Personal Trainer Gains Weight on Purpose
OKLAHOMA CITY--A personal trainer in the metro is trying to inspire others by purposely gaining weight, and then losing it.
Scott Do is the owner of Do It Rite Fitness, and is taking the fit, to overweight, to fit challenge.
"It's very dangerous, my blood pressure can go sky high, my cholesterol can go sky high" says Scott Do.
For the next 30 days, Do will eat nothing but fast food, drink alcohol two to three days a week, skip meals, and is not allowed to workout. "Lately I've been really tired, and I sleep in and I'm not motivated to do anything, especially work out" says Do.
Do says he was inspired to do the challenge because of Oklahoma City's high obesity rate. After the thirty day challenge, Do plans to get back in the gym, and lose all of the weight.
Do says the challenge doesn't only have an effect on his body, but also his wallet. He's keeping all of his fast food receipts to show how much it costs to eat fast food. "I had lunch today at Taco Cabana, it cost me fifteen dollars, and when I prepare my healthy food, fifteen dollars can prepare four or five healthy meals" says Do.
The personal trainer also says it's not only important to be healthy on the outside, but also the inside.
"I want to live longer, it's not just about being lean and looking good, I want to have kids, I want to see my kids grow up" says Do.
Do says he will have regular doctor appointments to check his blood pressure and cholesterol.

EL RENO, Okla. (AP) -- A woman accused in the fatal shooting of her husband in their Mustang home is trying to show she's a caring person who wouldn't take a life.
Nichols Hills Fire Chief Keith Bryan was slain in 2011 and prosecutors say Rebecca Bryan used a pistol that was found hidden in the home.
Prosecutors finished their portion of the case on Friday, and Bryan's lawyers began her defense by calling members of her family and friends to testify.
The Oklahoman reports (http://is.gd/b5ottV ) that defense witnesses described Rebecca Bryan as someone quick to help a person in need.
But prosecutors spent devoted their case to portraying her as a killer who is trying to pin the slaying on a fictional intruder.
Trial is to resume Monday in El Reno.
