Simple... I took my fat a*s to the gym one day.... Actually - after surviving posterior AND anterior spinal fusion to repair my broken spine... being paralyzed for 4 months, strapped into a full body brace for 6 months...the agony of recovery for 18 months... Doc Rovner gave me my life back at 2 years. I went straight to the gym. Go-a-head..tell me I can't do something (I dare ya). Imagine being at the gym running full force on the treadmill when your leg completely gives out from under you, feeling like someone just chain-sawed it off your body, your spine protrudes out of your back like an alien rupturing, rendering you unable to walk or sit for 4 months... I promise you, you would trade your soul to the beast for one more chance to walk... Laying there motionless I would repeat over and over, if I could walk - I would RUN... And so now I do.

I have chased and obtained .... and educated myself: Health and fitness does not begin and end at bench-press.
