Ask an Expert: All About Fitness Success and Failure

Ask an Expert: All About Fitness Success and FailureHey everyone, I'm Dick Talens. I'm the co-founder of Fitocracy and a nutritional/fitness coach who specializes in helping people with very little time achieve their fitness goals. By this time of year, the largest drop off in exercise activity happens as New Year's resolutions start to go out the window. We start with high hopes and end up abandoning our goals. The most cited reason that people fail is because they don't have time, which is where my expertise comes in.

Fitness wasn't always a big part of my life. In fact as a chubby kid, merely looking at a cookie would cause me to gain weight. This problem finally culminated in my teenage years when, after a summer of 15 hours/day playing Everquest, I found myself at 230 lbs. At this point, I did what any geek would do and spent hundreds of hours researching fitness. I put that research into practice by becoming an amateur competitive bodybuilder only a short time later. Because of my background (i.e. previously hating exercise) and current lifestyle of working 80+ hour weeks, I specializes in two things?helping people "re-wire" their brains to love fitness and achieve maximum fitness ROI. I believe that with the right foundation, fitness is attainable for anyone. I'm here for the next hour talking fitness success and failure, focusing on the specifics of why you've failed and how to turn it around. Let's do it!
