Hail Fellow Fitness Nerds!

[gatorphysics]

Hello!

 

My name's Jorge and I'm a 32 year old nerd (seriously, I'm a physicist, hah).  I'm also a nerd that's now into the fitness scene.  

 

In January, while waiting for the birth of my second daughter, I hit my max weight of 213lbs (my race is incapable of exceeding that weight limit).  After a routine visit to the cardiologist, I was driving home and noticed bright orange flags waiving in the air near our home.  A quick right turn led me to a strip mall with a small fitness center as the corner anchor.  Looked almost like a tanning salon given the orange hue of the lights.  After an hour introductory class and many calories burned, I was hooked.

 

Fast forward to today.  Weighing 175lbs and in the best endurance type shape since high school, it's been a long journey since I found that small center.  Seems that high intensity interval training coupled with a moderately decent diet works wonders for someone's health.

 

And so now begins phase 2 of the journey.  Everyone can eat well and exercise.  But I'm trying something I would never do in a million years.  And I'll have to conquer my biggest fears in order to do it.  And it's going to be fun.  Or I'll die trying.  But at least my life insurance policy kicks in.
