I had been using the treadmill regularly for about a year and a half before I started lifting. In January of 2009 I was diagnosed witha tumor in my chest. They could not biopsy it because it was too close to my heart. I had it removed in march 2009 and thank god it was benign. I decided then that I will get in better shape and take care of myself. Began riding bike, using the treadmill and educating myself on fitness, which brought me here!

I feel and look better.
