Fitness starts as a goal and then becomes a lifestyle.

I took up lifting on my 30th birthday because I had a crisis realizing I was getting old and was skinny-fat because my metabolism was no longer allowing me to get away with my trash diet. I dove into lifting and the culture, bodybuilding.com, the misc, ZYZZ, went full blown meathead for a while and within 2 years I had a top tier natural physique.

I'm now 42 and staying fit is a breeze because my lifestyle and routines have incorporated all the knowledge I've gained in the last decade.

It was actually shocking how easy it was, just learn nutrition, track calories and macros and you're 80% there. I kicked myself for not having lifted throughout my youth and my 20s, but better late than never.
