I have always been a solid male, but never overly fit or look fit. I did play a bit of sport, mostly for school.
I loved walking a lot and I use to power walk everyday to school.
But once I started work the kilos came on due to lack of exercise especially cardio.
But I put on a lot due to anti-depressant drugs. I stopped those after 9 months realizing I had Aspergers syndrome.
I started a new job in late 2011 and the boss paid for a gym membership. tho I do not work there anymore I am extremely grateful for the membership. I haven't looked back and I love fitness and excersising. I still have a long way to go but I am getting there.

I love it because it builds my confidence and increases my health and fitness level. Added bonus it is helping me look good and the way I want to look and feel
