Penguin Fit

In Middle and High School I was that kid in gym class who was chosen last. I don't know how, but I made the basketball team two years in a row. It was a small school; they didn't have a lot of options. However, I used that time well. While my teammates scored touchdowns on the court, I was busy reading the first aid kit literature. Fast forward a couple of years, I was a student athletic trainer for my University's Woman's Soccer and Basketball teams. Again, not really sure how I managed that one, but I learned a lot. I still had no athletic ability or comprehension of nutrition as I entered into my twenties.

When I was 27 years old I made one of the greatest decisions of my life: I joined the Army. Yes, you heard me. The bench warmer who could BARELY do three push ups. I've always believed God had my back and I could do anything. Turns out, I was right. In fact, I had no idea what I was capable of achieving.

When you are a Soldier, being fit is your responsibility. Being fit is an individual responsibility, no one else can do it for you. So, I learned and I kept trying. I found out what worked and what did not. I trained along side my fellow Soldiers and then eventually, I helped train others. It's one thing to train yourself, it's quite another to train someone else.
