About Me

My name is ARTO PAINILAINEN.

I am a 70-year-old Finnish retired teacher, freelancer fitness coach and wellness marketer.

In the end of the 1960s I started my muscle training. At first, it was body weight training and after about two years my weight training began. The first couple of years I did it at home and then moved to a gym. I was a personal trainer in three different cities (Vaasa, Seinajoki and Turku) here in Finland during 1975-1992. I had my own gym in Seinajoki in the beginning of the 1980s. After the year 1992 I have given fitness advice via mail, email and websites. From the year 1995 I have trained with free weights, machines and cardio equipment at home.

I got a Multiple Myeloma (bone marrow cancer) diagnose in the year 1999. After some severe treatments it has been in a remission now 19 years.

I have been since June 2018 an 80-90% vegetarian. It means, that I eat, for example: oat, rye, rice, sweet and white potatoes, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, plant protein powders and a small amount of dairy products (whey protein) and fish.

I avoid white sugar, white flours and alcohol (=empty calories).

Because of my this kind of history (fitness, cancer and vegetarian) I want to share articles for a healthy life.
