What got me started and has motivated me over the years to stay fit and healthy has varied about as much as my life has. I believe that is the key to why it has worked consistently for me for about 34 years.

What is the one tip you would give somebody who is just getting started?
Avoid the gimmicks! Go with tried and true routines and exercises that have been around for years and have proven results. Be patient, it's not a sprint, it truly is a marathon. Don't cave into the drugs and crazy supplements! Eat right, work hard and consistently, and don't give up! It is so worth it! But do it for your own health and fitness above all.

I have sat on a railway sketching, which had just become disused (but I didn't know that), which is near a main road. The 40 tonne trucks going by on the road nearby , combined with an echo in the cutting, had me jumping up on several occasions, as they sounded almost exactly like a train approaching....
ya bro I am in it for the long haul again, this time around I know a bit more than before.
NO MORE HERNIAS lol....3 is enough...been rough...but I just keep pluggin away..
thanks man, plus in this day in age it would be almost impossible to keep up with the current image. So I learned finally that staying healthy and in shape was for me and no one else. thanks
