The year is 2006. I've just "retired" from my short NFL career, and I am trying to figure out what to do next.

Since I always loved training and working out and fitness in general, I figure I might as well get certified as a personal trainer and work doing that in the meantime while I think about what I want to do for a "real job" (here we are 13 years later, hasn't happened yet! - ha)

Well I do get certified, and get a job at a corporate chain gym. The first week I am there, while we are in training, I take my Body Mass Index (BMI). This is a standard measurement of fitness and overall health. 

My BMI comes out at about 36 - which is in the "severely obese" category.

And ya - I had some muscle - but really? Severely obese?

That kind of disgusted me to be honest 🤢

It hit me like a ton of bricks.

It was a pivotal moment, and it really helped me make up my mind to lose the weight.

Here is the thing. Now I got this super-high BMI reading, I knew I needed to make a change, but I didn't know exactly HOW to do it.

In my football days, we would train for hours every day. And that DID work. BUT - my schedule in my new job was getting full, my (fiancee at the time, now wife) had just moved across the country, we were getting married soon ... I simply did not have the time to work out for hours on end every day.

Actually, I really only had 20 or 30 minutes.

So I went back to the drawing board. I researched everything I could get my hands on. 

I ended up with fast, effective, "Crossfit-style" workouts that could be done 3-4 days per week, using things like kettlebells and bodyweight.

I was highly skeptical, because it was TOTALLY different than what I had done before.

But it WORKED!

I lost 64 pounds over the next 7 months, and have kept it off, over 13 years later, to this day.



And now I have codified my plan into a system:
