re: How did you get started being healthy?

Eat beef and pickup heavy s***. remember this "nothin happens to me, everything happens because of me". good or bad. yes, not always true but this may help you take ownership of your life and health

for me it started with one ashtanga yoga class, which completely humbled me. as a farm boy and kid who played everything, and an adult who considered myself fairly fit and athletic (while doing nothing), this was eye opening for me. but i found it fun and challenging. this led to trying crossfit - next level humbling. loved that and trying to master the techniques of all of the different movements. also. being in a team and competitive environment helped me move with more intensity

an attempt at Whole 30 in the crossfit class started the nutrition journey. i failed at the Whole 30 challenge but learned how much junk i had in my weekly diet. slowly began to eliminate the trash and my energy and mental state slowly improved. now, ill go through 800-1,000 lbs of beef (hot hanging weight) annually. feel great

ive given up crossfit due to schedule, and have settled into a fitness regiment centered around the big compound lifts, and augment that with olympic lifts, kettlebell routines, a bastardized-yoga stretch routine, and the kneesovertoesguy stuff. i tell everyone around me whos even remotely interested in health and fitness to "eat beef and pickup heavy s***." also, i love working out with others and thats been a great motivator for me. every chance i get

good luck keep us all posted
