Yeah, I recently put down my beer and got out of my Lazy-Boy recliner to start getting back in shape. I used to work out in the gym 3 days a week and run at least a mile, 5 or 6 days a week when I was a LEO. I was a combat shooter and physically active when I taught at the Academy. I got run over by a car while working an accident one day. I was injured enough that I took a Med-Retirement, I let myself go for several years. My injuries really took the wind out of my sails and I just gave up. I just kept praying and working myself back into that old mindset again, of the warrior attitude to be ready for what I believe may be comming ahead in the future. Actually, it was one of Gabe Suarez's email newsletters that kind of opened my eyes and smacked me around.

Years ago . . . 25-or-so years ago . . . I was an Army Reserve Drill Sergeant. At the time, being the conscientious cat that I am, I would keep fit with 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups every morning AND every night! Now, at my advanced years (61), I can barely knock out 25 push-ups without huffing and puffing like a weenie. Don't know about the sit-ups. I figure that if I get myself on the floor on my back, I'd likely fall asleep. I'll have to give it a try and report back...once I wake up.

banger was that article titled physical fitness for gunfighters? i saved and printed that one and read it regularly. did not do good last week. not one workout, unless you count work. i walk alot at work but it doesn't count. I normally do the LAPD Academy workout . I| am giving it a tweak though, going for time rather than reps. and i walk these days. bad ankle, bad knees but i walk uphill as fast as i can. i need to get some cadences to put in my MP3 player. nothing like having the Drill Sgt in your ear!!! I am glad to see more people on this board getting more into the warrior's mentality. we as men and women and as a country will be better off if more of us can get into proper mindset and action. Gabe really motivates me when i read that article and when i am at WT , there are many people there that i learn from and hope that i contribute as well. and Gabe's dvd are great too. i can't make classes but i get the dvd{ only one so far} and work the drills and so forth. i changed my grip based on his teaching and it made a tremendous difference. i wish i had had that knowledge earlier.gotta check in on some threads then i gotta work out.
