Regular Fitness Plan

[ICTJOCK]

So,  September here,  a little late to converting to my fall fitness plan.  Time to review goals and some new ideas I have for my exercise routine.

That includes my all important "morning cardio (and a little weight training)  component in the morning.     Good diet and dedicated exercise is so important to me.

Just curious,  if you escort,  do you have dedicated fitness time?      I always cringe when I have to compromise that time with client requirements,  but life is a balance.   It does seem to work.

@ICTJOCK Another excellent question! 
Nothing really gets in between me and my fitness / nutrition needs. I have had the good fortune of meeting many people who enjoy working out with me and I enjoy working out with them; all ages and levels of fitness. For those that don't fancy the gym as much as I do, I make it a point to wake up 2 hours even earlier to go workout and be back before they even wake up out of common courtesy; it's as if I never left.  I've always put my fitness and nutrition first but never letting it inconvenience me or the people I see. This keeps me fit and happy. Fit body, fit mind. I generally workout with weights 2-3 days in a row and take a day off to rest and then repeat. Cardio I like to do 6 days a week. This all has been so deeply ingrained into my daily doings that it all feels as natural and normal as breathing. It's the biggest small part of my life. Contrary to popular belief I don't spend hours and hours in the gym. I like to get in and get out so I can have plenty of time for other passions and the things that hold my interest outside of my physicality.

Appreciate the dedication and I agree.    The only thing I can ever equate to my dedication to fitness is the need to floss my teeth every night.  I don't sleep unless I floss.   That got engrained years ago by a dentist who happened to "speak"  to me the right way.

 

The same thing  about fitness.   My experience comes from lower back pain that came from years riding & showing horses  (and riding without a saddle).  Had serious lower back problems while in graduate school and my doctor made it clear that I can either live life by drugs to relieve the pain or choose a different path,  a prudent path.   Change my lifestyle to a very active one to relieve the pain.    I can say I chose the latter and have very little back issues of any kind.    Good genetics helps and am dedicated to  the "mind-body-spirit connection.    Our guests on our podcast program only reinforces my beliefs every day!
