Started as kid...just push ups and pull ups...didn't really have access to weights but I liked competing against myself.

Its all in your head. If I do nothing else that day other than get in my workout, I know I've done something for me, something that makes me better and stronger and therefore more valuable to my family or for my job. It's almost instant gratification!!! What else can do that will allow you to set goals and achieve them day by day. Those of us that love this life are self motivated, go getters and willing to do what it takes; many times without support and even with obstacles and our work produces results that others try to justify. IT'S EMPOWERING!!
