I'm so sad when I go to the beach people hire me for shade in my world gravy's the beverage Missoula balls got a lifeguard I don't sweat all Explorer I'm really serious upload okay I'm fat I admit it well I don't have to admit it you can see that and don't think I haven't heard or used every single one of those fat jokes and my size is provided me with a living and now it's killing I'm Frank Payne the big guy obviously I'm an actor writer and comedian Dad I'm a man who is morbidly obese which means I'm more than 100 pounds overweight I decided to loan my body to science and take you inside deep inside my big fat body I'm going to doctors and scientists using the latest and imaging technology show you what happened the human body my body when it becomes morbidly obese since I'm willing to Bear all hears what are looking at I'm 5 feet 10 inches tall and 363 pounds my waist is 60 inches which means I'm 5 ft around them I wear a 5x and what this gut I never wear anything tucked in  at this point you got to be wondering how someone like me gets to be this the first place  let me show you how and what I eat in 24 hours I'll text for double I always like to order a big enough where they film order for a family so that way it's not like all that fat guy just wear it all that for himself you know I don't limit myself to three meals day over at 24 hour. I'm more of a continual constant grazer really sitting on the restaurants too much cuz you don't want to be a fat guy there you know you want to be the biggest guy in the restaurant now I'm happy  Chicken the only reason I get any exercise because the upstairs apartment was the only one available when I sit down I can polish off a few pounds of food and just seven minutes after Burgers fried chicken and ice cream you might think I'm done but I'm not this is not a reenactment I really do order like this dress large how many does that serve  324 okay two of them then I'm going to have a couple other people here and I what is the sun next sandwich okay why want that for me that'll be mine by now I know what you're thinking how can you eat like that which is when I doing Secret it sounds but like what food has become my best friend that's comforting and never talks back to you it tells you you're okay but I know deep down I'm not okay I'm 46 years old and I can't live like this anymore I'm taking the first big step getting a physical not very difficult we will not make you run more than you really drawn walk okay the blood pressure is so high do you change a little bit must see if my heart can handle the most basic level of exercise wasn't too bad my heart hey that's my son getting shortness of breath  that's why I get a little scared I'll start choking I started like you know I can't breathe and it's a scary place for me who's the time when I actually looked and felt fit back when I was wrestling in high school but that's when I started Benji you want to lose weight so you can get down certain weight classes how to lose weight again way I'd come in at the beginning of season everyone comes in having to lose weight and at the end of the season everyone's I call or we could eat again so it was definitely fist feast and famine but my problems with eating started long before that when I was six years old unless my little brother John Battle khemia 2 and 1/2 so he is in the hospital most of his life even if they gave me bad it pretty quick right in his casket to the graveyard never see your parents cry can anything  Chad and you know  I just started eating more I think that was something I'm looking back on now it's okay I probably did it after the fence maybe or something I found pleasure from food a little by little at wake so it's creeping up free know your 242-5260 really feel fat one day that's all my heart I thought I was having a heart attack and so I would see the doctor and I looked over and down on my chart what are words morbidly obese  the shot is the doctor didn't tell me maybe assumed I knew I don't know but that was kind of scary play Connect  you know kind of things  I've decided to do something about it I agreed to do this show my first stop is the Westside Medical Imaging Center in Los Angeles California or scanning devices will show me what a beast new looks like on the inside this is a state-of-the-art 64-slice CAT scan kind of x-ray impression is here is somebody who is a ticking time-bomb Imaging a moving structure so the hearts in constant motion and the artery set on the heart are moving and her able to take pictures of a coronary artery that maybe 2 or 3 mm in diameter we can actually Turman weather you have coronary artery disease leading to what we call Sudden cardiac death when I got out of the CAT scan I knew the results couldn't be good dr. Lepore showed me the 64-slice CAT scan image of my heart the yellow stuff is fat marble through my heart like a piece of fatty steak this is a picture of the coronary arteries see this little Speckles of white material turns out the white stuff is plaque kind of like putty that's building up in my arteries unclogging blood flow which is unusual for someone of your age can you call The ventricle is thick since the walls of my heart are thick and stiff it has a harder time pumping blood he also said my heart is large that was scary to hear one of the manifestations of obesity is actually infiltration of the liver by fat cells do have liver infiltration by fat I know my liver is supposed to be pink and get rid of toxins but now with the fat in it it doesn't work very well nectar Laporte told me if it gets worse my liver could Harden leading the cirrhosis or I might need a liver transplant if it fails when was the alot of gooey fat in your abdomen and again what we're more concerned about in terms of heart disease is