Getting Started
Skye Mackintosh set out to prove you don't need hours in the gym to transform your physique.
“As a teenager I was naturally skinny, then as an adult my age, eating habits, and lack of consistent exercise caught up to me. For 10 years I was 'skinny fat.'”
Diet Change
Mackintosh cut added sugar for a year and lost 18 pounds but felt less confident with his appearance.
“I cut out added sugar for a year and lost 18lbs. I felt better but not great.”
Home Workouts
Mackintosh started 20-minute home workouts using bodyweight, a kettlebell, and a weighted vest.
“I started working out in my bedroom and posting it online. I was humbled and blown away that thousands rallied to support and keep me going.”
Day 100
After 100 days, Mackintosh gained 8 pounds and felt stronger but less confident with his appearance.
“I put on about 8 pounds and made it to day 100.”
Day 300
By day 300, Mackintosh weighed 3 pounds less than day 1 but looked leaner and more muscular.
“I feel strong, athletic, and most importantly: happy. I learned to trust myself and the process.”
