Behind the name: FitnessIsNotEW

My name is Eadric (EED-RICK, YEA-DRICK, EH-DRICK) Wong, being blessed with a name that has multiple iterations to both Asians and Caucasians alike. With the acronyms E.W., which conveniently is synonymous to a sound made when something undesirable is encountered. And fitness is one of those undesirable encounters to some people, which I believe otherwise.

Qualifications

Absolutely none. I do not have any certification in training and would hold myself to be the ultimate guinea pig for all those internet fitness fads, having tried out multiple diets and workout plans to see which would work best. The result is me being able to share those experiences with you here.

My Transformation

What better proof than to show it? So we have a gallery of my before pictures, looking like a bouncy little bread stick – kind of plump, soft, but still very thin, what I would classify as skinny-fat.

Here’s the after. Pretty big change and it has been for the better (clearly). Apart from the physical, mental state just skyrocketed in terms of confidence and carrying myself. A new-found discipline built in the gym carrying it forward to daily life keeps me striving for more.

A small reason why this blog was started was because of the reactions that I got from peers after revealing this transformation after 2 years. And if any part of my advice impacts anyone for the better, I would be more than gratified knowing that I’ve caused a positive impact.