what we call the visceral fat I wouldn't be surprised that someone like you in their fifties were to have some kind of cardiovascular event perhaps you may develop a blockage that just causes engine sometimes our heart attack I'm kind of in shock right now to have an anxiety attack fun free hortilux on regretful my past everything that you were being told by everyone else you know by your friend saying you know how you got to watch play Sinead three steaks you don't need six Burgers but I always felt strong enough mad enough to be able to do that you know let's drink more beer let's let's party harder instead see it out I don't exercise I can't just deny anymore that mean it's coronary heart disease scary it's not even about me to buy my mom and dad they lost one son  do a disease  can you come now I think about it I want to listen either real play a starting to sink in time Frank Payne can a morbidly obese I've just seen the damage all this fat has done to my and now I'm about to get the results of my blood test from dr. Libby has a specialist in morbid obesity  okay by the way she's 5-3 maybe 100 lb  Ben other words about the size of my right leg  we're going to go into this room blood test last week showed elevated cholesterol so your cholesterol 287 when a normal cholesterol should be less than 200 your bad cholesterol which is your LDL should be less than 130 your bad cholesterol stew 20 is the bad cholesterol because it's tricky late in the blood and slowly build up in the inner walls of arteries and then turns into plaque HDL is the good cholesterol my HDL is 28 it needs to be over 40  he usually look at the ratio of your bad cholesterol to your good cholesterol that gives is your heart disease risk factor and so your ratio shows that you have twice the risk factor of having a heart attack in a normal average individual it means that you at risk of having heart disease stroke heart attack Frank is only 46 years old he has the body of a six or seven year old I think Frank needed to cope and so his primary coping mechanism was essentially denial he just ignores his health and pretends that he's healthy then he's able to carry on something but those days you feel great so you can blow it off  and right now the weight of this is really crushing down on my you know everything is reversible if you start now to really change and take this seriously and I'll think of yourself as healthy because happened to you and every decision you make from now on and for the rest of your life has to be a decision for your livelihood and for your health really scares me because there's only one person who can fix this and that's me  obviously I know I eat more calories than I burn I just didn't know how many more dr. Hazen set me straight so maybe one day's consumption of food pretty much I mean obviously just looking at it just objectively you know something's off little bit so what happens if you eat so fast that you don't even give your body a chance to listen to the shoes that are coming from your brain and telling you to stop we have a hormone grilling grilling is actually made in your stomach and Grilling and creases before meals so as you get hungry grilling increases it appetite stimulating hormone once you eat your stomach is full your ghrelin decreases to normally your brain cused would be alerting you to stop the chill completely oblivious essentially and telling your body I'm going to do whatever I want to do it doesn't matter what you're telling you to do so let's do the math so normally going to talk is supposed to consume 2000 calories a day if you're physically active this pizza has 100 calories this pizza has 3500 calories so you already close to 7000 calories three days worth just at those two pizzas in one sitting now you would also consume for double cheeseburgers sandwich alone 630 calories the chicken is 2900 calories the ice cream 2003 20 counts you consuming 15150 calories when in a day you're supposed to consume 2000 it means that from Friday night to Saturday you essentially putting on four pounds so this is 4 lb of fat it's heavy okay it's have a fat is heavy 40 x 40 x what is already on your body so that's what you've got to get rid of  it feels like all this fat is literally crushing me the next set of test is going to reveal just true that really is  I was invited by Stanford University to be the first morbidly obese person tested in the world famous human performance the best athlete on the planet come here to find out how their bodies can perform better  I'm coming here to find out how badly I'm treating mine here's a chance to measure very accurately the way that will be City impacts on the body we are going to start your day off with a deck scan  Phil Cuddy starts my testing on a dexa scan it's a machine that measures exactly how much muscle bone and fat play my body how long will it take about 3 minutes lunch we are head  what I'm seeing on the screen right now is your skeletons coming into shape or at the your fourth or fifth rib cuz of your excess body mass your arms are unable to hang naturally at your side or shoulders seem to be plated you're not able to bring your legs closed due to fat mass in the Torso fat Mass on the inner thigh you're not able to be in alignment looking at are numbers from today we have a body composition number of 48.5% body fat percentage soap of the 300 and 63 lb almost 49% of that is considered body fat Tommy as happenings fat essentially half of you is fat I'm at Stanford's world-class Human Performance lab weather test in my body inside out I was stunned to learn but nearly half my body is fat 48.5% body fat percentage while how does it feel to be 50% fat it's like you can a dead body on you basically I'm coming. It's like you're so far in the hole right now can