Blake’s Blog Topic

For my blog topic I will be covering in Com 210, I’ve decided to choose a lifestyle blog which includes healthy living and my dedication to the gym this year. The reason I want to cover these topics are because they’ve both been very important to me starting last summer, and I feel like I would be a good role model to cover them. Unlike others who are extremely fit, I’m working my way to my goals, and I’m pretty much starting from nothing. Going to the gym has been very important to me over these last couple months, and if I have to create a blog around it, it’d only give me more motivation to go. Also, after each time I go to the gym, I feel healthier, happier, and more productive which is a great way to feel in life.  

My goal is to persuade others to follow their fitness dreams and show people that anyone can do it. I plan on collecting material for my blogs by going to the gym and having my roommate take photos/videos, and I plan on creating videos myself of how to stay dedicated to a healthier lifestyle. Some ideas I have for future projects include creating a video/photo slide show of the beginning to end results. Although I only have a semester for improvement, and not too much time to grow physically, I plan on increasing strength before the end of the first semester. Another idea I have for my future unit projects includes a list of ways to stay healthy including a healthy grocery list I created, and maybe some exercises I personally enjoy the most. These photos and videos will be critical to showing others the routes to staying on a healthy grind and working hard. Another idea I’m thinking about would be creating an audio of me motivating others to get out of their comfort zone and build up their own confidence. A motivational speech or audio would defiantly be able to get some people to go out and maybe hit the gym for the first time, and maybe change some people’s lifestyles into a more healthy, happy, and confident way of living.

@Fullsendfitness on instagram is a fitness page I enjoy because one of the first people to motivate me is Kyle from Nelk, and when I look at him he reminds me of myself a lot so it’s nice to watch him grow physically, and it motivates me extra.

“Fat meets fire” on YouTube is a page about this guy who use to be super out of shape and transformed himself to be super fit. I like this page since it shows hard work and dedication over time can pay off

The famous Gordon Ramsey is another person who’s inspired me to be healthier. The reason for this is because he always is cooking good healthy food, and aside from the whole working out, I’m working on eating healthier and learning how to cook good meals to improve my overall calorie intake
