Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is this Site all about?

It promotes and encourages practical and 'sensible' ways for the 'average everyday person' to achieve an excellent physical condition.

2. Who is an average everyday person and what can they hope to gain from the 'Sensible Health and Fitness' training techniques?

While not intending to over-generalize, the term simply refers to ordinary people who have one or more of the following: a job, home, perhaps a child or two (or more), family commitments, a social life, work deadlines, or who travel. People who have decided that they are no longer content with an overweight or average condition, and who are committed to changing this while continuing to lead, as far as possible, a normal conventional lifestyle.

3. What makes this Website’s angle on health-related-fitness and physical training different from others?

Unlike so many websites, books, magazines, or any other media, Sensible Health-Related Fitness.com does NOT make unrealistic promises, like for example like: “this could be you (referring to a photograph containing a lean and muscle-bound person), or “pack on 30 lbs in three weeks in just 5 minutes a day”, and so forth. Flashy punch lines like these, ads or media covers are often selling you graphic concepts which too often turn out to be unfounded claims.

These blanket approaches where sellers imply that anyone can look like the massive ripped specimens in their marketing photos, does NOT take into account vital factors like individual health condition, genetic predisposition or muscle-building potential, to name a few. Any one-size-fits-all concept risks being flawed from the outset. Anabolism, although possible, is not as easy as it is so often publicized.

4. What are the 'Sensible Health-Related Fitness' programs in a nutshell?

They are practical fitness workouts supported by effective yet enjoyable eating plans. Besides contributing to all-round wellbeing, following the related workout routines allows one to sensibly and steadily gain muscle mass. This approach is by far also the best way to lose weight because it is not a dramatic but rather stable process.

Naturally people often look for quick-fix ways which they hope will show them how to lose weight fast. This can be achieved in the short-term by employing drastic measures. However it is not necessarily these 'easy ways to lose weight' programs which allow one to bring out one’s true health and physical potential, let alone KEEP the weight off. Nor will they make it easy to build muscle, or afford good muscle tone.

5. Are there health and fitness merchants out there that can be trusted?

Yes there are, but you need to be wise and make informed decisions so you interact with those who not only take their interests but also yours into account. Too often, people are seduced into a sale with all sorts of promises and too quickly get in over their heads and acquire a product or service that at best delivers short of their hopes and expectations.

Rest assured, like you I’ve read and come across thousands of hard-sell statements in the fitness industry. I also made my share of mistakes and bad choices and spent lots of well-earned money with little to show for. In the process, I experienced first-hand that claims like I mentioned above, are frequently unfounded and unethical, and don’t always work for just ‘anyone’.

One may argue that such vendors guarantee “your money back if not entirely satisfied”. I am certain that if you ever tried a program or dietary supplement that did not deliver promised results, and then asked for your money back - you will have been given the run-around, and all kinds of creative disclaimers pointing to fine print you never knew existed or weren’t aware of, or MADE aware of. Some vendors will use excuses like, “you’re perhaps not genetically predisposed enough to shaping up”, or “maybe you’re not following the program closely enough”. Whatever justification is used, if you are not sufficiently knowledgeable in the field of health, fitness and nutrition, you are a 'sitting duck', unless you are in the hands of a committed, caring and honest trainer or advisor.

So the answer is a simple warning - if you are not informed enough and willing to pay good money to any health and fitness commodity with a clever tagline or snazzy packaging, you WILL be ripped off!

One stands to gain only from honest fitness programs which promote realistically achievable results alongside a practical commonsense approach. That way you are able to learn real vital things about yourself and progress without being blindsided by false belief or naive impressions.

6. I’ve read about many bodybuilding and physical transformation programs - how achievable are the sensible health related fitness programs, REALLY?

Whether training with me, under the guidance of a personal trainer, or following the training principles available on this Site, no body-transformation will not be a 'walk in the park', but it will certainly become easier as you proceed. This might sound daunting but don’t be put off. The programs become easier to maintain as you get acquainted with the nutrition plans, workout routines, and as you progress.

Following the prescribed plans diligently will furthermore ensure a sense of routine, which is essential for maintaining focus and consistency.

7. What is different about Sensible Health-Related Fitness.com compared to other Sites?

3 important things which interested individuals or newcomers to the health and fitness foray deserve:

HONESTY - TRANSPARENCY - SUPPORT – and no empty claims.

My work, products and services I provide are not part of any get-rich-quick scam. I am neither rehashing anyone else’s work in re-packaged form, nor distributing electronic media of others under my name. All literature and images contained in the Site or distributed are my own and contain pictures of myself, unless otherwise referenced or specified.

What I provide is valuable insight from my own hands-on experience. My intention is to guide and enable users to learn about their individual adaptability and response potential to physical exercise and revised nutrition/lifestyle.

8. Why use the 'Sensible Health-Related Fitness' techniques?

Because they are time-efficient, practical and realistic, and allow average everyday people to realize their true physical fitness potential. Unless you live on your own and do not hold down a job (because you don’t need to), have large sums of money and appoint a full-time personal trainer and dietician to arrange and prepare your exercise routines and meals (not to mention monitor and correct your progress where required).

The Sensible Health-Related Fitness approach is ideal for that average anyone who is serious about getting into shape but never really knew how or where to start - or who to approach.

9. Why can one not afford NOT to be interested

Think of the possibility of being in excellent physical shape as your untapped potential going to waste. The advantages of exercising and the positive spin-offs of good physical health are numerous. The benefits of exercise impact on all areas of your life.

And if you think age has anything to do with it remember that nobody is too old to start exercising. Once you fully realize the importance of this and internalize what it means, you will literally sit up with a fright and wonder why you hadn’t started sooner.

10. Ignore this last point at your peril!

Nothing good or exceptional comes without sacrifice. One can easily take on a challenge to change but 'actually' succeeding depends on how badly you want to. However, the satisfaction and sense of pride you'll ultimately feel with your transformed condition and the success you garner from this will be amazing and deservedly yours. In other words, do not squander the opportunity for success!
