Welcome to GeekIntoShape.com.  If you are coming to this site, you are either a member of the United Order of the Geek (A Nerdius Maximus) or you are part of my family (Hi mom!).  I will assume the former (Sorry mom).  Either way, I am really glad you have stopped by and I know you will enjoy the content we have to offer.

Question: So what is the content you speak of, George?

Well, the goal of this website is twofold: Motivation and New Ideas.

As a motivated technophile, I have become apathetic about my physical, and ultimately mental, health.  Why would I want to run around the block, when my Level 70 mage can run around the entire continent of Azeroth in the same amount of time?  Why do twenty crunches when I can read the last twenty TechCrunch posts (Have you read them yet, they are soooo good).  I feel like there are many people that have this same internal debate.  But there is no need to choose between being geeky and being healthy, because there is plenty of time for both.  All you (and I) need is a little bit of motivation and a ton of new ideas and fun workouts tailored to our geekhood.  GeekIntoShape will provide you with both!

Question: Who do you think you are telling me how to get in shape?

I don’t like your hostile attitude.  But to answer your question, I am a 26 year old System Engineer.  I have a wife and a little 18 month old girl.  I love programming, video games, social networking, and internet TV.  I have always been chunky, and at my max weight of 255, decided to make a change in my life.  I have since dropped 30 pounds and am looking to drop 20-30 more by the end of 2008.  Along the way, I have put alot of thought into how to ease the transition of a sedentary lifestyle to a healthy lifestyle, while not having to give up my nagging desire to stare at pixels all day long.  So while I am not an expert or professionally trained, I know what has worked for me and I would like to share that information.

Question: Oh, I was out of questions… You go ahead.

Good.  I know Josh and I are really excited to start this project.  Not only for our own goals, but also to help you meet yours.  We plan on bringing you alot of useful information and some unique ideas of view that you will not find at any other fitness website (But by all means, go to these too, the more the better).
