It all started as a new years resolution, 50 pushups and crunches a day, but it quickly advanced into something more. I was always intimidated when it came to obtaining a gym membership because I was convinced that I would embarrass myself in front of the local, experienced gym rats. But after a beach vacation in the summer of 09' that all changed. The condo we were bunking at included a nice gym set up and I enjoyed the atmosphere. As I arrived back home I purchased a membership that week. The rest is history...
