Why This Blog

Great, another fitness blog.

Another person pushing products, gym memberships, exercise gear, supplements, etc.

Another person promising amazing results with minimal efforts.

Well, not here. Not from me. I'm going to tell you all a different story about how to achieve your fitness goals. And, because I don't promise 90-day results, nor will I hit you up for cash, most people will ignore my wisdom. That's a shame, because I believe my story is one that could be easily replicated by millions of overweight, out-of-shape Americans looking for a new lease on life.

I did it. You can too!

No magic formula, secret exercise program, hip hop music. No, in this blog you'll be encouraged to eat sensibly, exercise A LOT, and stick to a plan. There are no shortcuts to fitness. No easy ways to lose weight. However, if I could go from an out-of-shape fatty to a guy placing fourth in a triathlon, who has not another pound to lose in SIX MONTHS, then it's true that dramatic results are possible in a short period of time.

How did I do it?

Three keys: 1. Portion control; 2. Five hours or more of vigorous exercise a week; 3. Changing your eating patterns (e.g. eat a breakfast with fresh fruit EVERY DAY, no eating after 8 p.m., deserts only twice a week).

You're probably shaking your head saying, "That's it?" Yep, that's it. I will explain the keys in more detail in later posts. But, this is a good place to start.

I did it. You can do it, too!
