Seriously Outnumbered!
Hi, I'm belton, one of the few men posting in the VF community. Since I've taken the liberty of posting opinions and starting new threads on VF recently, I think that I should do the courtesy of introducing myself.
Being a male posting to these forums, I can tell that my early posts are met with some skepticism, perhaps some thinking that I'm a spammer. Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. I'm a 44-year old musician with a passion for fitness. Belton, by the way, is my dog's name. He hangs out with me while I'm doing tedious music editing on the computer. This is me: http://www.andydewitt.com While the majority of my workouts are with free weights and don't involve videos, I think that workout videos can be a valuable tool and not gender specific. Specifically, I have a number of Cathe Friedrich videos and think that they would present a challenge to anyone. I also think that kickboxing and power yoga videos are very useful. Like most of you, my goal is to keep improving my fitness level. It's not a lot of fun to just "maintain" a level of fitness. Many people that I meet think that I'm ten or fifteen years younger than I am, which is a result of my serious attention to fitness and nutrition. Yes, I learned weightlifting the "old school" way, but I think it's important to keep an open mind to new ideas. And yes, I'm skeptical whenever someone releases a new piece of fitness equipment that's accompanied by a set of four videos. All that said, I hope that I can contribute something to this forum with a unique perspective. Thanks. Andy (belton) |
