My story started out when I was 290lbs, smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day and drinking a lot of beer/alcohol. I use to think that all I had to do was lift weights as a workout. I finally changed my way of understanding what a workout really was, and changed my lifestyle. I now try to live my life by “Inspiring by Example” and motivating others that they can do anything they set their mind to. Your heart and your mind are the biggest muscles, be positive and be happy to use the body that you are given to achieve your goals, whatever they may be.
