Personal Trainer Northampton Blog

This page really should have been up from the beginning so apologies there.  I wanted to put an about page on the blog to make it that little more personal. 

My name is David Stanhope.  I am 23 years old and live near Northamptonshire in the United Kingdom.  I have loved weight lifting and training since I was 15 years old and have trained with my very good friend John from that age.  Recently, I have studied the subject more in depth.  This has included techniques, plans, protein supplements, training frequency and different types of exercises.  In March of this year I launched my second site, www.wheyproteinking.com which will be a complete site of information on whey protein and all its benefits.  I have found it to be an invaluable supplement in gaining muscle in the last 6 months.

It is only really in the last 12 months that our training has become more refined and results much more visible.  This has been due to targeting muscle groups, taking supplements, resting adequately and perfecting proper technique.  Looking back at our younger days, our technique was poor as our knowledge was not what it should have been.  However, we have learned from this and if you are in your teenage years reading this and considering beginning traing, please make sure you do research into proper techniques.  Believe me, it can save you frustration and more importantly risk of injury.

I have become a person who sets myself many goals to achieve, both in my personal and physical life.  My physical goals stem largely from illness from asthma and more recently epilepsy.  Both conditions have caused distress in the past and could well stop me reaching goals I set.  But I am determined to never let them and in fact it gives me more determination to reach goals.

My personal goals include travel, most of all to New York.  Other places I would love to visit are Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Cyprus and other parts of the USA. 

I would like to thank you for reading and for visiting the site, your support is greatly appreciated.

I would also like to thank my fiancee Gemma and John for all their support and knowledge as without them all of these goals would have remained mere dreams.
