Started in the summer of 2006 when a friend of mine told me to come to the gym with him, ever since then I've been going religiously to the gym 3 days a week and doing HIIT on off days whenever I can.

Feels good to be healthy/strong, improves self-esteem, boosts mood after the workout. It's nice to know that I'm healthier and more physically fit than 90%+ of the population.
