MY FAVORITE 15 FITNESS FAQs

As I mentioned in my very first blog post, I’ve been training (gym) for a little while now. Over 10 years.

Throughout the years I’ve learned a lot. It’s been a pretty exciting journey. I still remember my very first workout. The struggle and the soreness the following morning…

I also remember the millions of questions I had for my first trainer. He must have found me pretty annoying. At a glance training seemed basic to me, but the more I learned, the more I realized how scientific it really was.

You know, I still enjoy working out, but I find myself loosing motivation from time to time. After having reached one goal, then another, then another after that, there is only so much you can do I find. What I’m doing to keep myself motivated these days is  help/mentor my friend’s brother; show him the ropes. I really like it. He now asks himself the same questions I used to ask myself when I began. He also lets me in on his friends’ questions as well.

Obviously, there are recurring questions among fitness newcomers. There also are recurring questions among the initiated as well.

I thought it would be interesting to let you know what my favorite fitness questions are.
