiring to see people who do achieve their desired weight goals who are willing to share their journey to get there, which shows that it’s still possible to achieve your #FitnessGoals by not giving up.

In an article by PUSH X Lifestyle, 17-year-old Bailey was asked about his routine. “I have been working out since I was 10,” Bailey began, and stated that he would workout whenever he finds the time. His routine is particularly intense: “My workout routine would normally be full body depending on what muscles are aching that day then a half an hour cardio after the workout. It feels great, painful, challenging, and extremely satisfying.”

He also had a personal trainer when he lived in the Philippines, and tried to cut some weight in his diet, and included mostly meat, vegetables, coffee and green tea.

He has a message for those who wanna look like him, too: “Focus on your goal everyday. Imagine what you will look like once you’ve reached it. You will feel much better inside and out. Trust me, it won’t be easy but it will definitely be worth it.”
