Ahh, the things to be thankful for in 2020. Maybe you’re thankful you and your family are in good health. Maybe you’re thankful to still be employed. Or maybe you are thankful for the Gainz you received despite the pandemic. Regardless of what you’re thankful for, Skinny Muscle will like to thank you for following me through my first year of this fitness journey. Throughout this year not only did I accomplish my personal goals, but also achieved goals beyond expectation. The following are accomplishments we made within the first year of the launch of Skinny Muscle (Janurary 2020):

1. Gained 22 Pounds in 11 months

At the beginning of this journey, I weighed 128 pounds, was bedridden, heartbroken, and in despair. Throughout the journey, I managed to lift myself up and train during every setback including COVID-19. There were many days and weeks when I didn’t want to work out or eat. Many of those days I actually gave in. Despite all the challenges, I managed to gain the most weight I ever gained in one year. Having this blog kept me accountable and I couldn’t have done it without my readers.

2. Over 200 Social Media Followers

Within one year we were able to gain over 100 followers on Instagram and 100 followers on Facebook. This allows us to stay connected with Skinny Muscle fans on a daily basis outside the website. There I post meals, fitness techniques, workouts, and tips five days a week. Being able to get over 200 followers in one year is a big accomplishment. Especially given that I launched Instagram 4 months after the start of the fitness journey.

3. Five New Affiliates

Gaining affiliates allows me as a blogger to recommend products or services from brands I enjoy or find beneficial to Skinny Muscle. This also allows me to provide exclusive deals such as Black Friday Affiliate Exclusive: 50% Off Sitewide at Reebok! by using code BFEXCLUSIVE. I will be compensated for any purchases made using the affiliate links at no additional cost to you. I do not endorse anything I have not used or do not represent the core values of Skinny Muscle’s mission. For more information about our affiliates visit our affiliate page.

What’s to Come, 2021?

Now that the end of the year is approaching, it’s time to set goals for 2021. With the funding from raised from personal training and investments to the blog, I am able to expand my reach in 2021 in ways I haven’t in 2020. The following is what to come in 2021:

1. Recipe Series

In addition to the bi-weekly post Skinny Muscle has committed to in 2020, Skinny Muscle will be launching a recipe series bi-weekly, on opposite weeks. This series will provide Skinnarians with quick, easy and affordable meals that would change your eating habit from never hungry to “maybe one more bite”. We’ll also tackle topics such as how to cook for a family with different diet goals (ex. wife wants to lose weight, you want to gain), basic cooking techniques, “reverse”-mindful eating, and much more.

2. Email Campaign

In order to expand Skinny Muscle’s reach, I will be launching an email campaign. This will provide a newsletter once a month, with blog posts, exclusive tips, first access to any discounts or products, and much more. This December we’ll be Launch our first newsletter campaign. Sign up before New Years’ and get a free workout and meal plan.

4. Personal Training Sessions

The health and wellness decisions you make today can drastically affect your health in the future. Health & Fitness Coaching will teach you basic functional movements that can be done in and/or outside the gym as well as teach you easy and creative ways to make healthy choices.

As a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Spartan Competitor, and owner of Skinnymuscle.fit, I will use my experience to provide you with the tools you need to reach your fitness goals. I also hold a B.S. in Culinary Nutrition which I will use to not only provide a nutritious meal-plan but also cooking habits that will make your food taste good.

This Session will be 100% customized to your individual goals and restrictions. This program includes everything from the workout program plus 30 minutes 1 on 1 coaching session, and a customized nutrition plan based on your restrictions (Vegan, Lactose-Free, etc). I will also provide a 10% Discount on any future purchases.

I hope you’re excited for 2021 as I am. Once again I thank you for making the first year an accomplishment. I look forward to seeing you and your continued growth for many years to come.
