Nice one Benni, hopefully a decent thread that won't turn to shit like all the others seem to have done lately.
I started out in my late teens for two reasons. Firstly I used to do alot of running and other sports and ended up injured quite a bit so thought the gym would be a better way to get my sporty kicks without the impact of running.
Secondly, and quite sad really, I live in a seaside town which is busy as hell in the summer and deserted all winter. Literally nothing to do so being young I thought I would get fit during the winter to help my case with the young ladies that holiday here throughout summer.
Now its in my system, a hobby I enjoy doing. I do get fed up with it from time to time as I've done it for so long but a little time off soon sees me clucking to return to training.
