Want to look leaner and more defined but don't know where to start? Wondering if you can actually build muscle and lose fat simultaneously? The crucial first step is identifying your starting point—but this requires an honest assessment of where you are right now, which can be tougher than it sounds.

Sue and Alex dive into two detailed client case studies that will help you pinpoint your starting point AND develop a clear roadmap for transforming your physique. These real-world examples will show you exactly how to approach body recomposition based on your unique situation.
