Meet Rob Hourmont on Medium
A top writer in health and fitness topics and a new editor of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications on Medium.
Purpose of the Story
Dear Readers and Writers,
This post introduces a top writer Rob Hourmont who recently joined the editorial team of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications as a senior editor. Rob is a published author with many years of writing, editing, and consulting skills, which we briefly introduce in this post.
Health and Fitness Experience
Let’s start with his remarkable achievements as an elite athlete. Rob Hourmont, as documented in Wikipedia, is a former World Cup and Olympic Ski Racer from the United Kingdom. He was the youngest ever British Senior Slalom Champion in 1985 at age 15.
Rob went on to win several Junior and Senior British Ski Championships. He qualified to compete in the 1988 Winter Olympics at 18 — he finished 21st in Slalom from a field of 120 competitors.
Rob was ranked in the world’s top 30 in 1990 as his skiing career ended abruptly due to a training accident, causing severe knee damage. Despite his injury, Rob continued to work on his athletic performance. He rebuilt his knee and leg strength and could ski recreationally again.
Rob’s many years as a professional athlete and recovery from injury have equipped him with in-depth knowledge of sports, fitness training, nutrition, movement, and recovery therapy.
In 2016, Rob’s right knee finally gave in and had to be replaced with a full-titanium prosthesis. At this time, Rob discovered the “Keto Lifestyle,” to which he adjusted his path immediately.
He began to study the subject intensively and completed the Primal Health Coach Institute course in record time.
He experimented on his body to see what exercises would work best using his body as his gym. He began to experiment with food, sourced his food locally and organically, and cooked for himself instead of eating out.
The results were dramatic. Within three months, Rob lost 60 lbs of excess weight, built lean muscle, and became overall healthy, full of energy and positivity.
Travel, Education, and Work Experience
During 2018 and 2019, Rob traveled to Bali, Indonesia, where he continued experimenting with food and exercise and created his unique movement routines.
Using his methods, Rob has personally coached over 300 clients to lose weight, gain lean muscle, and re-build confidence and a positive mindset.
During this time, Rob studied and completed his online MBA (Master of Business Administration) from The University of Cumbria, UK.
Writing Experience
Rob’s passion is health, nutrition, fitness, and, above all, today, writing. Rob has been writing professionally about his passions since 2019.
He’s a Top Writer on Medium in Food, Health, Life, Life Lessons, and Self-Improvement topics.
Rob dismantles the food industry for what it is, making people unhealthy and overweight. He talks about the no-nonsense truth on health, food, fitness, lifestyle, and wellness.
Working out, losing weight, and becoming fit are something everyone can do. So, Rob shows how easy it is with his simplistic yet highly efficient and effective nutritional plans and workout methods.
Rob authored two books. The first one is titled The Ultimate Guide to Weight Loss, Fitness, and Health. The second one is The Ultimate Bodyweight Workout Bible.
In addition, you can find all of Rob’s workouts in his articles on his website.
Rob is a prolific writer on Medium. He posted many stories to Illumination Integrated Publications and many other publications on Medium.
I selected a few as listed below to give you a quick taste of his stories. We hope you enjoy reading them on Medium.
