Overall Goal:  At this point in my life, I'm just trying to survive!

Fit Status:  I need a new year...

Motivation Level: 8/10


Personal Info And Background:
Real Name:
Nate
Sex:
Male
Age:
28
Location:
Blue Springs, Missouri, United States
Occupation:
Teacher, Trainer, and PhD Student
Personal Website:
Primary Gym:
College:
High School:
When I Started:
Mar, 2001
How I Started:
In high school, the only PE course offered for guys was weightlifting, and it was meant for football players, which I was not one. After taking a lecture course in college on lifetime fitness concepts, I began to understand that fitness was more than being a certain type of athlete or bodybuilder. It was something everyone can and should do. So I bought some equipment and began my journey (spring 2001). I've been in the best shape of my life now for 8 years, and I keep getting better (with a few ups and downs) every year.
Why I Love It:
The challenge. I love the discomfort! Fitness also gives me a release valve for stress, and it just makes me feel better overall.
How I Stay Motivated:
My daughter is my first inspiration. There's nothing more horrible than a father who cannot keep up with his children! Secondly, as a personal trainer, I try to set an example of general health and fitness for others. If I can't do something, I'm not going to expect my clients to do it.
BB Accomplishments:
I seem to be regressing lately, though I like the added weight I've gained.
Forum Signature:
In all things give thanks to God. For I am wonderfully and fearfully made. (Psalms)

What did I accomplish in 2009?

Not much...well, as far as fitness is concerned. I began work on my thesis, which has utterly consumed my life, along with a full-time job and full-time family (including preparations for a newborn). So I pretty much gave up the desire to be the fittest,...

Workout Program:
My workout program guiding principles:

1. Move.
2. Move more.
3. Rest.
4. Repeat.

I like to change it up all the time, so I'm always doing something different. That way my body is always guessing, and I don't get bored with doing the same old thing over and over again. I hate being bored.

Hey! Been less on BB.com last few months due to a little less spare time, but still working hard. Lifting heavy this fall, been aiming at new personal bests in bench, squat and dead, and I've got to brag and say it went well! Gonna go lighter loads until x-mas now to change up. Good to hear from you! How are things coming along?
