Over the next several weeks, Nik works diligently to reach his weight loss goals, starting with an extreme workout regime that includes running, weight training, and cardio exercises that push him to his limit. Throughout his journey, Nik's trainers help him to stay motivated, providing him with the encouragement and direction he needs to stick to his diet and exercise commitments.
