When I Started:
How I Started:
I bought some weights the day after one of my brothers beat me up when I was 18. None of them try that any more. ;)
Why I Love It:
I enjoy being fit so that it offsets the aging process.
How I Stay Motivated:
When I see a improvement in strength and size it keeps me wanting to lift more. When I run/cycle at a good pace, it makes me want to go even faster. This all means, train harder. :)
BB Accomplishments:
When I turned 30 I weighed 139lbs. The almost 60 lbs that I have gained is my biggest accomplishment.
I want to cut my b/f% while maintaining 200lbs and improve overall endurance for TKD.
Goal (Long):
As I come up to my 50th, I want to attain the fitness level of years gone by with the exception of being more muscular than then. I need to lower my b/f ratio, pack on some more lean muscle and increase my overall endurance as I like to run/cycle and continue my training in TKD. For my birthday gift to me I want to be ready to have some professional photos taken so I can give them to my wife.
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 5 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
10%

I have been working out off and on for 30 years now. I started first by cycling and then switched over to running. I really fell in love with running. I ran all the time and found it to be a great stress relief. Sadly, in '84 I was hit by a car when riding my bike and it...
Rod!!!! Where've you been, buddy? I've missed you and keep thinking that you may pop in & say "hi", but nuthin'! I hope you're doing well and that your training is kicking your ass! ~Brooke :)
Where ya at Rod, where ya at? Traveling perhaps? Have a bum laptop again? I have new progress pics up! Starting the 40+ challenge today! Hope you're enjoying your Easter weekend! ~Brooke
Good to hear from ya, Rod! Running is hard on the bod, Rod! Be careful! I sent you a group invite. I know it's a commitment and perhaps you're not interested right now, I'd love to have you along for the ride. We're about to start an 8-wk challenge this Sat (4/11) - could be good motivation! I HAVE to post pics then, so stay tuned! ~Brooke
Lotsa peeps are like "Where the heck is Rod The Bod??" Been thinking about you and wondering how your workouts are going...and whatever else. Miss ya! ~Brooke
Actually, I am not of Scottish descent. I wore it for a Scottish-themed event at my lodge. Initially, a lady-friend dared me to wear the kilt once and when I did , I found out how comfortable it was when properly worn. I now own the kilt you see in the pic. :)
Don't you worry 'bout my pics, Rod! Have I let you down yet? I WILL get some up. I'm working on something special that will surprise even YOU (and, no it's not slutty pics)!! So, stay tuned! Have a great weekend!
How are things going this week, Rod? I wrote a coupla new blog entries if you're interested in checkin' 'em OOWWWWWTTTT... What's up w/ your rides of late?
You're funny, Rod! Welcome back! I actually took a few on my cell (abs are looking "interesting"), but have no way to get them to the comp. Give me another week or so. I'm excited to get 'em up, so it WILL happen! :)
