Fifteen years ago, I walked into a gym for the first time. It was supposed to be a life-changing moment.
Just twenty minutes later, I walked out.
I tried again a week later, visiting a new facility, and left even sooner. The truth is, I tried many times to begin a fitness program. And over and over again, I failed. Looking back, I can see that it was a cocktail of bad decisions that made transforming my body much more difficult than it needed to be. Maybe I was too stubborn. Maybe I was too weak. I do know for certain that I wasn't prepared.
Two years after I first walked into the world of iron and protein, I finally found my way. The gym has been a part of my life ever since. Now it's my turn to pay it forward.
I'll be honest—and this probably won't come as a surprise to many of you—there's a lot of bad information that makes starting a new program overly complicated. I've seen people fall for that bad information over and over. It's not pretty. Yes, it's great to have options, but when you have too many, it's hard to determine the best route.
