It doesn’t seem possible, but we have been writing this column for one year now. Time flies when you’re having fun, and I’m having a blast writing this column every week.
I usually start writing the article every Friday night, but sometimes it’s Sunday night before I get to it. I think about the next week’s topic all week long. Looking at the questions people have asked and thinking what knowledge I could share with the readers.
We have discussed numerous topics over the past 52 weeks. Here are the topics: Lewellen and Morgan qualify for Mr./Ms. USA, Three ways to improve your metabolism, what should I eat to lose weight, the importance of eating a balanced diet, keeping the odds in your favor, importance of a balanced program, showing your body something new each workout, keeping your metabolism burning like a bonfire, supplements can help you reach your fitness goals, Age means nothing when it comes to exercise, fitness goals sometimes take a back seat during the holidays, how to stick with your new year’s resolution, the key to living healthy is balance, training intensely is the key to weight training, 10 steps to ensure your training correctly at the gym, the best times of day to workout, Shawna and I’s workout schedule, Shawna sends audition tape to American Gladiators, tips and tricks to stay on track, the process of building muscle, change can be good and bad, you have to surprise your muscles, quit thinking about it and do it, exercise and healthy eating isn’t a destination it’s a journey, always work every body part equally, keeping your workout session in the optimal training zone, consistency, just do it, three main ingredients for handling stress, 10 step checklist to compete in bodybuilding, motivational quotes to help with goals, everyone has time to workout, you can’t spot reduce problem areas, if you want to change, the first step is to believe, the five minute cardio and 20 minute lifting routine, rehabbing an injury, parent worried about their daughters eating habits, start your day with five minute workout, ways of losing weight, myths or facts, bodybuilders get asked to join professional team, mistakes people make when trying to gain, anabolic in short means growth, exercise increases your energy level.
Those were the majority of the topics we discussed the past year. As you can see, the topics cover almost all of the basic rules you need to know to start making progress and keep making progress. If any of the topics interest you and you would like to read the article or personally talk to me about it feel free to stop by Iron Dreams Fitness and I’ll be thrilled to help you.
To celebrate successfully writing a question and answer article for one full year I’m having a membership special that everyone can take advantage of. Single year $100, couple year $150, family year $200. That’s a deal!
Thanks so much to everyone who has asked a question or has read the weekly article. I’m excited about the next year and hope that if you have a question that you will ask it and then actually “act” upon it. Everyone needs exercise and healthy eating. The consequences of neglecting those two will be injury and sickness, it’s just a matter of time.
Remember the basics work for everybody all of the time!
