The military required me ot be "fit to fight". I used to workout and my heaviest was 198 lbs, but healthy. I didint have a fat caliper, neither did I care about bosy fat content. Now I have to watch everything to remain fit. To emulate that ideology, I took up cycling, vollyball, swimming after a severe back injury whick left me with several herniated and protrudung discs. Two in my lumbar and 3 in my C-spine. I have to limit impact activities but keeping weight off is the best medicine. Trying to avoid pain meds and surgery is my ultimate goal, working out will help me minimise that risk.

I need to stay lean to keep extra weight off which hinders mobilty and limits my ability to perform at work at me peak!

To keep me healthy and active. This allows me to be able to be a competitive cyclist and enjoy life to the fullest.
