A Brief Discussion of “The Look” (And How to Get It) | Fitocracy …

March 11, 2013

Posted by John Romaniello on Mar 11, 2013AestheticsWhen it comes to training for aesthetic purposes, just about everyone wants “the look.” That well developed, well proportioned silhouette of a tight waist that’s emphasized all the more by broad shoulders. Strong legs and large calves, muscular arms, and all the rest.That’s true of everyone, I think, even if they’re not into fitness. It certainly was for me. Way back before I got involved in training, I was a chubby kid with a lot of comic books who wanted to look like a super hero—because super heroes ALWAYS had the look.I’d venture to say I’m not the first nerd-turned-meathead to have drawn inspiration from a fictional character, whether it’s from a comic book, video game, or cartoon. Which is why I fit in so well on Fitocracy.I’ve often described Fitocracy as being “a fitness site for nerds.” As a card-carrying, Dungeons & Dragons playing, Lord of the Rings tattoo having nerd, I feel that I belong here.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
