Well Aged Fitness

Here's a video (link below) that I saw a while back when Chris Pratt and his co-stars from Guardians of the Galaxy were doing an interview. A fan ask how many times he hit the gym, my takeaway from his response was, "all you have to do is a few things everyday and remain consistent..." I liked this and here is why. A few things . Typically when someone wants to get in shape they feel like it's all or nothing. They change their diet completely and/or kill themselves at the gym for hours, 7 days a week. That's great if that's something that you can sustain but for most people, they can't. A few things could mean a change in your diet. ie. cutting out certain foods (deep fried food, sugars, unnecessary carbs, etc,.) or adding foods as well , ie. fruits and vegetables.

Welcome. My name is Marvin (Shane to others). I created this fitness blog to hopefully inspire the average person to stop making excuses and start looking to be a better version of themselves. People tend to think they don't have time, or money for fitness. Or maybe they get intimidated by what they see from bodybuilders or personal trainers out there thinking it's way too advanced for them. Or think they need to be a certain type of person for it. Maybe, just maybe, someone like me (working man, husband, papa of 3) could help change your view on what fitness can be.  The name Make It Fit(ness) was actually suggested by a co-worker who understands my mindset towards a healthy lifestyle. It can have several meanings.. 1. Make it fit... into your schedule. Ever heard of 15 mins, 3 times a week? Really it's that simple. "something is better than nothing". I'm a busy man too between work, kids, chores, finishing my basement, and everyday life. If you ...
