I grew up being an athlete. I played football and baseball through high school and played baseball through college. Working out had always been about athletic performance, and once that was over, it took a little time for me to get in a groove. After college, I worked out during law school in my spare time as a way to help with stress. After law school, working out became more difficult as the hours at the office piled on (lame excuse), so after a couple of years and 15lbs, I changed firms and moved my office into a building with a gym. It has been awesome to be able to use time at the office to work out.

It is a great release and helps me focus on something other than work.
