I'm the Saikou a.k.a. Supreme of Initial Mile. I'm here to help you adapt, evolve and ascend into the hero of your universe by building resiliency, a powerful mindset, and unlocking new levels of fighting abilities, power, strength, endurance, speed and agility.
Initial Mile was created by me, Kelvin B. I’m a certified exercise physiologist under the American College of Sports Medicine, martial artist since 5 years old with training from various styles, former endurance athlete, self-taught graphic designer and of course, anime fan; specifically Dragon Ball.
Back in 2020 at the start of the pandemic, Initial Mile was originally created to share training tips and workouts for runners, triathletes and obstacle course racers. After about 2 years, I realized that a lot of my success and motivation to be a top competitor in triathlon, transpired from multiple practices during my competitive days and I had more to share with the world outside of endurance training. In addition to my triathlon training, the combination of martial arts, calisthenics, weight training and yoga also played a large role in unlocking optimal performance.
Although there are a lot of companies and brands out on the web sharing their own workouts, tips and content, I strive to do one thing better than any other and that is to provide the “balance” between training styles with realistic approaches when achieving Saikou (Supreme) levels of fitness. If you know Dragon Ball and the Saiyan race, they are well-balanced warriors who have mastered multiple training practices that give them the ability to come out triumphant against universal threats. They have the power, strength, endurance, speed, agility and mobility, showcase their mastery in multiple martial art styles during battle, but most importantly, possess a mindset to be resilient and overcome any challenge. With time, dedication and some guidance, we can follow a similar path and also achieve advance skills and abilities.
Outside of the fitness-verse, I am an “artsy-fartsy” type of person. I created Initial Mile designs on Ink-Scape such as our balance logo, Spirit Wolf and Initial Mile's master warrior, Super Saikou. I was also a dabbler in cosplay but now more of a fan of the culture; You now can find myself and my media partner, Adrian Y. out at fan conventions covering media to highlight cosplayers and artists.
Combining my passions for fitness, anime and art, Initial Mile gradually transformed into an anime inspired fitness and lifestyle digital magazine providing anime inspired visual workouts, training programs, training tips, cosplay and anime lifestyle content. As Initial Mile continues to grow, I hope to bridge the gap between the fitness and anime world.