that be fixed and this is the problem that people that carry lot of x make it into they need to be more fit to be able to lose weight but they can't get more fit because they don't have the ability to actually move to but that's exactly what they needed me to do next move so now we're going to really work you out or going to do a stress test because of my more obesity doctor Ashley a cardiologist head to monitor me as I did my next test I am going to have you hold this year VO2 max test measures how efficiently the body uses oxygen by pushing an athlete to the max  obviously there several problems in my kicks I'm way out of shape  going to get you up to the faster walk and then we're going to stop making it steeper vinyl mountains breathing rate is increasing it's hard to breathe the fats run my lungs keeps you from being able to breathe deeply and use oxygen efficiently little sleep or night Freedom Festival this is challenging him starting to challenge him my heart can't pump well it limits how the oxygen is trans form into energy to my muscles but despite my limitations I gave it my all she did a really good job keep moving couch through picture is hard as you can keep going keep pushing forward Frank that was great you really maxed out on this test my kidney are you I did what I could but he was proud that I of the spirit inside me to push myself to the Limit I did I know that's parrots Jaime and I just got to keep that Kindle right now but because it's easier just to say now and go back to old habits turn system how you're using oxygen for exercise basically what he's telling me is that my heart lungs and muscles are so stressed by all this that my body really can't handle much exercise at all  yes trouble walking let alone running on a treadmill he is severely limited he's Limited in the way in 85 world will be limited the next test will show what my weight is doing to my bones and joints tore busier a biomechanical can measure those forces so we can look at the way you walk and move okay and the way we going to do that as we going to stick a bunch of these reflective markers onto your different body going to capture the movements in 3D so what we orange didn't understand is well Jeremy or general activities of daily living what kind of loads are on your joints and if we just and what type of loads on the joints that gives us some bitter indication of in and college Health musculoskeletal Health in those type of things dress like a sumo wrestler can on the biggest guy in the room you can tell him Iris by the way to my legs when you going to look like a Christmas tree when this is finished so we have a motion capture system he has cooled of wiconsin and that allows us to track the Motions of Frank as he's walking along we also have food plates in the ground and those Force plates in track the reaction you're ready and go  is Frank hits the ground with his feet is an equal and opposite Force back from the ground onto him so we can mesh US forces when you are applying a force to the ground you can see that on the string and go to things that matters is distress in the joint when you're walking new experience 121.2 X bodyweight so for Frank oocyte 360 lb that means with every step he takes his about 360 lb of Lord interacting with his foot now when you go out to the knee joint they can be two times body weight so that 700 pounds of force through his knee turn the last song it was a slow walk it's okay you're ready and go  Dad did wait when loaded on the skeleton puts usual forces on the joint the main forces we worry about are those to the cartilage in the cartilage is that shiny Teflon type substance similar to what you see on end of a chicken bone so once that cartilage is gone that can produce joint pain symptoms a week all arthritis osteoarthritis degenerative arthritis can't larger than someone of the same size which means the stress is in your joints at 5 greater so to account for that you will slow up so you have missed Force less stress on you joint more weight slower walk coming now one of the things that can change with walking speed is your stip links and that's another thing that you find with people who are overweight as they have much shorter step link and they also choose to have their feet slightly water pop for a comparison and athlete named the same test this is how my body should move here's a difference in their skeletons on the big boned guy on the right you have slightly more retation sideways do you have more lactose way that trunks wife and your feet is lot anymore so I decided compared to James he's working with much narrower starts as of course closer to his body as well you can see some dramatic changes in this is ideally way we will head when when you lose a bit more white anything else I would blame joint pain and ankle swelling on all sporting events know the reason I'm feeling pain or reason I'm not feeling good reason heart palpitates sometimes reason I can't walk up a set of stairs without feeling pain is because I'm fat by this point I was tired the next test I faced at the high-tech world of Stanford University would take me into their virtual reality that's really high and stuff I'm pretty impressive I'm Frank and this is thank you for agreeing to be a participant today typically the focus has been on the actual technological aspects of the equipment and instead we use that as a tool to examine social questions and social issues going to be part of an experiment she had to read the standard protocol rules Setter exercise and experience the benefits of your exercise that is it will appear to lose weight when you don't exercise your avatar will not lose weight play the game wait it's just going to lose weight so I'm going to demonstrate the exercise she'll be doing today you're