You know, people ask me everyday: Why are you so passionate about what you do? Well, that is an easy question. I stumbled on something years ago that I knew immediately could help fix the world. WEIGHT TRAINING!
I was 17 when I started weight training for the first time. And I was a skinny, skinny kid. But within months, my body started to transform, and I became stronger- yes, but my body started taking shape like you wouldn’t believe. I had developed tone, muscles, definition, firmness – whatever you want to call it – all over my body. From this I noticed a desire for good foods, and a lot of them. I could do even more in all my recreational activities. And most importantly, I obtained a ton of confidence. I’m now 43 years old, I feel great, and I still feel just as confident as I did in my teens.
Weight training, I have learned, has a lot of benefits, especially mentally and physically. It has cured my aches and pains and help me deal with my fears in life. I have a strong desire to eat better every day and, again, I feel really good about myself and who I am because of my training. Once you truly understand what you are doing and why you are doing it….it makes easier to do and stick with month after month.
Weight Training is definitely underappreciated and misunderstood. In the next 5-10 years you will see weight training become the number one thing that adults over 40 need to do to take care of themselves. Great nutritional habits will come in a close second.
