Justin took up a 1 month weight loss challenge. Apart from engaging the professional advice of a nutritionist, he came to me for some fitness advice so that he could take a holistic approach to losing weight.
First up was a live radio interview on 98.7. There were neither scripts nor pre-interview questions so I had no idea what was in for me, everything was impromptu and honestly, quite interesting.
I cannot emphasize how important it is to look at a long term fitness program instead of a quick weight-loss fix (aka crash diets). A person can lose a huge amount of "weight" by going on a crash diet but will most likely not lose too much fats. The danger with crash diets is that you may likely gain back more weight than you had lost.

The next day after the radio show, we did filming in the gym. As it was the first (and only) session I had with him, I put him through some simple exercises comprising of 3 aspects of fitness I mentioned on-air.
Training session following the radio interview, putting Justin Ang through some exercises (filmed on 26 September '13)
As expected, Justin had tight muscles expected of someone who tend to sit long hours at one go. His cardiovascular endurance needed to be improved. Muscular strength wise, he is average, but I expected a little more.
Overall, Justin has the body structure of a endomorph-mesomorph (soft and round body, gains fat easily, gains muscle easily, slow metabolism). If he decides to change his lifestyle and do some serious training, he has the potential to achieve a nice and fit body.
