Welcome to Out of a Rut: Tyler's Guide to Sports, Health and Fitness. You may be wondering what's with the name? It doesn't make sense. That's because you're in a rut!
In a rut - in a settled or established pattern, habit or course of action, especially a boring one.
Unfortunately, many of our lives have become in a rut, and our health and fitness even more so. That's why we quit going to the gym, stop miles short of our potential during a jog and worst of all lose our edge and excitement about exercising. There's always something different to be done. There's always something to take us to the next level - even if you're an avid weightlifter and a health nut, I'm here to guide you out of the rut!
My name is Tyler Rutstein, and I am junior journalism major at the University of Florida. I have started this blog for my health and fitness writing class with Men's Health editor and co-author of the national bestselling "YOU: The Owner's Manuel" series Ted Spiker. Throughout this blog, I am going to write about popular sports topics, health and nutrition, and great ways to break a sweat.
Health and fitness is a real passion of mine. I enjoy weightlifting, running, bikram yoga and most of all basketball. If you play at UF Southwest Recreational Center then you'll know me as "the lefty." I am always looking for ways to enhance my physical performance and stamina.
At UF, I began my journalism career like most in reporting class. I was published often in the campus newspaper, The Independent Florida Alligator, from stories about the Madoff scandal to UF pageant girls. My favorite story was covering Tim Tebow and his philanthropy that raised more than $300,000 this past year. It was published on Yahoo! Sports. Besides writing, I am the director of celebrity cameos for the 2009 Gator Growl show. This has been one of the most exciting jobs I've had as I film and meet celebrities getting them pumped for Gator football. I am also an active brother in Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity and was an editor of SigEp The Magazine.
For my dream job, I want to start a sports management and marketing firm that manages NBA players. I want to handle contract negotiations while at the same time maximizing their earning potential through proactive and personalized marketing strategies. I would also like to own a training facility that will develop and prolong many of my athletes' careers.
A little big more about myself... My favorite athletes are Lance Armstrong and Dwyane Wade. My favorite days are Gator football Saturdays, and as of lately, whatever day the BCS falls on. I enjoy Men's Health Magazine, ESPN and Sports Business Journal. My favorite books are I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, Lance Armstrong, 33 Strategies of War, and Harry Potter. My favorite meal is the Bbq Ranch Chicken Salad from the Cheesecake Factory. My favorite artists are Cold Play and Lil' Wayne. My favorite actor is Adam Sandler.
I hope you look forward to a new and exciting year, and most of all, a fit one.
That's my life here at UF, but that story is far from finished...
