My First Blog

You may be wondering why I call my blog, "The Weight Room". As a personal trainer, I can tell you, a lot of things happen in the weight room--egos are created and deflated, comfort zones are stretched to the max in an effort to add more muscle and burn more fat. Many folks do not deal well with "growing older", not well at all. I let them know that there is always hope--they may not have the same bodies they did in their 20's and 30's, but they can always improve and feel better by exercising and watching what they choose to put in their bodies. I also like to jokingly remind them of the alternative--if you are not growing older, you are dead. Now if you know the Lord and you are dead, that's one thing, but if you don't, that's quite another. I hope to provide a few fitness and nutrition tips, a little motivation to take care of the bodies the Lord gave to us, and a place where we can grow stronger every day by "lifting up" one another and "running the race" with endurance.
