Middle Age

For the last 27 years I have been working to achieve the American Dream. That dream includes hard work and trying to make enough money to support one’s family while living in the United States, the land of law and order.

I remember in my 20’s when I worked out every day. I used to do 225 pull ups every day and 500 push ups every day. I did these because I had the time and ability to do them. It was what I would call a light workout. I still weighed 150 pounds when I was working out like this. As the years went by, I exercised less and worked more.

I always thought that there would come a time that I would be able to get back to working out. It never happens. I look enviously when I see those younger than me working out. I know I could still do it, but just trying to pay the bills these days takes all my time.

This column is meant as advise to those in their 20’s and 30’s to keep exercising and never let work take that much time that you can’t exercise.

I am now fat and sloppy. This site if for you and is a gift from me. This is advise from a guy in his 40’s who misses doing all the things that there used to be time for.

Starting this column is a good incentive for me to start exercising. I will report on my progress. I welcome comments and questions.

Never trade a few bucks for keeping fit. Look, we all have to work, but I lost all sense of balance and thought that working hard would make me a productive citizen. No, working and enjoying your life will make you a productive citizen.
