I wanted to stay the same shape I was in high school after I graduated and lost about twenty pounds after taking up running, track & field, soccer, and cross-country. Been in a gym since I was 15 and plan to be there at least until I'm 70...give or take.

I just enjoy how, after the workout, you feel mentally alert and your body feels pumped and eager for more. Also, getting nods and winks during the summer months doesn't hurt the ego either.
