Happy Tuesday!!!
Hi everyone! It was a long and exciting weekend for me. I spent Friday giving a clinic on Polar HRM to the owners and staff of Fit Life Jacksonville. Saturday, they had their Grand Opening. It was definitely worth my Saturday getting to spend time with people how are Polar users, but most of all getting to meet the people who are interested in Polar HRM’s but didn’t know what to do with it.
If your in the Jacksonville, FL area and your looking for some dedicated trainers that want to get you the results that your looking for, stop by Fit Life Jacksonville. I can guarantee that you will love what you see and how you will feel.
Great way to start the day!!!
Started off the morning dropping off my little one at school, then off to the gym for the grueling Arms, Chest and Triceps workout. Did a 30 min swim after. I love starting off the day this way. It doesn’t get any better than this.

3% Down!!!
Today is one of the best days in some time as far as training goes. I just did a body analysis this morning and found out that I have dropped 3% body fat. To me that was a big deal, especially since I hit a plateau a month ago.
Thanks to the encouragement of my Family, Friends, Trainer Friends and Twitter Friends, I have accomplished something that has given a bigger push to keep it going.
I have been struggling with my routine the past month as it feels like my body has “adapted” to what I was doing. Even though I would change sets, reps, body parts to workout nothing was changing.
Thanks to the advice to Kent who is one of the trainers at my gym and also a friend, my routine has been adjusted enough to show progress again.
Now, I am ready for the next 3%!!!
2 Years Ago…
I was in the Rehabilitation Hospital learning how to walk again. As the Physiatrist came to do her morning visit. She came to me and said, “I wanted to get you measured for a new scooter”. I asked what I would need a scooter for, then she dropped the bomb on me. She told me that I would likely not be able to walk again.
When you have a 4 year old that is just curious about life, that was the last thing that I was prepared to hear. I had only been working with her for the past 2 days and she tells me this.
I have to be honest, for 1 1/2 years, I listened and believed what she told me. I went through a lot of depression and hid it as much as I could. I never told anyone because I didn’t want anyone to feel sorry for me or to think that I am just being weak. I’ve been told that sometimes people just don’t want to hear about your pain, so I kept quiet.
As summer of 2010 came, my daughter now 6 came to me and started asking me about doing more travel for summer vacation and doing more activities with me. That was my call to change my mindset to as Og Mandino would say “A Better Way to Live”.
I started training religiously. I loved my new “gym” friends. I received a lot of motivation from my wife, family and friends. I refuse to give into all of the negative. Don’t get me wrong. I still wake up with a lot of stiffness and live with a lot of pain, but I also feel that if I don’t do this for myself, then who will.
Please remember to keep moving everyday!!!
