When you’re in the writing industry, no one seems to care if your “blog” is a spiral-bound notebook in your top desk drawer. You have to have an online presence, people will say, and you have to write stuff that other people will care about.
Great. Fantastic. All I have to do is write. Writing is what I do. But that left me wondering why people would ever care about anything I have to say. I can’t give you any particularly insightful fashion tips, I can’t tell you what the hottest new band is, and I certainly won’t pretend that I know where the city’s hotspots are.
Other writers will say that you have to write about something you’re passionate about. Again, this left me searching for a passion. Music… meh. Art… not so much. History… I do like Jeopardy, does that count? I would probably have more time to harness a passion, I thought, if I didn’t spend so much time trying to keep my body in balance.
But the more I thought about my passion, the more I realized that keeping my body balanced is my passion. Ever since I can remember I have been fixated on health and fitness; I’ve subscribed to the magazines, googled the calories of every possible food, and attended countless step, resistance, and cardio kickbox classes. Health is what I know, and that knowledge is what I hope to share with you.
To begin my first lesson in health let me just say this: The way your body looks is 50% genetics and 50% diet and fitness. The way you feel, however, is a completely different story. I hope that my following posts will help you feel just a little bit better about yourself and give you just a little bit more energy throughout your daily routines (and hey- if you get that six pack along the way, I don’t think anyone will complain).
