3 years old
Three years with Beach body, wow goodstuff
I want to tell a story though, I hit rock bottom three years ago(2009), It was the weekend my first grandaughter Isabella was born, I went down to Allegheny to spend a night with my sisters and their kids camping.
I bet I weighed 260# or more. I got a call form my ex wife that Bella went back to the hospital and she wanted me to come right away, it was not urgent , nursing issues, and she was dehydrated, once you admit a child they need to stay 48 hours.
I was so big I needed a shirt or two to fit me , XL's were too small my fat belly hung out.
I stopped at Walmart and bought two XXL I was so ashamed I was M in High school for Cripe sake. Anyways I tolled around like this until late Oct 2009 when I found Beach-body, and Power 90 came...

Mel Robbins: Take Control of Your Day
Mel Robbins: Take Control of Your DayWhat's the first thing you did this morning? I bet it was reading messages on your cellphone. The question is why?By Mel Robbins April 06, 2012If you looked for texts, realize that it’s rare to hear a ping in the middle of the night. What kind of text would likely be there, after all? Is there a joke from a drunk buddy partying in Vegas? Did your spouse who left the bed earlier text you something lovely to wake up to? Doubtful.Next you open your inbox. Why? Is there something so important you must do it this instant? Is there an email you need to send before you wipe the sleep from your eyes? No, because you...

Tips for Better Pullups
Tips for Better Pull-upsby Stew SmithOf all the exercises, the one with the largest mind game attached to it is the PULLUP. One thing I have learned is that women AND men CANNOT do pull-ups IF they do not PRACTICE pull-ups.On the flip side, the common denominator among those men AND women who can do dead-hang pull-ups, are those who practice pull-ups.In my personal opinion, one of the worst things we ever developed in physical fitness classes were the "girl pullup" or flexed arm hang. At an early age, we have been telling young girls, that they cannot do regular pull-ups because they will never be as strong as boys. Well, part of that statement...

Law #4: Lift Heavy ThingsGrok WorkoutQuick Bodyweight RoutineGym CircuitBegin each workout listed in this section with a five-minute warm-up of low intensity cardiovascular exercise (walking, jogging, stationary cycling or other cardio machine at 55-75% of maximum heart rate) followed by light stretching.
