--> --> It seems we are only dealt one fortune in life. We get it, live it, deal with it and call it a wrap. Ashley Johns refused to accept this. She chose to reverse her fortune. Email More by Dustin Lapray Feb 10, 2012

Change often comes as a result from a dramatic life event. Sometimes it's a car accident, a divorce, a doctor's visit or an insult shot across a banquet hall. But, the most common impetus for a complete body transformation is an internal drama cast by a glance in the mirror with a critical eye. Ashley Johns caught her own gaze on New Year's Day, 2009.

In less than a year, Ashley ditched 40 pounds, competed in a figure competition, ran a 5k, quit her job as a banker and became a personal trainer. Her new body helped her take a new tack on life. Her transformation changed her on deep, fundamental levels, beyond image and into the self. See where she's headed now.

In the two years since the impetus of her fortune reversal, Ashley forged her way to become a professional in the fitness industry.

Sean Sarantos Fitness 360: Never Say Die - Training

Since Sean Sarantos and his body don't always agree with a set workout schedule, he bases his routines off how his body feels each day. That may not be as easy for you as it is for this fitness professional. He includes a full weekly split, but doesn't always abide by it daily.

He works two muscle groups per day. He typically performs 'big' lifts early in the week and then works isolation movements later in the week to tone. He likes to give his muscles at least 48 to 72 hours of rest between training days.

If you have an injury, make sure not to overexert the injured area. But neither should you overwork the healthy parts of your body. It's a delicate balance, trying to improve one lagging muscle group without wrecking your overall physique.

Sean used to run marathons and triathlons, but his cardio these days relies on CrossFit 3 times weekly and some weekend runs.

Sean's Training Philosophy

Says Sean: "The hardest step for anyone to make is the first step into the gym, the journey toward a better life. Even avid fitness goers can be uncomfortable around others. As long as we keep in mind that the benefits will outweigh the insecurities, we can put one foot in front of the other and BOOM! Before you know it, you're a new person! But it always takes that FIRST STEP and everyone has to remember that. You can't leap, skip and jump your way to success. You first have to trip, fall and maybe collect some scars along the way."

The training program that sean talks about in the video is not the same as the one listed below the video. It would be nice to see his actual program.
