Hi ,

So... last Wednesday I came home from work and the weather was so beautiful that I decided to go on a bike ride through my neighborhood. There was a gentle breeze blowing, the temperature was a very comfortable 60°F, and the sun was starting its slow descent...a glorious spring evening!

The bike ride was just what I needed after a day at the office, and what a great way to warm up for my gym workout, I thought to myself. Twenty minutes later, I returned home, after an awesome ride.

I slowed down to get off the bike, pulled up on the handlebars and cleared the first step of my driveway. Then I was lining up to pull up on the second step when my rear wheel caught. I came to a sudden stop and my body lurched forward. Trying hard not to go over the handlebars, I came down with my weight over my hands, throwing all of the dynamic loading on my chest muscles— imagine a midair benchpress!

I felt a sickening rip as my right pec started to give, followed by deep throbbing pain.

"So I’ve managed to avoid a pec tear in the gym for more than 30 years, training carefully, only to do this!?" I thought. I was so mad at myself, I was fit to be tied!

Fortunately, my worst fears have not become reality, in other words, I don’t have a full pec tear, thank God. I do have very nasty bruising from the strained pec, but it looks like it’s going to be alright. I’m planning to be training it again in the gym in a few weeks. Now, I’m going to do some rehab on it with my sports medicine doctor.

Not exactly what I had wanted, but I know it’s only a temporary setback. It’s normal to hit setbacks from time to time that impede our training progress, but you just have to work around it.

When I made a lifelong commitment to staying fit, I realized that there is no giving up. I remind myself that it’s a marathon, not a race. It’s a lifestyle and not a passing thing.

I’m going to get back in the gym and I’m going to figure out what I can do. I’m going to focus on the muscles that I can train. I’m going to train around this injury and do my best until my pec fully heals.

Perhaps you too, have encountered a setback recently? If so, just remember to keep pushing on and do what you can. It’s about the journey and not the destination; that’s what counts.

You can picture it in your mind … You, the perfect pair of jeans, and a lean, toned body to rock them with confidence. The only thing standing between you and your new jean-strutting self is a few extra pounds – and they’re hanging on for dear life! But don’t lose hope. Armed with this handy list of what foods to avoid for fat loss, you’ll be fitting into smaller sizes before you know it!

"The greatest challenge I had to face was the fact that I suffer from exercise-induced asthma. Lifting weights was no problem, but cardio would easily trigger an asthma attack. So I had to pace my workouts to a slow pace and always keep my inhaler. It reminded me of the fable of "The Tortoise and the Hare", which teaches you that discipline and perseverance can be more powerful than natural born talent, or having everything set in your favor."
