Just so you know I’m not just some random guy that wanted to start interviewing fitness and health folks , I’ll tell you a brief background of my “fitness & health life”.
I was a runner in high school, I ran cross country and had a blast, so I can talk about running.
During college, I started working out in the gym, barely able to lift the bar off my chest when I bench pressed. I kept at it and started working out with some of the college football players. (I didn’t play football).
After college, I was hitting the gym 6 days a week with a bunch of buddies. We were not working out for anything other than to hang out with each other and try to outdo each other. We had some intense workouts because no one wanted to leave until we out did each other. You can just imagine how that was. Because if this, we had to have an understanding of free weights so we wouldn’t get hurt doing some of these crazy workouts.
I also was an avid bike rider and actually road raced for one summer.
After that, I joined a national gym (Bally’s) and for the next 10+ years, I was a regular in the weight room. So, when I say I was a gym-rat, I was a gym-rat. I’ve lifted weights with some pretty serious folks, did some crazy workouts and had fun while doing them.
My father has had heart problems most of my life (including open heart surgery) so my mother learned to cook healthy and passed that knowledge on to my sister and me, so we understand healthy eating as well.
During the last few years, I’ve became good friends with a Virtual Personal Trainer who has accolades like you wouldn’t believe and I’ve learned a lot from her as well. She’s also my “go-to-girl” when I’m in search of some deep down knowledge or just to confirm what I’m talking about.
I say this not to brag, but to let you know I’ve been around this health and fitness stuff for a while.
If you have any questions, or want to know more about me, send me an email and we'll see what we can do.
Until then, enjoy the site!
Ciao!
Andrew
