I'm a fitness aficionado with a lifetime dedicated to sports and physical well-being. With a degree in physical education, I've spent the last three decades in the fitness industry. Before becoming a full-time writer, I was an elite Royal Marine Commando. I’ve worn many hats—gym instructor, personal trainer, gym manager—you name it. I'm a strong believer in the holistic approach to fitness, focusing not just on the physical but also on nutritional and mental aspects.
