8 Weeks – I Lost 19 Pounds and 6.2% Body Fat
7 Mar 2012
Well, I did it. I followed and reviewed Visual Impact Cardio for a full 8 weeks and documented the entire review process.
Now, if you are anything like me, you are currently asking yourself if these results are REAL … they are real. I completely understand if you think they are exaggerated. Honestly, some of my closest friends have asked me if these pics where Photo-shopped. They are real … the Visual Impact Cardio workout rocks, what can I say!?
Here’s the latest picture … I’m a little more tan now! Yes, this makes me look better but come on, I was pretty dang WHITE 
Left: 1/11/2012 — Right: 3/7/2012
Also, there are some more before and after pictures on my results page.
This makes my total losses while following Visual Impact Cardio 19 pounds and 6.2% body fat.
Two weeks ago I weighed in at 165 pounds and this week the scale read 162 pounds. What is even more impressive than that is the amount of body fat that I have lost. When I weighed 165 pounds I was at 9% body fat. Now I am at 7.3% body fat. That means that these last three pounds have been 100% body fat … no water, no muscle, PURE FAT.
- 165 x 9% = 14.85 pounds of fat
- 162 x 7.3% = 11.826 pounds of fat
14.85 – 11.826 = 3.024 pounds of fat
Before reviewing Visual Impact Cardio I really wasn’t sure of how much of a transformation I could pull off in 8 weeks. Now that I’ve gone through the entire review, I am a firm believer in the program and the teachings behind it.

Here is the screen shot of the photo that I took from my iMac on March 7, 2012.

Looking good. I like the side by side photos. They’re real, done in good taste showing the results of dedication and a good cardio program.

Wow Kevin!
Those are some killer results. You’re looking very lean now, way to go! Awesome adonis belt and your obliques really frame your 6 pack nicely.
Greg.

Thanks Greg! Yeah … my Adonis belt and obliques make my abs look even a little better than they actually are. I definitely trained my abs with those in mind …
Hanging leg raises, side to side bent knee ups and renagade rows … that, and low enough body fat to actually see them!

Those are some great results. You even lost more than the usual 2lbs per week rule. Visual Impact Cardio seems to have the edge

Thanks Michael,
There were some weeks were I lost more than 2 pounds and there were other weeks were I lost less. Overall though, yeah I did lose a bit more, which is pretty cool because even at the very end I was losing ALL fat. Great cardio routine, that’s for sure!

Nice work Kevin. Incredible results from what looks like an awesome program.

Thanks Brad … Visual Impact Cardio really is a solid program. I definitely learned some new “tricks” that anyone can implement and get great results from. I really like that Rusty teaches you HOW to lose fat instead of only telling you what to do.

great job man. One question, how much of a deficit were u in when doing the VI Cardio?
Kevin
Mar 18, 2012 @ 03:37:20
Hey Alex … good question and very pertinent!
I was pretty aggressive in my strategy. Rusty lays out a beginner, intermittent and advanced level for getting results. I went with the hardcore one because I wanted to devote as much focus and energy into the 2 months to see what could happen.
I started out my Visual Impact Cardio review weighing 181 pounds. I THOUGHT I’d be ripped at 165 pounds but wasn’t sure if I’d lose that much weight and fat.
I took the 10 calories per goal weight approach and ate 1,650 calories … ish. I detail out my whole strategy in the members section but that’s a good gist of my deficit … pretty hard core, but so are my results!

Wow that is an awesome transformation!
Well done!
You’ve got a great site here, very well put together!

Cool, thanks Ralph!

Great results! One big question I had though. What about all your strength levels? Were you able to maintain all your strength in every lift, or did any lifts decrease?
Kevin
Mar 20, 2012 @ 03:53:03
You know what man, I honestly didn’t track that on a written doc or anything. Overall though, I know that I actually did get stronger.
I was focused purely on strength training as laid out in Visual Impact Muscle Building. Obviously, my bodyweight exercises like dips and pull-ups got MUCH easier (because I weighed so much less) but I do know that I my bench press, single arm curls and standing military presses all went up a decent amount … those stood out the most.
I really wish that I would have tracked those scores but I really didn’t. I do know that my strength gains did slow down the last week or two … I was starting to get a bit tired so I just backed off to make sure that I didn’t over-train … my main goal was fat loss, so I was fine with maintaining strength at a smaller size.
… I just re-read your question. No, NONE of my lifts decreased. They all increased but the amount of increase either slowed down significantly or stopped the last week or two.

Kevin,
Great results mate. Your review has convinced me to give the program a go. Have you thought about posting a sample of your meal plan during the review?
Niko

Thanks man! I actually did post every single meal in the members area. Basically, low calorie, low carb, high protein and high fat.

Kevin,
Amazing results. Sounds like you kept up VI muscle building while you did the cardio program – what phase were you on? I’m thinking heavier low reps would be the best.
Kevin
Apr 05, 2012 @ 14:43:37
I was following phase 3 … yep, heavier weights with lower reps.
