I've been active and fit almost my whole life, starting when I was a kid running track & field, playing rugby, basketball, and football. I started working out in high school - back then I couldn't gain weight no matter how much I ate. I wish I had that problem these days! One positive about getting older is that you get smarter and and organized about your training (in theory:)).

Being active is how I have always been. I love sports, I love working out, I love pushing myself. Since having kids and quitting my job as a firefighter and working at a desk, the pounds have slowly added up at about 2-3 lbs a year for about 15 years. Next thing I know, age creeps up, metabolism slows down, and I'm 30 lbs overweight. My wife and I have committed to getting in amazing shape again.
