Weight Loss & Muscle Building Candidates Wanted!

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Are you (or someone you know) looking to shed pounds, get ripped and or add muscle?

Do you want to have the body of an ultimate fighter… an NFL wide receiver… or maybe the sculpted physique of an NBA basketball player?

I am currently looking for two (2) people interested in free fitness and diet coaching for 3 months in exchange for a case study. The case study will include before and after photos and a written summary of your starting situation and the results experienced.

Any interested parties should contact me through this blog. Please take a minute to register and send me an email or make a post requesting consideration.

This is not only a great opportunity for free coaching, it’s an opportunity to change your health and your life.

Full details to follow after receiving your inquiry.

Thank you in advance!

-Bob

This Fitness Blog’s Mission, Should You Decide to Accept It…

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

First and foremost, the purpose of this blog is to record my ongoing thoughts, goals, achievements, mentors, training experiments and training ideas into a single document accessible on the Web.

For far too long, I’ve been journaling the old fashioned way – in a spiral bound note book. I have hundreds of pages of notes, many of which will never make it into digital form, as was originally intended. That’s disappointing to me…because there is a lot of good real world fitness and training info in my old notebooks.

On the positive side, the blogging software I’m now using makes capturing and publishing a breeze! I really wish I had started digitally recording my fitness journeys earlier than 2008.

At any rate, this is what you can expect from this fitness blog:

  1. Honest, actionable fitness information for creating your best body ever!
  2. Help readers create the “pro athlete body” they desire….even if you’re starting from scratch. Maybe you’re seeking the powerful physique of an Ultimate Fighter, a pro football player, a fitness athlete / model or possibly the ripped, chiseled look of a pro basketball player.
  3. Exactly how I lost 30 lbs in 4 months and now have a body which is the envy of most 20 year olds! (Pssst: I’ll be 43 this June, and I look 10 years younger than my age)
  4. Powerful training ideas and strategies used by NFL football players, NBA ballers, Ultimate Fighters (mixed martial artists) and many other professional athletes.
  5. Idea exchanges where users can meet, discuss, seek out advice or simply argue their favorite theories on health and fitness.
  6. Interviews, commentary and tips from Professional Athletic Directors and Trainers, whose job it is to turn average bodies into Pro Athlete bodies!
  7. Occasional interviews with professional athletes
  8. And much more…

Stay tuned folks, this thing is just getting started! If you love fitness, or if you just want to have a great body in the shortest time possible, then this is the place to turn to moving forward.
