awesome workout, fair play. I was only looking at another account on steemit the other day that focused on fitness for the over 40s. You are creating a really good log here. Great stuff.
I am running an experiment here on steemit with the aim of improving retention and the steemit experience and after looking at your account I think it is something you might enjoy. come on over and join in on the discussion

Thanks @paulag - this is actually my second account that I use to log my fitness diary. Not sure I'm the kind of 'new user you're aiming for as I've been on the platform for over 2 years!
Retention is certainly an issue. I think having Communities will help create a better way for users to engage directly with the content they're interested in. Ironically, at the moment I find the best way to connect with new users is through events and meet-ups in real life. Hopefully Communities will help find me quality content producers in different niches on the site.
haha I find this rather funny, well if there is one way to find second accounts this is it lol. Cant believe I didn't know already.
I cant wait for the communities feature on steemit, it will be a game changer and hopefully move the engagement from discord to steemit.
I have already found some awesome niches doing this experiment, but its not an easy task. Communities will for sure ease this.
Meetups are also cool, there is a steemit one in Dublin the last weekend of every month. I'm hoping to make it next week. i also run a more local and general blockchain one the third Friday of every month, so yep I do agree, its a great way to connect with new users.
anyway thank you for letting me know the account ownership, still find that part funny that I didnt know. Good to see your 2nd account made my list of accounts worth trying to engage with :-)
Thanks! Love the stuff you do by the way, I've even come across some of your videos in YouTube. 👍
