This past week was the busiest week in the history of Nerd Fitness!
This makes me happy; not because the numbers are up, but because there are more people interested with getting in shape. With traffic increasing and new people stumbling across the site each day, I just want to make sure everybody is here for the right reasons.
First and foremost: I’m no bodybuilder. I have no desire to be a bodybuilder. I don’t even want to look like a bodybuilder! I don’t have extensive knowledge of every supplement out there, and I don’t have time to spend three hours in the gym every day. There are certainly plenty of sites out there dedicated to bodybuilders and how to become one; if that’s your passion you can find all the information you need there. Some of the posts here might help you, but most will be too basic for you and you’ll want to find more hardcore instruction elsewhere (which is fine).
If you want to get skinny quick or get huge quick, this isn’t the site for you. Any site that promises fast results for only five payments of $59.99 is only after your money and will make these promises to get you to impulse-buy their product. Life doesn’t work this way, and neither does fitness. There’s no miracle plan: it takes hard work, strong will, and determination.
If you want controversial diet suggestions, three- hour gym routines, and advice on which crazy supplements will cut corners for you, this site isn’t for you. I don’t take a lot of supplements, I try to get in and out of the gym as quickly as possible, and I won’t promote a diet or practice unless it’s something I’ve actually done myself or has been proven by scientific research.
I have a full time job, I have a great group of friends, I have a lot of hobbies and passions, and I have this blog. I’m really just a guy who wants to stay in shape and help others do the same.
Let me tell you what Nerd Fitness is:
- A site for people who want to get in shape but don’t know where to begin.
- A site for people already in shape who want to better themselves in all aspects of life.
- A site for people who don’t have all day to dedicate to fitness.
- A site that preaches personal responsibility and accountability.
- A site for those who want to get in shape the safe, fun, and healthy way.
- A site for people who want to help others reach their goals.
There’s a lot of bad fitness sites out there, and a lot of sites that are only after your wallet. Most of them look like terrible infomercials with unrealistic promises and “buy now!” schemes, followed by endless “but wait there’s more” pop up windows. They drive me nuts, and make me think that the site could care less about me as a person. I won’t make these promises because I know fitness isn’t an overnight success. I take a lot of pride in being honest and having integrity; I won’t compromise either on this site because it’s not worth it to me.
What do you get out of this site? What do you want to get out of this site? Shoot me an email at [email protected] and let me know how I can help you. As traffic picks up, it will certainly take longer to get back to my readers (due to also having the full time job), but I promise I’ll respond as quickly as possible with the level of attention you deserve.
Thanks for reading!
