Why it’s fun – and inspiring – being Facebook friends with “Real World: Brooklyn” alum Scott Herman

Even before he was a member of the cast of Real World: Brooklyn, Scott Herman worked damned hard on his body.

But the MTV show put this buff beauty on the radar for a lot of folks and more than 20,000 of them now follow him on Facebook – including me!

Scott regularly posts workout videos and scores of appealing photos in an effort to inspire folks to workout with him. He has succeeded in amassing  into a loyal following called the “Hermanation”

I met Scott at the GLAAD Media Awards in LA in April and he said: “I want to be as real as possible. When I was growing up, my dad always taught me to respect people and to listen. The opportunity that I have is to change people’s lives.”

I wondered if Scott ever wanted to let himself go for a week, break out the potato chips and curl up on the sofa: “I have this thing that goes off in my head like if I don’t work out or eat correctly for like a day or two, I go crazy. I have to go for a run or I have to do something. It’s a sickness, it really is.

Below is one of Scott’s workouts as well as some pics from the Facebook page. Enjoy!
