stress and poor metabolic health played a major role.
After years of corporate job pressure, followed by a fast paced aerospace startup, it finally caught up and my body gave out both physically and mentally. In fact, I was eventually hospitalized and it took years to recover.
What’s so ironic about that life experience and now looking back, it didn’t have to be. There were physical and mental signs along the way that I ignored… I just didn’t know. In fact, with what I know now… I could have thrived through those demanding times.
It took years but I did recover, applying early elements of my work that gave birth to 2X.TRAINING and the super-efficient and effective method of Adaptive Resistance Training or A.R.T. for short. Based on my life experience, and my health and fitness work over the past 16 years, I have fine tuned this approach so that you can also benefit.
Fitness and resistance training has always been an important part of my life. It’s when I swayed from fitness that my physical and mental health went negative. To support my sports performance, I started fitness and weight training at the age of 13… saving my allowance to buy an old barbell set. My life has also included significant movement in the form of martial arts, although I would say I am a bit rusty in that regard… lol.
This is where I am now… at the age of 66… when it comes to my fitness and health I will not compromise. So does this mean I am a deprived over dedicated train-aholic and that’s all I focus on? This is not the case. My nutrition is pretty dialed I will say that and that certainly plays a big role. But most people would be amazed at how little workout time I spend weekly… and that is the magic 2X.TRAINING.
If this rings true… my story… or you have similar aspraitions… I have been there and have the experience to guide you.
