I have always been active, so it's hard to pick a real starting date. But I would say the true turning point for me was becoming pregnate with my first child. I started a regular cardio and light lifting routine. That was in the mid-90's and I've certainly had my up's and down's since then. Now that 50 is around the corner, I want to get in my best shape ever.

It's the fountain of youth. I can't imagine where I would be now if I never worked out.
