Haven't exercised in 15 years. Dedicated that time to taking care of young kids. They are older now, so time to get back into exercising.
The idea of Strength training has always appealed to me, but never having access to the awesome resources that Mark has contributed, it just never happened when I was young and eager.
Well finished my very first week of starting strength and loving it.
