Success Stories
Posted On 2009-05-14
I have been working out every day by shoveling dirt and compost to make a garden. When I started I thought shoveling dirt was the easiest way to go. I had no idea that all that shoveling was so much work. I have really gotten a lot less tired after all that exercise. My arms look better and I am getting the vegetable garden of my dreams too.

I discovered an amazing way to get some cardio exercise without having to leave your home. All you need is a house with stairs and you have your own gym right there! I will start off with running up and down the stairs 20 times. Then I cool down with some leg exercises at the base of the stairs. You can do so many things with stairs it's crazy! Pulling yourself up the staris with your arms is a very good arm strengthening routine. Be creative; it's spectacular what you can think up when you have the energy to.

well i think this program has helped me out alot before the challenge i was a lazy overweight sixteen year old i weighed two hundred and ten pounds and now i only weigh one hundred and eighety five pounds i feel great i love to be able to run the mile without having to stop every certain time in the track while i watch all of my friends run past me it also feels great to have people look at you and say you sure do look thin today and the best part of it is going home and looking at yourself in the mirror and not feeling so bad about youre personal image actually saying tonight im gonna go show the world what im all about and that yes i might still be overweight but hey i bet i can run faster than you and do so many things you cant do and thats why i love the governors challenge and i just wanted to say thanx to the 24 hour fitness staff in La Mesa
