Hello reader! I’m Cheidy; Head Coach and Chief Content creator at IHF. This is the first ever blog post; I am beyond excited to share the wealth of knowledge I have accrued over the years in the wellness space through observation, study, and hard-earned personal experience. The entire purpose of the IHF blog is to provide you with information and insight that will prove useful, regardless of experience level with the fitness/wellness space. What ever topics we do cover, will be covered in a beginner friendly way with appropriate definitions, and links to useful supplemental material where needed. Getting digestible and accurate fitness related information can be outright painful at times, but I’m here to help.

One thing I am proud of myself for is not being dogmatic in my approach. I adapt my views in accordance with evidence. Further, I understand that what works amazing for me and even a dozen other folks I’ve trained, may not yield the same results for you. But, by giving you a foundational understanding of strength, hypertrophy, and weight management, you’ll have the tools you need to chart your own course (who better to helm your own vessel than you?). The IHF blog, as well as my up-and-coming-soon (TM) social media are meant to be 0 cost resources for you to use as you deign. If you find it useful, rock on. If not, no big deal; someone you know might.

I take a no-nonsense adult approach to wellness with a dash of child-like curiosity. Any information I impart to you I have done my due diligence on inside and outside of the gym. That said, I’m not above trying new things mainly because there just might be some utility in it for someone out there even if I have not met that person yet. And, when it’s all said and done, I believe that’s one of major reasons I exist at this time; to provide value for my fellow humans working towards a goal.

I sincerely believe that even though the universe can be an absolutely indifferent place; the spirit/vibe/energy/consciousness we possess as human beings puts us in a unique position to carry on and manifest our potential regardless.

With that, I trust that you will be well today. I trust you will struggle valiantly, even if no one is there to applaud your efforts. I trust that you will make yourself proud.

See you on the next post, dear reader. Share this message, or just the energy of it, with someone you know.
