Know your body.

So i and the kids slept in till 10 this morning that was nice. But coming to the gym was a decision I had to make. My body and mind was fighting, my body was willing to do the work, but my mind was telling me to stay home. What is your mind telling you this morning?

Frank: Tough Guy

Frank

            In life, sometimes we are inspired by other people. We could be inspired by many things that people are doing in their lives.  One example is by what they are doing on a daily basis to keep their selves strong and healthy.  For myself, there is one person that has inspired me and that I admire.  His name is Frank. 

                Frank is a true inspiration for me.  He is 80 years young, living in Clearwater with his beautiful wife.  They have two children; a son and a daughter.  At 80 years old, Frank is 6’2” and 290 pounds and comes to the gym frequently. We both do our workouts at the Monticello Community Center. I have been coming to the center now for the past 3 years.  Every time I come into workout I see Frank.  I always make sure to say hello to him.  At times we also find ourselves having great conversations. 

I asked Frank why he trains during the week.  He says to me that he likes to keep himself healthy and moving.  A few years back, he got in an accident and acquired an injury in his ankle; so for him working out helps to keep his leg strong.  Training also helps to keep his mood uplifted and he really enjoys coming to the center to be around all the friendly people.  “Training will keep me strong,” he stated.  Coming to the gym every morning and seeing him working out, even at his age, helps me to work even harder.  I guess it also goes both ways because he has also told me he admires me too, saying, he would like to be like me one day.

I just want to say thank you to Frank for giving me the opportunity to get to know him and allowing me to write this article about him and our friendship at the gym.  May God bless you and add many more years to your life.
