I was a life guard in high school and started lifting weights so I'd have a least some muscle. Was in pretty good shape for about 10 years then kids, job and marriage took their toll. Don't regret that at all they were the priority. Finally got back into it with a vengeance in early 2010 and haven't looked back.

I like feeling healthy and looking good. I like being comfortable taking my shirt off at the beach or mowing the lawn.
