One thing that is helping me stay focused on getting fit and staying fit is reading what others are doing about their own regimes. I read quite a few blogs regularly. Some because the writer is so different from me and others because I feel some affiliation to them, that I am contending with similar challenges to them and I am inspired by their perseverance.
The regular ones are:
There are other random ones that I frequent but I find myself coming back to these pretty regularly.
But as I get more and more of an appetite for this type of information, I begin to look elsewhere and I generally find good blogs via blogrolls at these sites.
And then I noticed on Andrew is Fit that he “kicks ass” and something called Alltop.
I heard about Alltop a while ago but it must have been in its infancy because I thought nothing of it. Now, however, is a completely different story. It is a veritable feast of information and, if you’re like me and want more information on fitness and health, then this is the place to go.
Alltop is an aggregator of information all categorised under relevant headings. You can search a term (fitness) as well as search by A-Z. You could get lost here by seeing so many options and I am sure I will spend a fair bit of time scrolling through this “Mega Blog Roll” – they are all blogs from what I can tell.
I searched for, and found, Andrew’s blog listed there along with the last 5 posts, as it does with every blog listed so you get a feel for what the writer writes about.
I also learned that they list blogs are regularly updated so you get fresh info all the time as well as some corporate sites (Washington Post) so they can, according to them, have credibility. That is a great plug for Andrews as he is always posting and keeping us up to date with is progress and has earned his spot on Alltop.
Anyway, have a look over there if you haven’t been before. It’s a great place to get started on new info in this context. (I still got to Google first for most of my research, but this will be a close 2nd.)
