Summer lurks

The hilarious thing about a summer body,is that we start working on it in summer.

The gym in winter is like a ghost town. Those debit orders keep going through while you're snuggled up with your electric blanket. The problem with inactivity, is that we also consume goods to keep us warm.

Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, lattes... Throw in the full cream milk... Throw in the sugars... Throw in a muffin and come Spring Break, you are doomed. While the ripped jocks are comparing notes on protein shakes, you're the dude at the man-made beach in the over-sized T-shirt barely putting your toes in the water.

You might as well just bring an empty two litre bottle and collect 'sea water'... Yes and Sun City and no I don't know what you're gonna do with it... That's between you and you personal trainer.

Now I've never been in ripped-model shape,but as a former obese kid I have made major strides to be healthy and lose weight. It's all in the commitment... Don't lie to yourself, just keep it consistent.

I workout for several reasons. Firstly for my health... The only thing that's going to kill me is old age. Secondly, I love sports and I'm far too competitive to not do my best out there. When you're fit, you make smarter decisions. Lastly, my love of clothing means fabric has to take certain shape on my frame... I wear suits,they do not wear me.

Let's get up, drink some water, ensure that we break a sweat at least three times a week and consume goods that will benefit us. You don't want to be swimming in a Head Honcho T-shirt.
