I played college football and have in all honesty let myself go over the past 15 years. With work, kids etc. A few years back I was put onto blood pressure medicine by my doctor. I just figured it is what it is. But one day I looked at my kids and didn't want them to grow up without a father. So i decided to get serious about my health.

I love the stress release factor associated with working out. When I'm in the gym it's almost as if the rest of the world and the worlds issues have stopped for that time. Now it's more of competition to me. To see what I can do and understand where I started.
