In 2011, I was pre-diabetic and had high cholesterol levels. I started running and body weight exercises to lower my body fat and improve overall health. In January 2012, I started weight training. Today, I am in the best shape I have been since my 20's. I am no longer pre-diabetic and my cholesterol levels have reduced tremendously. Now, I am addicted to the adrenaline and the feeling of accomplishment.

It's my Zen-time, my time where I focus on making myself a better person from the inside out. Plus I release all the negative energy I am carrying around. I leave all that crap in the gym and walk out feeling better than I did before I walked in.
