This is the summer I will turn 67. Collecting Social Security, playing the saxophone and stand-up comedy, open mics. Well that’s not all. Today in the 90 degree heat and humidity, I went to my favorite spot in Central Park and hit the pullup bars. I did ten sets, totaling 110 pullups. Man I love this weather!!
The first two pics are 142lbs. 9.0% bodyfat! Bam! Looking good.
These photos below are after 60 days of eating more and heavy weightlifting. 148 lbs. and 10.5% bodyfat. I gained 2 lbs. of fat and 4 lbs. of muscle. Doesn’t feel as good to me. Hmmmm, I think I like the before photos better! How about you?
Can you see the difference? No, probably not. I am always about the same weight and bodyfat. I fluxuate from 141 pounds to about 147 at the most. About 9% bodyfat to around 11%. So now I’m going to see if it’s possible to eat more and put on muscle. For a month, I’m not going to do cardio every day, and I’m going to take actual rest days. That’s right, I am going from working out every day, to just doing weight training 4 times a week. Wish me luck. Can you build muscle after a total shoulder replacement? At 65? We are about to find out!
2024 Who cares about the date? I don’t, but… I do care about this moment. This moment contains all I need to know. I have spent a lifetime trying to fill the me shaped hole inside of me. As I write this, I see how ridiculous this sounds. The crux of the matter is the realization that I am enough!
WTF?! This guy’s not 65! Well, at least on the inside. Hey everyone, I did it! Made it to medicare. Hahaha! What a joke. Anyway, I’m still alive at 65. I like to take things “One day at at time”, so I don’t put too much thought into birthdays and holidays. Every day is a holiday for me. I’m lucky to be alive. (For a number of reasons) I don’t wait for holidays or birthdays to celebrate. I do it all the time. So, I’m celebrating the end of my 65th year alive. Now. Right now! That’s all we got “Right here, right now” Love yourself!!
I’ll admit I have been a little off my game for a few months. Knee surgery in April completely derailed my frisbee game. Now that it’s July 25th, exaclty one month until I turn 65, I’m ready to get “Back On The Plan” Gonna get serious! Anyone else feel the need to get serious?
Here’s the thing. Health is a lifestyle. Yes, there are so many things you can’t control. So, we’re going to put those aside for now.
Time to focus on what you do have control over.
That’s why I believe that
FITNESS
Is comprised of
F-unctional
I-ntegrative
T-raining
And
N-utrition
E-xercise
S-upport
S-ystem
That’s where I come in. Without a support system for your fitness, you are on your own. If that’s working for you the I say more power to you. If it’s not, then why not make some changes?
I will make sure you get in better shape. I guarantee it.
Give me 10 sessions and you will see and feel the difference.
Fitness is my game. My life. My domain.
Two crazy! Two months. Two different angles. 3 months shy of three years since my total shoulder replacement. First time I’ve been willing to show my body from the left side. Check out that wicked scar!
That’s all. Just checking in. Life is good. One day at a time. Getting through the day is an inside job. If you take care of the inside, it all falls into place. Or not. And you deal with it. 2/22/2022 Another day in the life. A day in your life. Make the most of it. Stay fit. Physically and mentally. Exercise your right to a happy life. February 2022.
We all know by now that abs are created in the kitchen, not the gym. So don’t over-do it this year living it up on stuffing and pie. Or if your like me, and you wait all year to eat pumpkin pie, then I say live it up for the holiday and get back on the plan right away! Oh yeah and try working out every day!

Here are some pics from the last two years of Boot Camp Baby Fun!
Well, I did it! From January 1st through March 25th. That’s exactly 12 weeks of Tabata drills, and Paleo diet. It can be done. I started out at 12.8% body fat and ended up at 8%. I was 148.8 lbs. on January 1st and now I’m hovering at 140 lbs. This morning I was 139.8 lbs.
The first pics are today and following them are some I’ve taken over the last 3 months so you can see the progression.
Working one-on-one with an experienced, qualified, focused fitness professional is a life changing experience. You get undivided attention from someone whose primary purpose is your development and success. You will learn the reasons for every step you make. You will understand why some things work and why some don’t. You will be motivated and pushed beyond anything you could have previously imagined. Simply put: you will get results like never before.I am a certified fitness professional holding three certifications. American Council on Exercise (ACE), Aerobic and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), and Pilates Institute of America (PIA). I am an Army Veteran. I have spent my whole life learning about fitness and getting in better shape as I get older and more experienced. If you want to go from where you are now to a much better version of yourself and get in better shape and get younger as you age, then I have some insights to help you accomplish this goal.
Here we go! We’re at it again.
We’re moving out! We’re moving in!
Oh here we go, we’re at it again. We’re moving out, we’re moving in!
