ERF 001: Welcome To Eric Roberts Fitness

My name is Eric Roberts and this is the beginning of the Eric Roberts Fitness Podcast/Blog Posts. If you have even taken the time to open this up right now and read, I just want to say thank you for the opportunity and hopefully, I can keep you around.



Seeing that this is the very first ever implement, I really just wanted to give you guys a quick rundown of what this podcast/blog series is going to cover, why I'm starting this, and who the hell I am to begin with.







But as one quick prelude, I want to let this known right now. I will be cussing on this platform. I will be saying "fuck." I don't know if I'm going to say at one time, 20 times, or 50 times, I'm not sure, but there will be cussing in these segments. So if you don't like that, this might not be for you. If you don't mind, then we can absolutely continue on.







I want to give you guys a quick overview of what this podcast/blog post is about, what the topics are going to be, why I'm starting it. Most things on this podcast are going to be related to anything health and fitness.



That can really be anything ranging from strength training to nutrition to counting calories to counting macros, understanding macros, to why your favorite celebrity is doing intermittent fasting, but also can pertain to the mental aspect of of health and fitness, something that I feel is not touched on as much within our industry.



The stuff I'm referring to would be like behavior changes, why we make certain decisions, but also what fitness brings to us besides just muscles and having a sweet six-pack, bro.



There will be a no bullshit approach taken to this platform. I know a lot of people say that, but trust me, I actually fucking mean it.



This is not going to be the podcast where you hear like, "Oh my God, Sally, it's Saturday night. Go out, enjoy yourself. Have those 16 beers and fucking four pizzas. Fuck it. If you don't love your body now, you never will!”.



I'm not with that shit. Now I know, of course I'm not saying you can't go out have a good time, have some drinks here and there with your friends. That's not what I'm saying, but what I am saying is if you have certain goals you want to attain, there's going to be some sacrifices that come with that along the way.



That's a whole different topic for a whole different day, so I'll try to keep it as clean cut as possible.



The reason why I'm starting this platform is honestly a couple of reasons.



One of the big ones being that the way I do my fitness coaching is I have groups of people. Say I have 30 people at any one given time and within an hour, 30 people at one time. Yes, I can get to everybody, but I can't really have a one-on-one conversation with you about your goals, about your macros, about what your diet is like, and you just saying “I EAT HELTHY!” doesn't really help me.



So I'm starting this to hopefully dive into things a bit deeper and hopefully help some more of my already existing clients that I have right now to get better results.



Another reason why I'm starting this is because I hear so much shit, so much noise on social media on the internet these days, like fucking bread makes you fat or intermittent fasting is the only way to go or the best one is fucking keto drops 47 pounds in two days.



I'm not with any of that shit.



These segments will hopefully give people a real informational source when it comes to fitness.



A real source that's not just saying like, "Hey, fucking bread's going to make you fat." No bread does not make you fat. Eating too many calories for an extended period of time makes you fat. Or, "Keto is the only way to go because it puts you in ketosis and burns fat." No, once again that's not the right thing.



The reason I'm starting this podcast is I really want ...
