blu64 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hi everybody:So I joined some time ago but never followed through. I think now is the time. I am a middle aged guy who discovered Taikwondo about 4 1/2 years ago. when I started I weighed in at 350lbs, couldn't do a push-up, and could barely go up a set of stairs. I have made some great progress during that time. My weight is down to 272lbs, I can do 36 push ups in one minute and 50 sit ups in one minute. I have achieved a black belt in TKD, and put on a lot of muscle. However I have really slacked off in the last 4 months and I know I still have a long way to go. besides just improving my overall level of fitness, I need to lose another 60-70 pounds and eventually be able to do my two mile run in 21:30.tonight I am going to try out a school where I am hoping to begin my training in Aikido. Wish me luck.I am also on Fitocracy, and Myfitnesspal if you want to Join me there. Link to comment

cline Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Yeah lots of *ahem* people w life experience...... Kicking ass! Welcome! I'm in the best shape of my life at 44. Awesomeness will be yours. I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.
