That’s awesome, hats off to your pops! If we all did what we could to help each other out the world would be a much better place.

Thanks to my employer my wife and me are to use this crazy gym for little money and it even has a pool and kindergarten. Awesome!
I feel totally out of place among the rich and beautiful though

That gym is Epic! Wish we had something like that around here.
Cheers to a new year!

189 days out from a Triathlon. I have to rev up the training in the next couple of weeks. The exercise feels great though!

@neph93 Thanks! I'm trying to get into peak shape while I am still young. Who knows, I might try an Iron Man after this!

I thought this article was really interesting and helpful, it's a number of world-class athletes discussing mind and body training techniques. Loved Alex Honnold's philosophy expressed before he got into routines.

Hey guys! I’m participating in my first 70.3 Ironman this June as a member of Team IMA5K. There’s 14 of us training and racing to raise awareness and funds for Autism. There’s a summer camp here in Oregon called Camp Odakoda and 100% of the money we raise will go towards a financial Endowment for the camp so it can live on indefinitely. I’m super pumped to be a part of the cause and to see what I can do on Race day!
Here’s a video that I made of myself that will be a part of a mini series put out by the team to help raise awareness for the camp.
Also my fundraising link if you would like to be a part of this with me. Any amount is greatly appreciated! Thanks
Fundraising:

Awesome, @Brock ! As the father of a 12 year old daughter who is on the spectrum, I greatly appreciate your contributions. I got your fundraiser started, and certainly hope you make your goal, if not more. Thank you !

Thank you so much Scooter! It really is a great cause. The camp is life changing for most if not all the campers that attend.

Here is the first video of our 4 episode mini series that highlights what we are doing and WHY.
Please check it out and share it if you are so inclined. My team is raising funds for Camp Odakoda and awareness for Autism! It’s a real thing and the youth who struggle with it grow up to be adults with the same struggles. Camp Odakoda is a huge blessing to youth on the spectrum because they learn how to adapt and channel their abilities. The friends they make are lifelong and the connections with their counselors are life changing. It’s an amazing experience to see a camper come home and tell the stories of their experiences!Thanks for all your donations thus far. This is a great community and I’m happy to be a part of it!

I'm turning 46 next week. Age doesn't phase me, but the impact on my health does. I used to mountain bike, do Wing Chun, and front an energetic band. I was vegan and didn't drink. I was very healthy. Later in life I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Lots of things started to make sense. I find motivating myself to exercise quite difficult, though it is good for my general wellbeing.
I have a 4 year old and work 11 hour days 4 days a week, then have 3 days off.
There are clearly some very fit people who use this forum, and there are us well meaning wanna give it a goes. I thought it might be start a mutual help and motivation thread, so go on, give me a motivational kick up the rear!

@Stuart.T great post. I’ve moved it in order to bump this existing thread and to avoid unnecessary duplication.
I’m on my hols for a few more days and I’m receiving guests in Norway at the end of the month whom I intend to eat and drink excessively with. But the first week in August I’m getting on it again and would love to share experiences.
A combination of injuries and illness for the last 7-8 months have meant that I’ve lost a lot of my heath and fitness gains I’d developed over the previous few years so I’m very motivated. One thing worth knowing at the outset is that motivation is great but it is like teenage love. It is very intense and inspiring but it does not last. Discipline and mental fortitude are the skills to learn if you want to make a meaningful difference to your health and fitness.
By-the-by, my wife has bi-polar type II (not an IH jacket) and can attest to the efficacy of regular training. At the same time she can attest to the difficulty of achieving that because of that particular condition. Looking forward to bringing life back to this thread.
