Student Fitness

By: Veljko Petranovic

Hello! My name is Veljko and I’m a health enthusiast. Actually, a health nut would be a more appropriate label for someone like myself. It started innocently enough. I was 16, and wanted to put on some muscle to impress the girls in High school. I remember benching 60 pounds which felt heavy as all Hell at the time. I remember celebrating when I got strong enough to do three (gasp!) whole pull ups. After a year or so, I discovered proper nutrition and realized that it put a whole new level of difficulty on my hobby. I was growing, though, and it was good. Most importantly, I was reading up on training and eating, which I still do.

It’s at places like StudentFitness.org where you can learn your ABCs, and later your XYZs, about living the fitness life. I have worked at gyms as a personal trainer, which taught me a lot, and I have even entered a bodybuilding competition and won second place as a junior lightweight in 2002. Currently, I am enrolled in the Sports Academy in Belgrade, and the learning process continues. My goals? Being in shape, remaining healthy and helping other people do the same.
