Me Sparring With another Great Guy his name is John..
As I Sit Here thinking that at the age of 37 how much I still love Training and Sparing, and just to think back in 2000 I had slumped off my gym activities and only went on Saturday and Sundays because I was always working.. This went on for a few years until 2004 when I realized I was 250 pounds ( I’m Only ‘5″6) and as a courier for a popular overnight delivery company I could not go up one flight of steps with out being out of breath and badly I might add..
In 2004 my day job made changes and I did not need my night job anymore, and getting back to running was probably the hardest. The diet was easy but I needed to get back on track, I finally joined the place I should have in the first place.. From that point on the rest is History..
But I am a single guy I can manage, but sometimes gym fees did not help any and I am very good with money.. But let’s face it times are and can get tough for everybody, and I remember those days as a teen to a single working mother that was getting no to very very little child support.. I wasn’t very active , not many friends.. There just wasn’t many things for me to do, I even got my first job pumping gas a 16 years old then it was just work and school..
This is why I want to do this, Kids/Teens can be taught anything you just have to give them a chance.. A lot of adults I talk to want to try Boxing/Karate or whatever but just simply cannot afford it.. Certain gym’s charge extra for it so now you have to come up with gym fee’s as well as class fees which can in turn add up to almost $60 to $80 dollars a month and if you want to do it with you kids well you can just double that..
An just forget about corperate gym’s , they just take your money and it is what it is..Or they will not build gym’s where the population is small and Kids and Adults need a place to go
I believe that some things in this country should be free and Education with Health and Fitness should be one of them.. Why not convicts in jail work out for free and get three meals a day and they have commited crimes..
Heck we work for a living and just want to have a good time with our friends/family until we punch in to work again.. Its just disturbing that we spend our time doing the right thing and still cannot enjoy what we want.. (Sigh)
Well this is my thought for the day..
Have a good day everybody
