I broke my hand in a horse riding incident, which resulted in having six weeks of work and ended up with too much time to myself. I realized after looking back at old photographs and the like that I had really let my health go when I finished school in 2009, so I decided to make a change.

Bodybuilding.com was my main influence for starting to love working out seriously, within a gym environment. I would have never garnered the confidence to step within those walls without the knowledge and advice provided on this website!! I love Bodybuilding (although I am so far away anywhere near the stats or strength level required to be considered one), because it provides me with a solid foundation in health and fitness whilst I am still young which will become of vital importance when I am older.
