Warning: The post is about a workout I did withOUT my trainer!
The reason I wanted to start a blog is the first place is to share my workouts with my trainer as well as other fitness adventures, tips, other blogs and videos. The reality of my life is that I can’t do 100% of my workouts one on one with my trainer. As I have mentioned before I travel quite a bit and my goal is to work with my trainer 1-2 times/week. That leaves hopefuly 1-2 other workouts each week where I will be flying solo. This is one of these workouts. I hope these posts are as enjoyable as the ones with my trainer.

If I were to ask you if you wanted to get up early on a Sunday morning after having been out the night before for dinner and drinks (+++) with friends, to do an intense workout for time against a bunch of people that were in much better shape than you were, most people would potilely decline.

Managing my weight has been a lifelong struggle for me. Truthfully, I have never been comfortable in my own skin, and I let my poor body image keep me from many things I really wanted to do. I was a classic bookworm and while I excelled academically, I was not fit or athletic, and did not play sports at all. I was always trying to lose weight and I was well versed in dieting before I was even a teenager. I started working out more regularly when I started university, and while this kept my weight in check, I never actually felt stronger, or noticed real definition in my body. I was busy with school, friends and the rest of my life, and I didn’t really feel that fitness was a priority. I continued with my education through medical school and a family medicine residency, but, ironically, I never found the time to focus on my own health.

A year ago I was introduced to the world of disc golf. At the time I understood in principle what disc golf was but had no idea that, outside of the confines of the backyards in which we spent our childhood, disc golf had become a widely available recreational sport.
Once a popular sport limited to college students, it would seem many more of us are now enjoying the added exercise of disc golf as part of their regular activity.

Last April, after feeling miserable for so long and scared that due to being obese I could get some of the diseases that my family suffered from – like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and cancer, I made the decision that I was going to make a lifestyle change. I thought long and hard about this and made a list of the pros and cons of changing my lifestyle- the pros outweighed the cons without a doubt.
I will be honest, I was scared to death to walk into the gym for the first time because I was so fat, I was embarrassed of what people would think. I joined the gym and pushed past my embarrassment. I had set a goal of going to the gym five days a week for one hour but for the first few days on the treadmill I was so sore I could hardly walk and I was lucky if I made is four times a week for twenty minutes.