going to start with your right leg lifted up to waist level and put it back down to the ground then you'll move your left leg voice level and back down to the ground so when repetition is a right and the left so as you exercise like that she'll see your avatar exercise this is an H&D or ahead mounted device going to put this on your head and this will enable you to actually see the virtual world so here are two screens and that's where you'll actually see the world being rendered this light right here or going to turn that on because that's going to help the H&D be tracked by those four cameras in the corners of the room alright Frank you can open your eyes do you see your virtual room you turn to your right and turn to your left alright great you're definitely tracking let me just like not to wear a helmet and see myself in 3D right that's your face  wow  so weird Cena without the extra chins you know that start whenever you're ready we immerse them in the John Barrowman so he dons the head-mounted display the hmd and when he's in there what he is seeing is a representation of the broom and an appearance of himself and as he exercises that virtual self will actually begin to lose weight so the quicker he exercises the more intensely exercises the faster he sees results Livermore size are shown on your avatar so at your lifting your legs each time you perform a repetition of the exercise your avatar is losing weight if you notice yourself getting any thinner Egyptian in duration we exercise you should have some get thinner and thinner and the last exercise you kind of just stay there at the same weight so it inspires you that you know see what your future can be and what would you going to do this is pretty amazing I can actually see him losing weight sometimes I'm moving Frank Frank seem to be having a good time in there as he was exercising and I could tell he was really noticing the changes men's body and in the end when we gave him the option you know hey Frankie can take a breather you know you can sit down whatever you want to do he really want it to get that Avatar back into that skinnier version of himself so he wanted to see that ideal body shape and he was willing to put forth the extra physical effort it took to get there you deserve it I just hit a pound Milton off he's more of an interactive motivator could actually be incorporated as a exercise as you exercise you see yourself lose weight that can help you push out an extra set and it could help you you know operate at a different intensity level it could help you exercise longer all those things could be immediately beneficial  alright great Frank we're done I'm going to go ahead and take you out of the virtual world this point we'll talk a little bit about the experiment that's pretty wild you feel about your workout pretty cool did you feel that that made you an exercise more quicker yeah yeah yeah I'm kind of so blown away by it I mean is really was quite surprising with this 3D image I can see it happen I can see my waist coming in a bit it's coming off its sometimes you doubt it and I give you one of believe it but you know you're like me I write your pants and getting loose it doesn't matter you still like looking in the mirror what would the energy machine is 3D imaging you can see a come off it does try to push a little bit harder because of the faster you go the higher you go the more you go more you lose weight has the first Ridley obese person who's ever been tested at the human performance lab I'm overwhelmed 48.5% of my body is fat all this play what's 720 lb of pressure on my knees a part of me wanted to give up when I put you into our turn G treadmill my last test is on his odd-looking treadmill it's going to show me what it would feel like the way a lot less using air pressure the plastic change rate to seal that allows the air to lift me up and magically take the weight off my body this is the first time that we have used it as a whale a motivational tool it's more of a rehab or a training tool that we use for athletes here at Stanford and go ahead and lock that other one down just press it down load they're going to feel all the air coming in  might even feel like it's going to lift you up a little bit just another Friday night my life okay what the hell  that's interesting it's nice to relax and you're at 100% of your body weight feels pretty how's that feel  wow you are down at working at 80% of your body weight okay going down one percentage point at a time you know at 28% reduced body weight or 100 lb this what it would feel like you have a hundred pounds taken exactly  wow it's completely different it's not even a it's it's January June I can even feel the pressure off my joints if I come 200 here hahaha your 50% of your body weight right okay baby it feels wonderful it feels or I I really don't want to go back to bed and my body weight again I remembered from several I ran track I remember having that bounce that feel in my feet I mean I just feel more alive this is one of the greatest battle it's not just cuz it's the lying it's telling you what could be it is telling me what can be it's a powerful tool so going to work our way back here's 80% of your body weight what just happens I just added 10% oh my God 92% of your body weight now this is what you are experiencing on day-to-day life honest sucks and now you're a bodyweight true body weight percent of you  rap song it down slow me down falling down this is an eye opener pretty powerful how do I let myself get to this point  I couldn't tell you I have a lot of work out of me I have to do it for myself I'm so shocked at what the Stanford test revealed that I have no other choice but to get fit or Die For The First Time in 25 years I've decided to work out found a trainer