New Free Fitness Tips Blog Design

Hello everyone.  As regular readers may have noticed the appearance of this blog has changed over the last few days.  The reason for this is that I have changed my blog theme to one that I believe is much more attractive and easy on the eye.  Instead of having all the content in one long list (as was the case with my old theme) the blog is now divided into separate sections on the homepage.  It also now has a featured section at the top of the blog which allows me to highlight some of my favourite articles to readers.  The content is still exactly the same.  It’s just presented in a different (and hopefully much better) way.

You can view my latest blog posts in the ‘Latest Posts’ section of the homepage or by using the recent posts section of the sidebar.  You can also access all the blog categories using the ‘Categories’ section of the sidebar.  I hope you like the new blog design as much as me.  If you have any suggestions or feedback regarding the new design I would love to hear from you.  Just leave me a comment and I will do my best to take it on board and make any recommended changes.

I’ve received an Arte Y Pico Award

Hello everyone. I recently found out that I am the recipient of an Arte Y Pico award from not one but two bloggers. The first of these two bloggers is Angie from Vibrant Healthy U, an excellent health and fitness blog with some great post including this unique offering; The Eyes Have It. The second award came from Asithi of Small Steps to Health, another great health blog which I enjoy reading even though I don’t always share the same opinions as Asithi on certain topics – for example milk. Anyway, thankyou both for the award. One of the most rewarding things about running this blog is receiving comments and recognition from others.

Anyway, the rules of this award are as follows:

1) Select five blogs that you consider deserving of the award.

2) Include the name of the author and a link to the blog, for each award designated.

3) Award winner must display the award graphic and name the blogger that bestowed the award on them.

4) Include a link to the Arte Y Pico blog, in order to share the origin of the award.

I’ve already completed steps 3 and 4 so all that’s left is to pass the award on to five more bloggers. Here’s my top five:

1) The Fitness Black Book:- This is a fitness blog written by Rusty which (in his own words) shows you how to get ‘Lean and Toned, Not Bulky’. There are two big things I like about Rusty’s blog. First, his posts on fit celebrities really allow you to see the look he is trying to achieve. Secondly, the blog is actually quite funny too.

2) The All Muscle Building Blog:- This blog is quite a new one on my reading list and is written by Pat. The posts are generally short but always full of useful information. Lots of the stuff I’ve read on Pat’s blog was completely new to me which one of the reasons that I have become a regular reader.

3) Anti-Aging Nutrtion News:- Although I’m only in my early twenties I’ve still found this blog by GiGi to be one of my regular reads. The nutritional information GiGi provides is top notch and her posts have given me the lowdown on some very healthy foods that I was completely unaware of prior to reading.

4) Muscle Post:- Another great blog on muscle building from Tony. Again this is a new blog but one which I read regularly. The focus of Tony’s blog is on exercises which build muscles and he has provided some great tips which I can carry over to the gym.

5) Health Nut Wannabee Mom:- This is a great blog from Heidi. She updates most days with the focus being on nutrition. The best thing about Heidi’s blog is that the tips are easy to follow, practical and suitable for normal, everyday people.

Thanks to everyone for the award and well done to the five bloggers who I have passed the award on to. I wish you continued success with your blogs and hope to be a long time reader of each of them.

Fitness Poll – March 2008

I’ve just added a new March 2008 Fitness Tips Poll to The Free Fitness Tips Squidoo Lens. This month’s poll covers the topic of protein shakes and asks the simple question; ‘Do you currently use Protein Supplements?’ I didn’t get any responses to the first poll so let’s try and build upon that this time around. It only takes a second to vote and I really value your opinion.

New Fitness Poll

Hello everyone. As I announced in January I have created the Free Fitness Tips Squidoo Lens and plan to keep you updated of all the latest developments via this blog. Well I have some news for you. I’ve just added the first Fitness Poll to the lens. I plan to have these polls every month to get a general opinion on the fitness issues I discuss on this blog.

The Fitness Poll on February 2008 asks the question “Are you happy with your current physique?” I’d really like to hear your responses on this subject. If you head over to the Free Fitness Tips Squidoo Lens using the link below you can register your opinion on the topic.

Announcing…The Free Fitness Tips Squidoo Lens

Hello Everyone,

I hope your enjoying the Free Fitness Tips Blog and the Free Fitness Tips Email Course (if not sign up using the form at the top right corner of this blog). Hopefully with this information you can make 2008 the year you achieve your fitness goals.

Anyway as you can probably guess from the title I’m making this post to announce the Free Fitness Tips Squidoo Lens. I’ve already created the Free Fitness Tips Website, the Free Fitness Tips Blog and the Free Fitness Tips Email Course and squidoo lenses seem to be all the rage at the moment so I thought I’d try my hand at it. If you’ve never heard of squidoo before let me explain it a little further (even though I’m no expert myself). Squidoo is a website which lets you create your own lens (a personal page similar to a blog) on any topic you desire. The Free Fitness Tips Squidoo Lens contains a summary of most of the information on this blog plus links to other fitness resources and some great fitness products. In the future I plan to add more to the lens, including videos and polls, and I will keep you updated on how the lens develops. Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think by posting a comment here on the blog or by posting one on the lens.
