About the Author Mike Chang

Like many men Mike Chang was overweight and un-toned at 220 pounds and struggled to get the perfect well toned body and six pack abs. After trying the latest diets and workout fads and after 100’s of hours of workouts he had nothing to show for it. In 2005 out of frustration he sought out the help of professional trainers, mentors and other athletes.

The insight and training that he received transformed his life mentally and physically. He learned that the proper exercise along with the proper nutrition was the answer to an ideal body. Mike went on to become a certified International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) Trainer. He started training clients in the Houston area and began to get a large following with his workout and training methods that were fine tuned and improved more all the time.

Mike was able to get the six pack abs that he always wanted and share it with hundreds of others using his own system. Mike specialized in ab training and became known as the “go to” six pack abs coach. Many of his clients suggested that he should take his system to a larger audience than just the Houston area.

Continuing eating specified healthy pre-made meals to help build muscle mass and lose fat.
