Introduction



Personal Introduction

My name is Parks Settle; I have worked and taught at three different private gyms within the last three years. Although, I have primarily trained in boxing/kickboxing, and jiu-jitsu, my knowledge of general workouts in a regular gym has become quite versatile and extensive. I’ve learned to quickly cut weight and put on mass in a safe and healthy way.

Personal Interest

My involvement in mixed martial arts and self defense started around four years ago and quickly became accompanied by a need to be physically fit and strong. Once I began boxing and other weight class based sports, I needed to be able to gain and lose weight quickly but healthily; it is impossible to do this without a well-rounded knowledge of how to work out. This knowledge, luckily for me, was gained quickly because I was surrounded by experienced athletes who helped me learn. Now, I want to do the same for you.

Purpose

I am writing a blog in the effort to instruct and educate those who have little or no knowledge on how to make use of their time in a gym. I am doing this in such a way that should be easy to understand and unintimidating. If you have any interest in going to a gym or working out, this blog should be useful for you. If you already have experience in the gym, chances are you will still be able to learn from this blog. This is going to be a basic yet comprehensive approach to educating you on how to use your time in the gym. By the end of this blog, you should be able to walk into the gym and appear to be an intermediated level gym-goer by the way you use your time and the equipment even if you’ve never set foot in a gym. That, in turn, will give you the ability to gain quicker results and reach whatever fitness goals you may have quicker and do so with confidence.

  1. I'm interested to see if you bring any of your knowledge from kickboxing and martial arts in your blog about working out. I think it'd be pretty interesting to learn some workouts that are also training for those things!

    1. That's a really good idea. I've thought about maybe doing that. I may make that an extra post towards the end of the blog. I love those kinds of workouts.
