FIT FACTOR

In lieu of Ken Hunt's weekly "Fit Factor" column here at gaysocialites.blog, this week he has asked us to direct you over to his Facebook Group "Ken Hunt Fitness & Steel Gym" for some FREE fitness tips all week long.

Every day this week, Ken will release another fitness tip via his Facebook group.  Hunt says most of the tips will be aimed at those who wouldn't typically find themselves working out in group fitness or at the gym.

For more information on Ken Hunt or Steel Gym, you can visit their website at steelgym.blog.  Of course, everyone is encouraged to join the Facebook group.  You never know when Ken might start giving away free gym memberships and personal training sessions.

FIT FACTOR

By: Ken Hunt

Does this sound like you?

You are the first one at the gym in the morning. You continue to train despite a nagging injury. Your idea of free time is heading back to the gym for an hour or so of cardio. Missing a workout is not an option. Are you obsessed with exercise? Ask yourself these questions:

• Do I feel that I absolutely cannot miss my workout? If I do miss a workout, do I feel extremely guilty and uneasy?
• Do I feel that I have to exercise even if I notice that instead of helping my body, I am damaging it?
• Am I preoccupied with my body's appearance, weight and muscle mass?
• Do I spend a lot of time looking at myself, scrutinizing myself and measuring myself?
• Am I getting more injuries?
• Do I hear family and friends expressing concern about my exercise regimen or appearance, yet I still don't stop exercising?
• Do I feel like I can't stop exercising?

If you answered “Yes” to 3 or more questions, then exercising might be interfering in your life. And you may be at risk for developing an exercise disorder.

All of the GaySocialites would like to wish a Happy Birthday to fitness guru Ken Hunt.  Ken is a great friend of ours around here.  He's not only our trainer and voluntary security detail, but he's also a great friend!

Ken is also an internationally renowned fitness expert, the owner of Steel Gym and a syndicated fitness columnist.

Tonight Hunt, a GaySocialite himself, will be celebrating his birthday at the new Thursday night party, Apple Jack at La Pomme in New York City.  Hosts Matt Tratner, King Ralphy, Dina Marie Delicious and Ricardo Studmuffin will be helping Ken knock back some booze and celebrate another year.

I'm told tonight's Apple Jack is guest list only, but if you come to the door dropping King Ralphy, Dina Marie or even Ken's name - then you might be able to talk your way in!

If you'd like to wish Ken Hunt a happy birthday yourself, you can do so via Facebook or Twitter.

Listen to the experts. Read biographies and listen to audio programs that talk of winners who have overcome tremendous obstacles and setbacks to become successful.

They are people just like you. So if they can do it, WHY CAN'T YOU?
