I have been a swimmer my whole life. Swam competatively from age 8 to 18. I've been working out since I was 13. That was my frist gym membership at University Fitness. After graduating high school and living on my own I gained a lot of fat and weight. Starting in June of '08, I decided I wanted to get back to a healthy body and have been working out since. Now I am back at University Fitness and more motivated than ever.
Why I Love It:
I love the feel of sore muscles and fatigue. I love feeling pumped after a tough set.
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated through my friends and family. I work out a lot with my sister Heather. Lift with my friend Jon. And take fitness classes at my school. One of my brothers, the one I look up to the most, was a personal trainer and competed once and I think that is another thing that motivates me, to not necessarily look like he did, but have that type of muscle and fat ratio.
BB Accomplishments:
*Losing 40 lbs over the three months in summer of 2008.
*5 Mile Lake Triathlon in 2006 when I was 17.
*Kirkland Triathlon in 2009 when I was 20.
Work hard and get the body I want. A little bit of abs showing and toned body. Weight 170. Body fat 10-12%
Goal (Long):
I want to get my body better than it ever has been before. Work out and get lots of cardio in. Eat right. Tone up and get a solid 6-pack. I want this as soon as I can, but know it will take time. So I will work hard for it the next few months! Then work on maintaining it.
Why I like this video: This guy is too funny! And he gives a good set of basic tips to a balanced diet while he talks about a key subject.

Why I like this video: Get to learn a lot about steroids and just so well made. Great documentary. This is just the trailer, you all should go rent the movie!
So this week I tried coming up with a couple circuits to do.
On tuesday I did a toning circuit. At each exercise I did 1 minute of the exercise then 15 seconds transition time before starting the next. That day I did:
DB Chest Press
Inclined Leg Press
Lat Pull Down
Jumping Jacks

nice, that's awesome! real meaning behind it.. :) Yea I get my workouts and mealplan from Team poynter..love it, cas before I was just researching on my own what/when to eat and lift..but I love the direction of being told what to do by steve, cas he personalizes the program to my own goals. it's awesome
Oh I see them now! nice that looks awesome.. your back is lookin real good too! what do the initials symbolize? I've just started up doin 6days/week last week.. my program switches up every two weeks, pretty sure I'm down to 5days/week after next week.
