Another fitness blog? Oh no!

Fit … Healthy … Alive!

Greetings!

Yes, here comes another fitness blog! :-)

Hopefully, though, this blog will take a different direction than others out there. Entries in this blog will have three significant aspects:

  • For beginners: we all start somewhere. And getting started is the hardest part of it all. In these entries I want to help those that are struggling to get started or that are just starting the journey. And becoming fit, indeed, is a journey, not a destination. I look forward to sharing the road with you!
  • Minimalistic: over the last few years I have realized that you need very little to be fit. I will share the basic tools with you. For the most part, they are free or very inexpensive. 
  • Balanced: my road to fitness involved a slow but significant re-balancing of various aspects of life. In short, fitness comes from balancing activity, nutrition, and rest. Without these three pillars fitness is impossible. That is why "diets" fail most of us: they only focus on one area (eating). You also cannot exercise your way into fitness if you continue eating poorly. Finally, our bodies need rest in order to be fit. We now know that not enough sleep (and other types of rest) will lead to disease.

Please remember the old saying: a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Fitness is the path to health and happiness for many. It definitely has been for me!
