| There is no doubt that staying fit helps my heli flying skills, along with many other things in my life. If you don't mind, I'll share my little story with you all. Five years ago, I weighed in at 240 lbs. on my 6 ft. frame, 40 in. waist, 34% body fat, on blood pressure and cholesteral medication and I had a one-pack a day cigarette habit. I got sick and tired of being sick and tired. I started a workout program and changed my nutrition drastically.
Today, I weigh in at 185 lbs, 10% body fat, 31 in. waist and I no longer take blood pressure or cholesterol medication. I have also kicked the cigarette habit, as well. How did I do it? Really nothing special...just busting my ass in the gym (3-days intense cardio and 2-3 days weight training per week) and eating well.
Not to be bragging, but frequently I get compliments and questions from people wanting to know how I stay so fit at 45 years of age  . Of course, that makes me feel awesome, which helps in keeping my mind fit, as well  . |
