After getting into a lot of trouble during high school, I was left with a lot of time on my hands. I lost a considerable amount of weight during that time after being a chubby kid most of my adolescent life. Once I came home I didn't really leave the house, so I picked up a bench set and started from there.

Not only does it relieve stress, but it helps me look and feel better. I don't see a downside either way.
