About Training Board

My name is Matt Baldwin and in this blog I record my fitness and workout routines, and I discuss diet and weight loss techniques. I also publish reflections or reviews of various fitness and nutrition related topics that interest me.

I am into CrossFit and I work out with the crew at CrossFit Asheville here in Asheville, NC.

If anything I have posted seems useful to you, let me know with a comment.
