I was no longer happy with the way my body was going. I got up to 210 lbs at one point and it was not muscle weight. Seeing that second chin getting more defined was depressing. So I made the decision to better myself, live healthier, lower my weight and my cholesterol, and avoid ever getting diabetes. Those things are not what I want in my life, and I don't want my son to grow up seeing me struggle with those issues. I want him to know that he can choose to live a healthy life as well.

It makes me feel good. I like feeling stronger and looking leaner. I like the idea that when my son is older I will still be physically capable of playing games and doing activities with him. Without doing the workouts, I feel my body would just fall apart quickly, due to family history.
