The "PLAN" is based on your goals and where we have to take your body. A customized nutritional plan to meet your individual requirements, overall calories, marcos, and timing of meals - etc. ​The key to SUCCESS; is how well you meal plan and follow the plan. This also requires you to communicate with me weekly via text or email.  A workout PLAN to help you on shaping the pest physical YOU.
