Welcome to the fitness challenge of a lifetime!

You’ve decided to take on my 90-Day Challenge? Fantastic! Perhaps you’ve been working out regularly, but haven’t seen the results you expected. Or maybe you just realized that you want to feel stronger, physically and mentally, and you’re ready to take the first step. Whether you’re an experienced exerciser or a beginner, my unique training program will give you the tools to achieve complete mind/body fitness. Being fit is much more than having ripped abs and bulging biceps. The goal is not just to look great in the mirror, but also to feel healthy, confident, and powerful enough to handle the problems we all encounter during the course of our lives. By committing to 90 days of progressively intensive exercises that use your own bodyweight as resistance, you will increase your strength, endurance, willpower and flexibility, and improve your coordination and posture. Nutritional advice, including recipes and a menu plan, and lifestyle tips round out the program to help you achieve your full physical, intellectual, and emotional potential.

For the next three months, I will be spending every day with you. I will be right here as your trainer and companion, to encourage and motivate, to advise and look after you. Not just during the workouts, but also during your mealtimes and regeneration periods. Thanks to this comprehensive program, you will achieve astonishing results, fast. As you progress, you will learn everything you need to know about getting your body into the best shape possible. I have created 12 different high-intensity workouts using completely new exercises that train the entire body. Doing these daily workouts and following the individually tailored diet and nutrition plan will help you reach your goals.

Allow me to introduce myself: Mark Lauren—your personal trainer

I was born in the Unites States in 1977. My Filipino father was in the U.S. Army and was stationed in Germany right after boot camp. He met my mother there, where she was just finishing school, and they married in the U.S. Soon after I was born, we moved back to Germany, living near Frankfurt for eight years before returning to the States in 1986.

Both my parents were naturally athletic, as was my maternal grandfather, who was a runner-up for the Olympic freestyle wrestling team. My grandfather was the reason that I wrestled for several years throughout my childhood, until I graduated high school. At the age of 13, I joined my school’s track & field team. From my coach, I learned about the principles of overload and supercompensation. I started doing push-ups and sit-ups, which is how my journey with bodyweight training began.
