I was a skinny fat and needed to change in order to improve my self-esteem. I had no knowledge of what it truly meant to be "healthy." Since then I havent stopped studying health & fitness, and it's bringing me right where I want to be!
Why I Love It:
I just love it. There isnt a better feeling than that of how I feel when I continuously treat my body right.
I live my life to the fullest without compromising my integrity and through facing challenges in pursuit of happiness and holistic health. I strive to be a role model by valuing my family and friendships, holding myself accountable for actions, and consistently and persistently seeking out knowledge and personal growth. With enthusiasm, I discover the greatest sense of accomplishment when assisting others to reach their goals and expand their view of their personal potential. I exude health and confidence in my every day and exercise faith as the backbone of the manner I live.

With my current program I may do two short cardio sessions on days i dont lift. Still, as I see it, I get plenty of exercise outside and out with the friends that I am not worried by this low amount.

What is your favorite cardiovascular exercise? Why?
I love running. It can be hard on the joints, so I will switch days with some cycling or other intense aerobic workout. I would really like to do more swimming, but running has always been a mind escape as well as great exercise.I love running.

Thanks Dave! I've been sticking very nicely to eating clean, and it shows. I'll have to take new pictures. I have yet to measure my body fat for an update, but I also need to get back in the gym for workouts. I worked the last 12days at 5am between my two jobs and CANNOT wait to catch up...

-Full of Supersets
-Great new challenge
-Different exercises every workout
-Built of intense weeks and recovery weeks
-Lower levels of cardio, but I work a lot and am constantly moving regardless
