Have you ever taken the time to look around you at work, the beach, and the shopping mall? Notice the standard of fitness level of the people around you? I've noticed. Australia has one of the highest rates of obesity in the world, and I for one am ashamed about that. We've always had a reputation for being sun loving and active people. I guess things have changed.
My lifestyle was probably just like many others. I worked hard during the day as a tradesman and I practiced martial arts at night. Until I decided to take on a new profession. Yep, I went for a "desk job" because I figured I wouldn't have to work as hard. But I tell you, after working behind a desk for 5 years I was suffering.
My belly got fat, my activity levels dropped, and I kept eating the same. 5 years of that and I was way out of shape and I needed to do something about it.
I didn't know what to do, so I tried boxing again. I remember I used to be fairly good at it. But unfortunately my body did not handle it well and I injured myself frequently. A crook shoulder and a nasty pulled muscle between my shoulder blades. OUCH! I turned to one other thing I knew a bit about.
Weight training and bodybuilding. I'd been lifting weights since I was about 18 just so I could impress the chicks. I never got great results, but I did notice some strength increases. At this point it didn't help much with the chicks, but I did feel better.
I started training my legs, I knew I could keep working on my flexibility and squats while my shoulder got better, so that's what I did. Squats, dead lifts stretching and sit ups.
I look back now and I think the shoulder injury was a blessing in disguise. I worked on what I could, and I worked hard for about 4 months just doing these comprehensive exercises for my lower body and abs. I really wanted to burn off my flabby belly fat.
Within 6 months I was training body weight exercises for my upper body, and I has lost about 25kg. I was getting really lean, and my energy had come back like I remember. My desk job was still a bit of a drag, but the exercise helped as an outlet for the stress, and I was more confident to approach the tough parts of my job.
Now I've got a much stronger body, I can almost do the splits, and I squat over 200kg. Yes, I have strength and flexibility. (this is very important!)
So why did I choose bodybuilding and weight training to achieve my goals? Simple, it's what works.
