My name is Brian Evans. I am a 41 year old happily married, father of two kids who owns a periodontal practice in Connecticut. I grew up in Arkansas and spent 7 years in New Orleans while in dental school and residency before moving to Virginia where I was stationed and served in the Navy as a dental officer. I moved to Connecticut in 2007 and have been there ever since. Fitness has always been a big part of my life beginning with participation in typical childhood sports, high school football and golf, collegiate golf, road races in dental school and obstacle course racing in my 30’s. Weight training has always been an activity that I consistently included in my lifestyle but over the last three years I found the other passion in my life, body building and nutrition. I have created this blog to share with you the knowledge I have obtained over the last few years regarding proper weight and cardiovascular training and diet and nutrition and how to incorporate it into your daily lives. Let’s face it, we all need balance in our lives and fitness many times takes a back seat! Folks always are looking for a quick fix! Fitness is a multi-billion dollar industry that is full of so many false promises targeting individuals who want that quick fix. I see it everyday via infomercials such as “if you do this exercise 5 min every day for 6 weeks, you will be shredded” or if you follow this diet plan for 8 weeks, you will get the abs you have always dreamed of”. Well, my goal is to share with you the mistakes that I made and how following a few simple nutrition rules and training smarter has made all the difference! Sharing this knowledge really begins with my journeys of how I trained and prepared for two body building competitions over the last two years and how I was able to gain 6 pounds of lean muscle naturally at 41 years old! Look for my next post soon that begins the journey of Physique competion #1!
