Stewart’s Blog

It’s a great time of year to review goals and purpose for anything.  I’m reviewing some things I put down several years ago about my training.  I like to review my goals and purposes.  It helps keep me on track and reminds me (or "RE-reminds me" as a friend of mine says) of my purpose for doing what I do.

I have a list of 52 benefits of strength training (bodybuilding, fitness, call it what you will).  Here are a few…

My clothes fit well
my muscles have a great tone (not flabby)
I am more attractive to my wife
I relieve stress
I have a reduced risk of diabetes
I keep a high level of HDL (good) cholesterol
I have a reduced risk of many cancers
I recover more quickly from injuries
I tolerate extreme heat better
my lungs work more efficiently
I am satisfying a life-long desire.

That’s just a few…there are lots more.

Have a great new year!
