When I Started:
Jul, 2007
How I Started:
I realized one day I have 50% of my mom's DNA, whether I liked it or not. She passed from a mixture of diabetes, lung cancer, lymphoma and heart disease. If I want to live to be an old healthy fart, I needed to get healthy now and stay healthy.
Why I Love It:
A great stress reliever. In for cardio every morning, back for wieghts at night. I have become a workout psycho. Its what I do, it's what I think about. I push it as had as I can every time i go. The guys who admire "the 300" have it just right.
How I Stay Motivated:
Having someone who has obviously a better bod than me make a nice comment about mine. Progress pictures make a difference, if i relied on the measuring tape I would be smoking cigarettes in a bar right now.
BB Accomplishments:
I just managed to bench my weight for the first time in my life. My strength has at least doubled and I've lost and added back over 40 pounds since I started. I needed a new wardrobe... again! Pants are too big, shirts are too small. I like it.
Forum Signature:
If you see me working out and I have headphones on please leave me alone, i'm in the zone. I mean I don't come by your office and interupt you while you are working do I? Also, if I fart on the treadmill and I don't say "excuse me" or "ooops", it didn't happen. It's your imagination.
I want to be fit, healthy, vital and sexy. I want a great competitive attitude and to approach all aspects of life expecting to win. Setbacks should be rare!
Amy has made me feel like I belong here and has continuously been a fan. She always has a warm comment and makes me believe I can do this and keep it going.
There's no reason why you shouldn't keep training as you are. I know people competing into their 40s, 50s, and 60s! Only thing I would say is that shorter work outs seem to be more beneficial, and more rest days are required as you get older. My partner is 42 and trains 4 days p/w, giving him adequate time for rest in between.
I would ask the trainer to justify why you should follow a program like that? X
Thanks Rob....the support is greatly appreciated. I can't believe this journey has almost come to an end BUT it is only the beginning :) How've you been?
