Hello All. Welcome to my Gold's Gym Biggest Loser 2 Blog. The competition is full steam ahead and the contestants are doing great. Look out for live updates from time to time on the show. They are all psyched about the prizes and of course the grand prize trip to Jamaica from Ann at Friends Travel. When I hosted the kickoff event on Jan. 19 there were lots of cheers at what they would be competing for.
My story is simple. When Frank and Mike from Gold's Gym decided to come on the show with me every other Wednesday, I figured this was a great opportunity to get myself into shape again. With my little baby Lia Rose on the way at the time I really needed to lose weight, drop body fat, lower my blood pressure, and strengthen my back. I don't want to be a dad that can't get up to play with his child. Well, I'm happy to report that I'm down 15 pounds, I've lowered my body fat and my blood pressure, and I'm not done yet. Mike and his assistant Jenny train me 3 times per week and it's the thing I look most forward to other than going home to my child. I feel great, I'm not out of breath, and I recommend it to all.
The coolest part of the whole experience is that I haven't stepped on one treadmill or benched press one pound. At Gold's they are all about changing your body and changing your life with the best training methods around that won't leave you bored. I'm doing speed training at their Parisi Speed School as well as Kinesis on their state of the art equipment at the Islip location. It's the most amazing gym I've ever seen and even has a 30 yard football field at the Speed School. You really should go down there and get a tour if you're interested in feeling better and looking better.
In future blogs I will be giving you behind the scenes info. on my day to day training. Speak to you all again soon!
