| Chicago Bear and National Football Hall Fame Running Back Walter Payton and His Notorious Hill that ran during the off season |
Almost 20 years ago, I developed the habit of
working out as a Syracuse University (SU) lacrosse player and
under the guidance of then SU strength coach Mike Woicik. Mike is now with the
Dallas Cowboys. I've seen my share of former college and pro athletes that have
lost the battle of the bulge and let themselves go. Similarly Mike has told me how he has run into former college
and pro athletes that he had worked with who had become so out of shape that he
did not recognize them! Lots of us have been on both sides of that embarrassing
experience. Mike explained, “It’s about
changing your lifestyle.” I gained weight after knee surgery and hours sitting
at a desk as a writer. Last year around this time, I read a book that has made
a big difference--Move a Little, Lose A Lot. The book has made me become intentional
about reading and writing in a standing position whenever possible. For
example, I am writing this in a standing position and at a fit desk (see the
link below). Working while moving is also great for people like me who have
severe ADHD. During the summer months I also returned to what I did when I was a college player about to return to school for the
start of my senior year with the goal of earning a starting position during
fall ball and winning a national championship in the spring.
