DAY 34

DAY 34 - Saturday

Don't Get Chubby!

Saturday's class was MUCH bigger than Friday night's small gathering of Nick's Pro Fitness followers.  Many more people showed up for a Saturday morning workout this Holiday weekend.  As we were stretching out, getting ready for the beat-down about to take place, Nick wanders over to a small group of us and starts chatting.  As we spoke, Nick gave one of the most inspirational and note-worthy quotes I have heard in a long time: "If you're not exercising and staying in shape, than you're chubby!  And you don't want to be chubby."  Hmm.  Monumental.  That line pretty much summed up the two years of my life prior to coming to Nick's Pro Fitness to take part in this Fitness Challenge.  It's all Nick had to say on Day 1 to get me signed up and in the gym.

To hear Nick, who is typically full of inspirational and thought-provoking speaches, say the word: "chubby" made us all laugh out loud.  I don't know if it was the word, or just the simplistic reality of the observation that we all found so funny and true.  The laughter was a great way to start the day.  It really did set the tone for the rest of the workout as we struggled to keep up with Nick's frantic pace and aggressive spirit this Saturday morning.  And Nick was right.  If I wasn't there at Nick's Pro Fitness that bright, sunny Saturday morning, I might have been home or someone else getting "chubby".  And who wants to be chubby?

This has been an amazingly tough, and invigorating, six weeks of working out at Nick's Pro Fitness.  Six days a week.  90 minutes a day.  To date, I have lost a total of 16 pounds and I feel great.  I can definately feel that my muscle mass has grown and I have more energy throughout the day.  For those of you reading this who do not live in Evergreen, but are inspired - or at least intrigued - by my experiences at Nick's Pro Fitness, I encourage you to do something about it.  Get out of the house and exercise.  If you feel that Evergreen is just too far to drive for a workout, at least give it a try.  Just once!  Nick holds his Fitness Conditioning Classes six (6) days a week, 2 times a day.  Go online to http://www.nicksprofitness.com/ and check out the schedule.  And then come on up for ONE class!  It is absolutely worth the drive just to give it a try and see the special bond that Nick has with his members, and that everyone has with each other.  Nick's Pro Fitness truly is unlike ANYTHING I have seen.  And you owe it to yourself to at least come up one day out of your life to give it a try.  Remember this: there are several members of Nick's Pro Fitness that live in the Denver area and make the commute daily.  It MUST be worth it for them!
