Charlie Hunnam or better known as King Arthur

 There is a huge misconception in the world that the actors we see on TV or in movies are the way they look because they have access to better gyms, trainers, and diets than we do.  I think a great example of how this misconception is wrong is by looking at the actor Charlie Hunnam.  If you do not know who this is, he is probably best known for being King Arthur in King Arthur Legend of the Sword and also Jax Teller in Sons of Anarchy.  The reason why I am bringing him up is that he does not have a trainer or use the fanciest weights.  He said in multiple interviews that he works out by body weight.  Some of the things that he does are:

  • push-ups
  • sit-ups
  • squats
  • planks 
  • wall sits
  • dips
  • twenty minutes of cardio
These are all workouts that don't require a gym.  Now I want you to get a mental image of what you think he looks like, after you have done that just use a quick google search and look for him.  He is a perfect example of what can be done with body weight alone.  

    The next thing that I want to look at about him is his diet.  I think it is commonly known that if you want to get a good body you cannot eat McDonald's and chocolate for every meal.  So it is important to look at what he eats for a day.  One thing that he makes sure he eats is a lot of protein.  So usually he has fruits and some eggs for breakfast, which is then followed by a protein shake.  Then he will usually eat more protein for lunch and dinner which can be chicken breast or beef with some vegetables, brown rice, or even sweet potatoes.  This is not a crazy expensive diet or something unfeasible for anyone to complete.  Also, this is enough food that you will not be feeling hungry during the day.  

The most important thing that we can learn from Charlie though is to make sure you get some type of workout in.  In many of the articles you read about him, you will see that he was acting for 14-15 hours a day sometimes and would still find time to get his workout in.  He got his physique by wanting it and I think that is an important lesson to learn.

The Fitness Industry Will Take a Hit with the Urge to get out of your Home

 One thing that I hate to admit, but I believe will happen is people are going to stop working out or give up their fitness journey.  My first reason for believing this is due to the fact that the lockdown from Covid is finally coming to a close so people are starting to travel more, work at an office again, or even go hang out with friends.  These reasons listed above are going to take away from the free time that we all had during the pandemic and I think that this will be the cause of a decline in working out.  During Covid, everyone had nothing else better to do, but now people are going to want to get out of their house and will have less time for something like working out.   This prediction of people not working out as much is a reason I wanted to start this blog as well.  I want people to continue their fitness journey and continue to exercise frequently and that is why I have given some tips on how to work out fast and without any of the pain ...

What if every gym offered free personal trainers?

  If every gym offered free personal trainers for the first few months, would there be more people working out?  Would this cause the gym industry to boom because they would get more membership fees, but more people would begin working out.  I believe that all beginners to the industry would start going to gyms because they would feel more comfortable with someone helping them.  I also think that this would bring more money to the gym because they would have more customers.  As well as this, I think only beginners would use personal trainers.  This would encourage people to get to the gym and start working out.  I think that there would be less health implications in the world as well because people would be in better shape.  If people are in better shape, the food industry will also boom because people will start worrying about what they put into their bodies.  If people are also healthier, then the healthcare industry could take a small hit...
