The Average Joe Fitness

Who am I? I’m that guy who has strug­gled with his weight for most of his life. I’m that per­son that no mat­ter how hard I tried, found it dif­fi­cult to keep his waist size down. After col­lege, I’m the per­son who took a desk job that com­mands 8 – 10 hours of their day. I’m that per­son who enjoys being active and work­ing out, but can never seem to find a way to have his body reflect that effort. I’m that per­son who is always look­ing for ways to eat well, but will splurge when appro­pri­ate. I guess I’m your Aver­age Joe.

For the longest time it seemed that when I would search for infor­ma­tion all I would find were the dead ends and empty promises of gim­micks. I’ve, at times, suc­cumbed to the hype of those “Quick and Easy” weight loss solu­tions. I’ve tried dif­fer­ent diets. But at the end of it all, I was back where I started, or heavier.

I’ve started this site with the goal of shar­ing nutri­tional infor­ma­tion and fit­ness tips that I have learned from research, talk­ing to oth­ers as well as trial and error on my part. I’m not a doc­tor, nutri­tion­ist, pro­fes­sional trainer or gym rat. I only spend about an hour work­ing out.

The infor­ma­tion I want to share here is for those look­ing to feel good, look good and have a great work­out, but are still an Aver­age Joe like me. You don’t need to be a nutri­tion­ist to learn how to eat well as well as be a pro­fes­sional trainer to have a good work­out.

I came up with the address ExplodeYourWorkout.com as a funny take on some of the hype and tag lines you find on the pack­ag­ing of work­out and body­build­ing sup­ple­ments and products.

Again, I can’t stress enough, I’m no “pro­fes­sional” when it comes to this mate­r­ial. I’m just shar­ing my per­sonal fit­ness story. Feel free to join the con­ver­sa­tion and share yours.
