First off, let's get on track.. anyone else in here a fitness freak?
If not, you probably shouldn't even read on.
Anyway.. I live in Hollywood, I'm a 24 hour fitness member BUT my ex works at Equinox (posh posh gym here in west hollywood) so I'm lucky enough (on the days she is working) to visit that gym and use it's facilities.. I don't feel bad, I just don't really feel like paying a $499 initiation fee and a $149.00 a month in membership dues.. I'm happy with my $24.99 charge at 24 hour.
I'm sure many of you are just like "well, why not just go to 24 hour?" well, let me tell you this.. with the cost of Equinox and the type of clientèle it services.. it's much easier for me to get around on the equipment without having to wait.
Anyway, today I visited Equinox and to my surprise, the gentleman working out next to me near the smith machine was mr. Ryan Reynolds.. So I'm like "whoaa".. I don't EVER get star struck, but I just respect this guy.. he's a great actor, funny, and is into motorcycles much like me. So in between my sets and his I bring up motorcycles, which we discuss for a few minutes before his out.
The time talking to him.. I noticed, (not in a gay way) that we're both 6'2" and roughly the same exact upper body build (long torsos, high obliques, shoulders).
SO long story short (too late right?) I'm using this guy as my goal by April (26th birthday) of next year (2010).. I'm about 190 pounds now, 13.2% body fat, but I'm going to get myself to 195 pounds and 7/8% body fat by that time (easily doable in 6 months).
So, anyone want to take any bets? I have a buddy who's a trainer who is going to push me and I have 2 triathlons coming up in spring of next year I'd like to tear up.
Who else here is into this stuff? have anyone you use as inspiration? I almost feel like if you have something visually to look at, it makes the desire to reach the goal that much better. Best part of the story is that when I got home today, I had left the TV on for the dog and Amityville Horror was on (the re-make).. which has Reynolds in it.. funny shit right?
If you are a fitness fool like myself, and have any questions (exercise or ways to shed pound or put on weight) hit me up, if I can't answer it.. I'll pass it along to my buddy trainer.
This is my goal by April, 2010
This thread probably couldn't get any "gayer".. but oh well right?
