Mathijs is echt fit

Looking for a place to start your fitness journey, but ending up lost in misinformation and unrealistic promises? We're turning dreamers into doers, and those doers into the embodiment of their wildest dreams. "

“Why? What’s your to do the things you do and build ?”

Swipe and you’ll see.

This won’t be the first time I’m building something that has the potential to change lives in the most of ways. This experience put me in the position to invest my own capital to get this far with this project.

In , Echt means ; that’s why I’ve embarked on this journey. Too many clowns out there selling BS to young people. Especially in the industry.

What we're building at EchtFit comes from a need to defeat that BS with reality... without which, there can be no true health, happiness or hope.
It’s not about the money for me anymore. I got my freedom a long time ago.

I’m on a mission. You don't just build things for yourself, you build them for the generations.

ECHTFIT IS MORE THAN JUST AN APP. IT’S A STATE OF BEING.

Het Project
Op de Brēgesleatswei 2 in Uitwellingerga moet een iconisch gebouw gaan verrijzen de komende maanden. De voormalig zuivelfabriek met directeurswoning is in 1902 gebouwd naar een neorenaissanceontwerp van W. de Jong en later gepleisterd. Dit gebouw gaan we volledig renoveren met respect voor het oorspronkelijke ontwerp. Het interieur wordt eveneens teruggebracht in de oude staat. Dat betekent dat we op zoek zijn naar timmermannen die iets meer kunnen dan wandjes zetten.

Over de functie
Met jouw ervaring is het lezen van bouwtekeningen een fluitje van een cent. Je weet hoe je een project moet aanvliegen en je ziet het werk liggen. Geen dag is hetzelfde; de ene dag plaats je op maat gemaakte kozijnen en de andere dag ben je bezig met lambriseringen, het herstellen van een paneeldeur maar ook grotere werkzaamheden zoals het aanpassen van goten of een dakkapel kunnen voorkomen. Kortom, jij bent een echte timmerman.

Je bent daarbij collegiaal en behulpzaam richting collega’s en kunt goed samenwerken.

Jouw werkdag zal rond de klok van 08:00 uur beginnen en eindigen om circa 17:00 uur maar andere werktijden zijn bespreekbaar.

Functie eisen
Vakmanschap en professionaliteit staan bij jou centraal. Het afleveren van vakkundig werk en daarbij de drive om te blijven verbeteren is voor jou het belangrijkste. Verder vragen we:
· Een afgeronde mbo-opleiding Bouw;
· Aantoonbare en relevante werkervaring op het gebied van Bouw;
· Dat je als Timmerman een flexibele en klantvriendelijke instelling hebt;

Wat wij bieden
Wij bieden jou een uitdagende baan waarbij jij jezelf kan ontwikkelen en verantwoordelijkheid mag nemen. Jij wordt door ons gewaardeerd en dat verhoogd jouw werkplezier.

Een salaris tussen € 2500,- en €3500,- bruto per maand (afhankelijk van leeftijd en werkervaring);
· Wij sturen jou op pad met een complete set elektrisch flex-gereedschap;
· Werkkleding en PBM's op maat, zodat jij veilig en verantwoord kunt werken;

I can feel it. It's starting. Things are changing fast now.

Reaching the point where all of the work I’ve been doing for the past years is starting to pay off. Time to kill my darlings. Focus.

The more you know, the more you know that you don’t know.
Dixit; Aristotle.

This is actually a good thing because you learned something. Think about that for a minute.
Life just gets better when you make it stupid simple.

Master of making the seemingly super complicated stupid simple is head coach . You know this already when you read his posts. We have a different approach when it comes to being EchtFit. Danijel is hyper methodical and tracks everything to the dot as he puts it. I am intuitive AF. Just doing what feels right and not tracking anything actively (besides sleep and recovery). Yes; I’m a savage I know 😁.

We find common ground on the love we share for taking things to the next level and beyond. When you do something just do it right and give it everything you got. And a little extra just for the fun of it. Life’s too short for anything else if you ask me.

I guess it’s safe to say that both our approaches are working quite well. But. My freestyling approach isn’t coachable or transferable since it’s impossible to quantify. It’s what works for me. That’s why I will start getting methodical using the EchtFit app soon with Danijel as my coach. Let’s get serious and see what happens.

📸 shot this. We did not plan the shoot. He just took my camera and started shooting. Roughly 5 weeks between this post and the last one. See any difference? Posing is pretty much the same. Outdoor lighting usually is a nightmare for taking body shots like this. But after a certain point light suddenly becomes the smallest part of the equation.

Just a little bit out of focus but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Is it?

This picture was taken yesterday after some pancakes. Pretty much fully hydrated here but not really loaded with carbs.

Conditioning is like a puzzle if you ask me. It gets easier.

Amazing. Got flooded with feedback yesterday on which picture to post today. Most of you liked edit 3. But since you also seemed to like the other versions I decided to re-edit the image and by doing so create a picture which had the natural softness of the third option and some clarity of the last option.

Like I said; the image is razor sharp. Almost uncomfortable sharp, you can see every little detail when you zoom in. So please be gentle. I use a canon Mark iv for shots like this, fitted with a Otus lens from Carl Zeiss. Doesn't get much better than that pixelwise. I'm looking to buy some more analog gear at the moment though. That old camera's with their imperfections will add a touch of magic you can never accomplish with a digital set.

Have a great week everyone, I'm getting ready to shoot some pictures today in Amsterdam for this really cool webshop. Maybe I can show you something later today. Cheers ✌️.

Still around 89 kilo (196 lbs). Not being super here but I simply feel better at this weight. Besides, moving down to -let's say- 86-ish can be done in a matter of days by just manipulating caloric levels and adjusting my macro's towards less carbs and more protein.

Being in a eating a moderate amount of carbs will deplete your liver and muscles from glycogen making you look 'flat' and force your body to burn fat and give up water retention since glycogen will hold water. Upping those calories while focusing on carb intake will do the exact opposite. Doing this right will keep you healthy, look full and defined all at once.

However; it's way easier to mess it up. It's a very dynamic process and your body will keep trying to look for balance. Homeostasis can be bitch.

Still fasting every day, even after a excellent write up from on the matter. Read that post. And read all of his posts while you are at it. Bottom line: losing or gaining weight will be solely determined by the amount of calories you consume minus the amount you need to stay alive, plus doing whatever it is that you do. No rocket science there. Fasting will help in creating more constant blood sugar levels until you start eating.

Topics like this will be covered in articles by Danijel and will be part of the nutrition guide after launching the app. Getting closer to a beta everyday now ✌️.

Test

Portrait of a Man in a Turban by Jan van Eyck may very well be the earliest known panel . It's on display in the National Gallery in London. Around 1512 Leonardo da Vinci may have drawn a picture of himself at the age of 60 and in the 17th century Rembrandt painted a range of self-portraits.

From the later 20th century on, video and audio started to play a role in self-portraiture adding new dimensions by allowing a person to speak to us in their own voice.

We all know what happened after that living in the selfie era now 🤳 ✌️.
