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 Problems with Exercise Equipment in Particular Hammer Strength

There are many reasons people do not work out, however, I think that one of the main issues is the price of some of the exercise equipment.  One company in particular that I want to talk about is Hammer Strength.  This company is overpriced machinery and yet you still see their products everywhere.  Here are just a few of the machines or pieces of equipment with their price point: Hammer Strength Olympic Flat Bench ($2,249) Hammer Strength VKR Vertical Knee Raise ($1549)  This is a product that I think you could build with stuff laying around your house Fixed Barbell set 20-60 pounds ($1549) These prices are absolutely absurd and a company like this can build these machines for a fraction of the price and then up-charge like crazy.  As well as this, you think if you were to spend that much money on a piece of equipment, you would get it in a few days.  No, it will take at least two weeks and could even be four.   The main product that caught me by...

My story about Exercising Again and How I overcome the difficulties in front of me

 This post is going to be a little bit different and tell the story of what happened to me and why I started to exercise.  I hope my story will push you to work out or show you how it is possible to lose weight. I think it is important to mention that in High School, I was always playing sports or working out so when Covid first hit I did not know what to do.  I was in college and was liked in our apartment with nothing to do.  So what do all college kids do?  We were playing video games all day and then on the weekends would start to drink.  These two things do not go well with each other when you are not having any sort of physical activity.  So, this was on for a few months, and I hadn't noticed any change until I stepped on the scale.  This was the heaviest I have ever been in my life and I was in really good shape at one point and was very muscular.  So I knew I had to do something about this.  Two things really motivated me to work...
