Over the last several months, readership to this blog has gone up dramatically and many of those new readers are from outside the US. From Australia to Uruguay and many countries in between. It has been a lot of fun for me to blog.

When I started fitness blogging a couple years ago, my intention was to post my modest workouts and I  really didn’t care if anyone saw them but it became so enjoyable that I decided to add other content related to the workouts I enjoy doing. As a result of my training and blogging I have met some interesting people, well-known and unknown and take great enjoyment in passing what I have learned by way of MFBB. Since adding a WordPress language translation widget, I have been getting a lot more traffic from overseas. I would be interested in knowing the quality and accuracy of the translation. Ron, a Chinese vendor of mine gives it a “C+”, which might sound alright until I learned his son is graduating with honors at Stanford and will soon attend MIT. Isabella, from Italy called it “horrendous”. As long as I don’t come across to you as an idiot, it might be ok. Drop me a comment and tell me how this reads in your language.

To make this blog even better, I would like to hear from as many of you as possible in the “Comments” to find out what interests each of you and your own plan for health and fitness. Your suggestions for my blog would also be most welcome and would provide some good ideas to write about.

I recently interviewed a very savvy personal trainer in Australia which was very well received. If you have an interesting perspective on fitness as you enjoy it, it might be fun to share your story and pictures.

I am going to send an e-book on kettlebell training to the person who writes the most interesting comment as an incentive. I also would appreciate it if you would find a post you like best here and Digg it or Stumble it at the bottom of the post.

Mostly though, it is very cool to see this blog grow and have readers from all over the world.  I’d like to thank all of you, particularly my repeat visitors. Now go lift something heavy.