who's got a lot of experience with very overweight people like me Charisse Griffin hey hey how you doing okay cool have a safe my plan for Frank is to definitely keep him challenged because a lot of times of morbidly obese person already in their mind has said I cannot do this just like me as your giant pumpkin can get the car for me I love it I love it come right around the belly button okay can you give me a pack there it's been a long time since a woman is put her arms around me and now she can't even do that again I'm embarrassed we are looking at about 60 and a half right so that's what we'll work in from ready to do this squeeze it tight in it and right now what I'm doing is just figuring out from a strengths perspective and just seeing where you are right now we're going to start turning you to a furnace I need you to be a walking furnace okay back when I was wrestling High School I could probably bench-press route 250 pounds now I'm lucky is press a major concern that my body was going to be able to take it I like the fact that you used to be an athlete so you understand discipline Dan muscles so I'm just going to reawaken your body I don't want to fail I don't know what's going to happen at all the next thing was it's going to be one of your best friends one of them besides me the key with us Frank is always going to be challenge challenge challenge for myself this I gave up on myself for the last 20 and 25 years he's going to be successful if I have to say get your hiney and gear immediately right cuz I know you can do it dig deep within I will get your posture together pull yourself up right it is going to be a slow process because at his level being more than you it's definitely one baby step at a time could pull that belly button in pull it in Trish I'm over at a trainer if I went to the gym myself I would have beat myself that hack and not showing up ever again  it helps talk to someone who understands what I'm going through because right now I'm having trouble twins Jeff and Jim Thiel lost nearly 100 lb each on last year's National Body Challenge had to start Jim weighed 344 lb and Jeff is 296  and like me they loved Pizza cannolis sausage parmesan but they had it worse they run their own Italian restaurant in Eagle Rock California so they're surrounded by Temptation the Twins were in trouble set high cholesterol and Jim was diabetic they started eating Better With a Little Help from the national Body Challenge crew it wasn't easy but they went to work more than 16 weeks that we did so so all that we can lose that much weight in such a short time oppressive is it they didn't stop losing weight once the cameras went away today Jim's down to 241 a total loss of 103 pounds and Jeff is at 2 195 lb lighter did you have this goal in mind turn on maybe your old self are we go life or death the body challenge and you lots of Lincoln all acute amount of weight and you kept going how are you able to do that with no cameras no supports or size who you work out with her trainer twice a week and then we go work out on our own yet I go for a walk at lunch time blood pressure is down yeah but pressure is good my boy River level is good and my cholesterol is getting aches and pains from doing all the physical activity it does in fact it will show you a whole pizza and pasta turkey sausage and Italian restaurant you're going to have sausage we're going to make you a healthy low-fat Twins Pizza yes really thin whole wheat crust a light sprinkling of low fat cheese lean turkey sausage peppers and mushrooms at 200 calories a slice it's a slow fat Delight fantastic I excellent excellent nicely done perfect I've been working with Charice for an intense month-and-a-half but today I'd old knee injury flared up now I'm in big trouble I can't get out of bed  my knee is killing me villagers a knife in there and he's just being Twisted back and forth this weight is taking a bigger toll on my body then I realized I need to figure out what my other options are I've heard about bariatric surgery the procedure surgeon makes your stomach smaller seek and eat so much  I'm not big on surgery I'm actually kind of afraid of it but at this point a quicker fix worth checking out today I'm going to UC Irvine to meet with top bariatric surgeon dr. Nolan sent to your stomach can actually hold proximately a leader to 1.5 L of liquid or solid is an operation whereby a very small stomach I can only whole approximate 30cc so it's tremendously less once we construct that pouch we take the small bowel and Route it and did to the pouch this is an x-ray of a patient who just recently had a gastric bypass and this pouch holds approximately an ounce and out one Banana Leaf from the pouch it drain into the small intestine so that's is your new pouch if you decide to undergo a gastric bypass how much do you lose make it up gastric bypass if you have to put an ounce of your body 65 to 70% of your excess weight so for example your 100 lbs overweight after about 1 year we expect you to lose approximately 65 or 70 lb small take a walk over the surgical suite and I'll show you where we do our work  how many dock are the school down for group don't you have a seat okay I'm not too comfortable Anita's I know I can understand okay we perform all these operation through small incision I don't want to scare you or nothing but we use instrumentation like these to go through there instead of using my hand how would that go inside through a little port call it a trocar the first thing we'll do is we'll insufflate meaning blow up your abdomen you will look like the Michelin Man I already do we'll go ahead and place the troll car in just like this and we'll just go ahead and penetrate directly through your skin can a two-yard domino cavity to see what I'm doing we use