Getting it Right Fitness

st likely because I am getting ready to go on a cruise and I once again would like to reclaim my youth and wear a Speedo. Not always the best thing to do when you are a gay man and over 50. So, in my journey to that goal I have thought considerably about what has worked and what has not and more specifically why. I have probably also started this because my beautiful husband is at this very moment at a weekend workshop to prepare for his ACSM certification. While I am not planning on getting certified as a fitness trainer, I do share in his goals and challenges surrounding nutrition and doing what is right for our bodies. This site is something we can share together along our journey. I write this partly for my own benefit but also with the hope that somehow I can share what I would call my “collected wisdom”. This is much different than “collective” wisdom. Collected wisdom of my thoughts and ideas based solely on things I have done and learned in my thirty plus years of trying to be the man I wanted to be. So I will talk about food and fitness, and how the body works. I have some pretty cool ideas to share. None of them based on any formal education, they just make sense… at least to me. The one thing I have learned over and over is that I have no power to change your life, but if for some reason any of this works for you I am happy.
