I am turning 40 years old. My wife and I have a 1 year old. I want to be around to see him grow up, so I decided to get in shape. I was doing a lot of cardio before and not weight lifting. I decided to work in weight lifting so that I can see some results, and I want to be a relatively good looking 40 year old. So, I deiced to work in the weights.

I love working out and the weight lifting because it makes me feel like I am accomplishing something with my body. Sure, there is pain afterwards, but it is a rewarding pain, and I look forward to it. Plus, I like that my clothes, the smaller clothes, are starting to fit better.
