built to offer.

I’m getting back to working out after about a 3.5 year sitting on my bum hiatus... I was a college basketball player and once my career was over, I just quit working out. I ballooned up over 60 lbs and I always told myself I could work it off whenever I wanted... but its certainly going to be harder tan I figured it would be... I'm training for a 5k in October and I'm using it to get in shape and lose some weight in the process! Great post!

We as a society need to change our perceptions in regard to exercise and not see it as a chore. Rather as a fun and fulfilling part of our lives that ultimately is going to help us live longer, happier and healthier. People have become lazy and procrastinate because of the abundant society we live in. It's soo much easier to stop in and grab some fast food than to come home and cook a fresh meal. Just like its soo much easier to sit on the couch than to get up and go for a walk of play some sports. Everyone needs to looks at forming better fitness lifestyle habits before its too late! Thanks for the post. I look forward to reading more of both your blogs. Jessica Hi Andrew and John, I like and agree with your ideas on a "Fitness Lifestyle".

People ask if I feel different after having lost some weight and I have to say that yes, I do. Day by day the difference isn't all that noticeable but comparing how I feel and the increase in strength and stamina now with a year ago, BIG difference. Keep up the good work.
