Why we ask you to make an account first

Fair question, and there is a real answer.

One person, one response. An account is what stops the same person answering fifty times and bots filling it with junk. Without it the numbers are worthless.
You are reading this data too. The findings below are only worth anything to you if they are honest and true. The account is what protects that — for you as much as for us.
Your answers stay yours. Come back any time and see exactly where you sit against everyone else, filtered by age, by gender, by how long you have been training.
It is your free gift too. Everyone who completes the survey honestly picks a gift, and it lands in your account.

On finding the time

1 to 2 weeks

is when most people noticed the mental change. The physical change took 3 to 4 weeks.

Take your time and learn the basics first. Fancy does not mean effective.
