Hi, I'm Kevin Donne, the Get Fit Guy. I'm here to share my accumulated decade of knowledge in the strength and conditioning industry with you to help you to become the best version of yourself.

I'm sure we've all been there. We read an inspiring article or watch a well-made Netflix documentary

and suddenly we change your diet and training protocols and are telling everyone we know about

this amazing new thing. The problem with this is that you may be totally incorrect in your

recommendations. If you take a quick scroll through social media,

you'll see that a low carb diet is good for you, a high fat diet is good for you, squats are potentially

There are six levels to Bloom's taxonomy.
