Fitness Inspiration

Over the weekend, I decided to interview one of my closest friends back at home. His name is Kenny Randall and he's a 6'3 basketball and football player. For the past few months, I've been seeing him work hard towards his fitness goal and inspiring many young individuals to work for their goals too. He's been on Youtuber David Laid's channel a couple times and has gained many social media followers since then.
He went to University of South Carolina to play football his first two years and now he is taking classes at a community college for a semester until he transfers to Rutgers next year.

Interview
What inspired you to start a serious transformation?
- After being on David Laid's Youtube Channel, I recieved a lot of messages from his followers asking for advice and telling me that I inspire them to start working out. It's an amazing feeling knowing that people look up to you for inspiration and motivation. So, i thought it would be a good idea to start a transformation and bring my audience with me through this journey.

Have you started your Youtube channel yet?
-No, not yet, but I've started filming and editing already. It's going to take time to get use to filming, but I'm looking forward to starting my channel.

Do you want to get serious in the Youtube world?
-If my channel grows, then yes. But if not, I'll still do it as a hobby and have fun with it.

How did you meet Fitness Youtuber David Laid?
- I met David in high school. We both went to Mainland Regional High School. It's a small school and everyone basically knows each other.

What's your progress so far on your transformation?
- So far, I've lost over 60 pounds. I started at 356 pounds and now I'm about 290 pounds. I haven't gone under 300 pounds in years so I'm really proud of my progress. Seeing more progress motivates me to work harder.

What have you been doing differently in this transformation?
- The one thing that has really changed in this transformation is my diet. I've been counting my macros almost everyday. There are some days when I don't count what I eat, but I do it a majority of the time. Diet is really important and it can completely affect your progress.

So, What are your plans for Rutgers?
- As of right now, I plan on transferring to Rutgers next fall and hopefully play football there. Things could change, but I'll have to see if plans fall through.

Overall, it was nice interviewing Kenny and seeing a slightly different side of him. He's usually never serious and always joking around. But after this interview, I decided to be serious about my transformation. I usually struggle the most with the diet part, but I'm going to try my best to eat as healthy as I could. I have to cut out the late night munchies and cheat meals. Hopefully I'll start to see some progress!