a bigger trocar and what we have here is a high definition camera where we actually next to the trocar into your abdomen and I can actually visualize your internal organs I notice things are slowly but surely getting bigger and point of yes it is Benjamin that we use a stapler where we actually can cut and staple the intestine and makes the operation very quick another instrument that we, use I need a holder and this is used to really Stitch your intestine together who is also saw at certain spot of the intestine so we won't have any leakage I gots correct prevent leakage that's what else in there sounds huge the liver directly on top of your stomach and we have to retract the liver in order cost to see the stomach when we actually goes inside the abdominal cavity we actually go ahead and tighten it and it form a rigid retrac we'll take this retractor and retract your liver away  am I a good candidate for this you have high blood pressure since off your reflux and you've been struggling with weight loss for many years now I think you will really benefit from weight loss surgery can't really make right now stabilities fantastic what is major surgery so I have to give it some serious thought about my body has been overwhelming I like the idea of bariatric surgery for faster weight loss but I'm too afraid of surgery to go through with it so Factor diet and exercise in 3 months I've lost 60 pounds I was lucky to be invited back to Stanford's Elite Human Performance lab the find out if even 60 what makes a difference on a body as big as mine the body fat test says make me nervous looking good looking like the exercises panoff pretty excited highly energetic Frank came in three months ago his body was not allow his skeleton to rest easily do to Fat mass in the Torso fat Mass on the inner thigh Beyond pounds this text machine tell me the exact amount of fat I've dropped today or saying something a little bit different your shoulders look a lot more relaxed a little bit Slimmer profile it's looking a lot more like a normal skeleton if you recall you are at 48.5% pure fat so three months ago you came in here could barely switch on the table today almost 10% lower 38.6 38.6 I've been doing to our workouts and and it paid off  next the Vicon system details how my bones joints and muscles have responded to the weight loss hey Frank you looking great thank you I feel pretty good that everyone noticed that there was a significant difference in my body my face then come up and start smiling right away turn from their happy for me that was nice 60 lb loss and white would expect those traces to be about 20% list as well since you've lost that much body mass what we were play was compare what is the effect of his movement patterns in the forces through his joints as he's lost 60 pounds so we can actually check your natural walking speed is faster than what before once again I'm lit up like a Christmas tree joints so he can probably type many more steps before labs are further away I was walking I was lumbering wasn't a pretty sight surpass that even though I still have a lot of weight to lose I've taken pressure off my joints with just a 60 pound loss I was out of red last time doing this yeah it's walking back and forth and now I feel great good will get you running sing what I'm done here's a pulled up the data from 3 months ago play walking at a normal speed before your stride was shorter you walk slower and your stride which was further apart the changes that will save a changes forces is joint if you're carrying list white list Mass you would expect those forces to be reduced your stride length is increased your stride does decreased you have list so I decide rotation and lists way in the frontal plane to a basic you're just telling me I'm later on my feet this is a very sophisticated showing it no display he's lost a lot of white he seems to be moving around much more easily he looks different man final test is the hardest measuring how my body utilizes oxygen the VO2 max push me to the edge and just seven minutes last time increasing the gradient we're at 2% gray about three and a half miles per hour actually going a little bit quicker decrease that Hill Can You Feel the difference now between the last time when you were 60 pounds heavier around 4% grade three and a half miles per hour looking good last time I was in such horrible shape I was tired it was sore we're going to stop right there you can just cut my breath and if I'm great alright Franklin miles per hour stay with it we're cheer you on buddy stay with it stay with it those arms get up the hill they put me at I believe a .5 of the inclined which is pretty steep it actually felt like an beginning to a workout I was just warmed up I was ready to do more good job you're doing well alright nice job bringing you down 11 minutes your Fitness level is up because you've more muscle you're extracting more auction the muscle that you've lost body fat so this test is a great Improvement could job the thing I noticed most about Frank was can't really look different than before he looked a little beaten down and his shoulders were around in his weight was carried forward and he kind of troop from place to place and now he just has more energy today's assessment comparing it to the Baseline 3 months ago after size time was increased nearly 50% for about 7 minutes barely 11 minutes at a higher intensity faster Pace very good job is it Frank just seen more alive I think he's turned a corner I just see a motivation in Frank that I didn't see before my first game is I didn't like what I heard coming back from Stanford on this last trip I was really encouraged by the success I made now that I've seen a difference it some weight loss can make I'm not give up trying to lose more I've
