GOT TO SWEAT: DAY NINETY NINE WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?

I was truly blessed to be brought up by two parents that were athletes that provided me the playing field of competition, dedicated drive, and the fun of team sports. Through my experiences I gained the skills of a deep deep 3 point shot, a tenacious powerful tennis serve, and the determined heart to compete with focused fierce vigor like no other. I was on championship teams, and experienced the cellar, but as an athlete it is what your perspective of the game and what your intentions are that truly determines the outcome of its affect in your life. In my life it was a place to release, gain self confidence, interact with others, and understand the abilities of how to win, prepare, practice, and truly fight for common goals with other striving individuals. I played intensive sports from the age of five to about fourteen (baseball, basketball, American football, futbol (soccer) & tennis) and then went onto high school just focusing on American football and one year of basketball (where I learned endurance that is still with me today). Sports has also taught me the importance of fitness. If any of you know me throughout my life I have struggled with fat cells/my weight. Even though I was a tall and big kid it was always an inner struggle since I LOVE TO EAT. I am a savory sweet kind of guy that binges and can mack with the best of them. In the exercise world it is so important to understand the know how of the body and how to maintain goodness throughout your life. In fifth grade I believe,  my PE class was introduced to Ironman TriAthlete Ms. Leslie Skow. She put us through the fitness tests. BMI, flexibility, pull ups, sit ups, agility, and the treacherous mile run that I truly loathed. It wasn't until someone stole my mountain bike 15+ years later that I actually enjoyed long distant running, but that mile run was a place that I was stuck in the back of pack for all to see and I couldn't doing anything about. I have overcome all that embarrassment and am an avid runner knocking of daily 4-7 mile runs no problem and love it (discovered the RUNNERS HIGH). Through that experience and ongoing self observation/experimentation I have finally understood and got in control of my metabolism. This has allowed me to celebrate a delicious diet, know where my limits exist, and maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle. I can't stress enough though the significance of providing oneself the opportunity to have the ability to LET GO with exercise. To push yourself to a place that is energizing that will assist your body to shed weight, get rid of unwanted toxins inside and out, and freely let the flow of the body nurture your glowing soul bringing an inspired peace of mind to you every day. I believe its a MUST to sweat. So many of us bottle up all our stress through over thinking, over working, over analyzing and never give the body the time to BE FREE and really drain out all the nonsense we seem to store in our vessels.

One thing I constantly struggle to deal with is consistent sleep. Sleep is so so so important to give your body rest and peace to do its thing.
