Friday Fitness Thoughts – Your Thoughts Wanted

I’ve been writing the Fitness blog here for more than seven months. I actually got started on writing this Fitness blog in November of 2005. It’s hard to believe that it was nine months ago that I began this journey with Families.com after submitting my information and resume along with my list of ideas for writing about fitness.

Those of you who may read my blogs on a regular basis may have seen me bounce around to the various different topics and currently I write regularly for the Marriage and Baby blogs, though I have done a lot of work over in Weight Loss. My goals when I began this Fitness blog were to help people find the love for fitness and exercise that I had discovered.

There are so many ways we can incorporate fitness into our lives and I’ve ridden the ups and the downs. I’ve achieved goals. I’ve fallen off the horse. I’ve gotten back on. I know what I love and what I enjoy. I try to check out everything I talk about personally – that’s part of why I don’t review as much exercise equipment as I would like – I don’t always have time to get out and check it out.

The Next Nine Months

I like to think of this blog as a joint effort, I write, you read and you comment and I write some more. I’ve answered questions. I’ve engaged in discussions and I’ve done research and interviews and reviews. I even supported a thirty day workout program back in April.

Today, I’d like to ask you for your feedback. I’d like to ask you what you want to see more of here. What do you want to read about? What exercises would you like to know more on? What fitness videos, DVDs or products would you like to see reviewed?

The first nine months brought us to where we are today – the next nine months are all about my readers and our visitors here at the Fitness blog. Talk to me. Tell me what I can do for you.

I can’t wait to hear from you.
