Muscle and Fitness Blog
This is my personal Fitness and Muscle Building Blog dedicated to men and women who love to workout or are interested in starting to exercise who want to build muscle and have fun while they burn fat.
Hi, I'm Oliver and I'm a personal trainer and strength coach, I set up the Fitness and Muscle Blog in order to pass on the knowledge that I have required throughout my time as a personal trainer. I love fitness and I love writing so a blog seemed to be the logical way to go!
I know from personal experience how difficult it can be getting yourself in shape, and I hope that by passing on the things I've learned to others it may make it a little bit easier.
If you have any fitness questions please feel free to contact me.
