Body Quest - The Body Quest Success Story

Alex Schialdi
Age: 48
Lean weight gained: 15
Fat weight lost: 6.5
Body fat % lost: 4

A 48-year-old Miami-Dade County schoolteacher, Alex started the BODY QUEST challenge after having major back surgery and enduring about 7 weeks of inactivity. His weight had dropped to 185 pounds and his body fat was more than 20 percent. That meant he was carrying 147 pounds of lean weight and 38 pounds of fat. It wasn't the normal fitness level for Alex, who loves to play racquetball and basketball.

Although he missed 1 week of BODY QUEST training due to minor follow-up surgery, his results were impressive. At the final evaluation, Alex had reached his goals. He gained the weight he wanted to gain and tipped the scales at 194 pounds. In addition, his body fat dropped to 16 percent. That meant he was carrying 162 pounds of lean weight and only 32 pounds of fat.
