Interview
with Marco
When did you start doing some serious
physical training?
I always used to do a lot of sports and
especially football. Actually I spent a
significant part of my childhood at the
soccer court. Besides that I started
going to the gym when I was 16. We
had a gym at our school, but it wasn´t
quite serious back then. My actual
serious and more structured training
started with 18 when I moved to
Munich to study and signed up for a
gym here. Ater training there for a
couple of weeks / months a staff
member of the gym and now friend of
mine approached me because he saw
me training regularly and wanted to
show me the basics of training and
nutrition. That´s what he did then and
it was a game changer for me. So to
answer your question: I started my
serious physical training at the age of
18.
Is there any type of food do you eat to
keep fit? Or is this really important that
one has to follow a strict diet?
I love just eating healthy in general and
I like every food. Each and every time I
eat I enjoy my meal with the mouth
and the brain. For me both parts of me
are eating and my mouth is pretty
easily satisfied and happy with
everything it gets. That´s why it
doesn't make sense to me to eat at
McDonalds because my brain won´t be
able to enjoy the meal and not even my
mouth because it starts to get pretty
sensitive on fatty stuff. I'd go for
broccoli and chicken as well as every
other kind of healthy food. To keep fit I
try to eat balanced-diet and make sure
to eat a variety of vegetables and food
rich in protein. I love carrots, broccoli,
sweet potatoes, salad, fish and harz
cheese (though everyone else hates
this cheese). Furthermore hormones
are very fascinating and I like
improving my eating habits and do
training to keep hormones in balance.

What Kind of Sports do you do aside
from your Fitness Training?
During summer I do not go to the gym
that oten. I´ll do my outdoor-workout
in the sun needing a pull-up-bar, some
space for handstand, a heavy stone or
so, and ideally some bars for dips. For
leg-day I´ll do sprints, what´s just an
awesome cardio workout too! As
another leg-day-alternative I go hiking
with my dogs. During summer
swimming is a great alternative whole
body workout too. I´ll just go to the
gym if I miss the heavy bars too much. I
just love making my body and mind
more capable in a more holistic kind of
way besides looking good.
