Richard SImmons 'Party Off The Pounds!'

Some of you may be wondering why I posted this and I have an answer. Richard Simons may have been an interesting man to say the least, but he helped so many people. Not only were his workouts gender friendly but he incorporated aerobic fitness which helped pump the heart and added fun upbeat music. His workouts were fairly easy but were great for those who had no motivation to workout or needed a little push.

Richard Simons transformed the bodies of millions of middle aged women and men in the 1980's. His upbeat music and fun routines made people want to get active and his cheery personality made him one of the most popular faces in the fitness industry. He may be a bit of a character, but he was a fitness God. Hope you enjoy!

Remixing Knowledge

In the spirit of doing this blog, I decided that I would check out some other blogs about fitness. I came across one professional fitness trainer who wrote an entire blog about "The Impossible" which was not only the brand of his gear and training but it was created primarily to show the world of bloggers that nothing is impossible. Joel Runyon, the create of this blog and "The Impossible" workout writes about all the things someone who was interested in fitness or becoming healthy would want to know. He begins his blog with reminding readers that being physically fit is a choice in life and once your committed it becomes a lifestyle. His writing was very easy to relate to. He listed many of the reasons we as people make excuses to not work out and then in return lists all the benefits of why you SHOULD work out. It was interesting to learn that it takes eight weeks to get in shape and only two weeks to lose it. I thought his writing was done very well because he kept me engaged and left me wanting to know more about the field. He was professional by telling us about his line of clothing and work out regimen and he even left a page on his blog for his followers to post their own success stories about their fitness miracles or difficulties. He delivered his writing just as if he was talking face to face with me but with more professional language. If I were standing infront of him I would have been very persuaded into whatever he was trying to sell or make me believe. His audience was clearly anyone trying to live a healthy lifestyle and I would say that his purpose was to show others the real importance of what fitness can do to your life style. Overall his blog was well written and well delivered.
