Real Health

Through my years as a trainer and also someone who has been working out for a long time, my ideas of "health" have changed.  From the time that I was 16-22 years old, my idea of health was to get as buff as possible, doing everything and anything just short of taking steroids. I took countless supplements, powders, pills, everything you could imagine to get big. 

As I'm in my forties now, my idea of health is being able to call on my body to perform just like I could when I was in my twenties.  I'm happy to report that my body does respond.  I feel as strong, possibly even stronger today that I did 20 years ago.

I just sent out a message on Twitter (in case you aren't getting those updates, you can follow me here) in which I commented on my healthy afternoon snack.

Today, health for me is enjoying a snack of great tasting dark chocolate from TCHO and an Asian pear.
