"You can do it. We can
help."
If youve ever watched those home-renovation programs
on nighttime TV, you must have seen at least one Home Depot commercial and heard their
slogan, "You can do it. We can help." Home Depot has been promoting themselves
as a one-stop shop for home renovations, offering a wide selection of products along with
services so you can remodel your home just the way you want.
My vision for SeriousAboutFitness.com is similar, although
were not all that interested in selling you products except for the small selection
we have in our "Shop" section. I see SeriousAboutFitness.com as your one-stop
resource for remodeling your body to be just the way you want it. Just like at Home Depot,
you can do it, and we want to help.
For example, each month in this "Focus" section
youll find articles on a wide variety of topics, from motivational stories to
opinion pieces to other tidbits of information, all to help you keep on track and focused
on your success. The "Detail" section is all about training and exercising the
best way possible to help you achieve your goals. In "Detail" youll find
articles about exercises and workout routines that will help you custom-build the body you
want. "People" is there to let you know how others are doing and to give you
insight into the minds of other women who, we feel, are a success, whether its in
competition or for some other reason. "Edge," as always, will be filled with
cutting-edge reports on nutrition and health, contest coverage, and much more.
"Edge" is really a grab-bag of great information. "Recipes," a section
we just added this year, will continue to be filled with great-tasting, easy-to-prepare,
healthy recipes to help you eat better and achieve your goals faster. Finally,
"Letters" is where youll hear from our readers, and "Shop" is a
place to browse through products that we think will help you with your fitness journey.
As you can see, SeriousAboutFitness.com is a diverse
resource that really can help you achieve your goals. Whats more, were real
always have been, always will be. Since the beginning weve felt it important
to provide meaningful information and programs that actually work, not some fluff written
by someone who has never even tried to do these things. So, building on that theme,
starting next month well begin a series of articles on Natalie Waples, a beautiful,
all-natural, Canadian-based fitness model who has just started on her path to be a
topnotch figure competitor. Natalie won her first figure show after just two and a half
months of preparation!
So how did Natalie make such a transformation in such a
short time? Can you do it too? Where do you even start? Dont worry, youll find
out. As we told Natalie just a few months ago, "You can do it. We can help."
Now, thats what were telling you, too.
