From flabby to fit - Brandon Faber's CrossFit journey

accreditation
Brandon Faber, a 35-year-old dad from Gauteng, considers himself a steak-braaier extraordinaire. And overweight.

To address the latter issue, he decided to put his love for good parties on hold in an attempt to get rid of the bits that were bothering him.

Follow Brandon as he shares his CrossFit agony and ecstasy with us in weekly instalments. If you don't get inspired to follow suit, you will at the very least click away laughing as the guy has a great sense of humour. 

BRANDON'S JOURNEY

Week 1: Fat like me? Meet Brandon and see what he likes, loves and loathes 

Week 2: Brandon is amazed that nobody can see the huge difference in his physique, so obvious to  him 

Week 3: A pal tells Brandon that his bum is as flat as roadkill. Yeah!  

Week 4: Brandon keeps going, even if he is sweating like Robert Mugabe at a gay pride parade 

Week 5: Brandon sins on a trip to Cape Town, but chins up and sends in his first full-body selfie
