My Unfair Fitness Advantage

I have no problem admitting it was very fortunate I started my fitness journey in my mid 20s when I was single with only a part time job and no real responsibilities.

I didn’t have much, but what I did have was a gym membership, money for groceries, and the most valuable asset of all:

Time.

This was my unfair fitness advantage back then.

Having an absurd amount of free time allowed me to put a ton of energy into learning all the principles of diet and training, put in the work, and transform my body from being skinny and fat at the same time…

…to a respectable, lean, moderately muscular physique.

If I were starting from scratch today with a 52 hour per week job, a side biz, 2 beautiful babies under 2 years old, and a dog…

It definitely wouldn’t be so easy.

(I omitted my wife Martha from that list, because all she does is make my life easier)

However…

Knowing what I know now…

It would still be more than possible.

I’ve been able to boil down the core concepts in a way that’s so easy to understand and follow that not only have I been able to stay in shape without really thinking about it…
