I usually work out daily. Weights one day, biking the next, when winter starts I’ll do an aerobic thing until it’s warm again. We’re the same age Dr. Murray so I know how you feel. The hardest part is the easiest part-getting started on a given day. Once you’re there it’s all just routine but actually getting in the car, going downstairs, getting on the bike overcoming all of the “I’ll do it tomorrow” “I’m too busy” and every other excuse: that’s the hard part. You know I have to think though: Even morning I pass by a cross fit joint. Full of windows and those beautiful body types, younger people. That’s hard work. Cross fit can be brutal. Anyone who gets up and is at the gym killing themselves at 0600am has my admiration. It’s funny though. Right next to the crossfit joint is one of those report for work places. You know, the one’s where the unskilled show up, sign up, and as someone needs a laborer of some sort off they go to make 10 bucks an hour for a days worth of work. The contrast of lifestyles is not lost on me. Here’s the parking lot filled with bmw’s, audi’s, and suv’s and then there’s the bus dropping off more guys to rush in and get their name on the list so their families or themselves can perhaps eat or have a roof over their heads that day. Both lifestyles have good points and bad; that’s a story for another day though. Keep at it. Stay disciplined.

Who needs 6-packers, when you fellas have wives to keep you humble
