Introduction: Austin Hericks

My name is Austin Hericks and I am currently a junior at Radford University. I am majoring in strength and conditioning. I have created this blog to talk about issues and information about the health field. I have a few years of background on the topic of health. I have been going to the gym consistently for 4 years and have worked at a gym for a summer internship surrounding myself with many health professionals. I have learned a lot about the industry of the health business. Through the years I have been going to Radford University I have taken countless courses in health and nutrition. Health is one of my largest passions and I hope to share some of the information I have learned through this blog. I hope that through creating these blog posts that I create a sense of passion and fire about health and the gym like I have for it.  

The main topic of this blog will be the topic of health, but I plan to approach it through combatting different aspects of the health and nutrition field as well as hopefully debunking some standards myths that still exist today. The great thing about the health field is that there is still so much to learn and there is new information to discover every day. With new and developing research and information, I will use my platform to explore the topics and if they contrast with past research and how it could impact us. To lighten up the content I will discuss popular and famous fitness trainers and popular trends that occur through social media and whether they are beneficial or not. Through the discussion of trends, I will discuss different issues involving the gym and ways to get motivated to go and keep it consistent. Overall, I would just like to motivate people to get involved in their mental and physical health and be passionate about their desire to be healthy.  

The Nutrition side of my blog is going to discuss why nutrition is important. I will cover how to become nutritious in a way that is sustainable. I will also discuss the problems that comes with having malnutrition. I am going to give some tips on being nutritious and show meals that will be beneficial to your health.  

My blogs will be a variation of articles, podcast, and videos. I am also going to have a few guests in the videos and podcast. So, there will be a variety of perspectives of health and not just mine. The blogs will be factual with a combination of opinions. Hopefully my blog won’t be as dull as many others in the health field. My main objective is to bring content that my audience will enjoy. I would like to be criticized because this blog is for my audience and I want to give them the best content I can give. I hope that my audience can take the information I give them and be able to use it. I appreciate my future followers and hope you enjoy my future content!
