How Did You Get Started?

I started working out seriously when I turned 40. I looked in the mirror and knew I had to make some changes to myself and my lifestyle. I quit smoking and purchased a membership at the closest gym I could find (which was 20 miles away). I drove 40 miles roundtrip, 4 times a week to workout. I was very dedicated.
