MINNEAPOLIS - Jan. 4, 2014 - PRLog -- I was an active teenager involved in sports and in great shape. I remember shooting my mouth off to my father and other neighborhood dads that I would never get out of shape like them. Of course, they smiled and in their infinite wisdom knew what lie ahead for me. I someday too, would be putting hard earned money to "my waist".

My physical demise was slow and deliberate, beginning in college with full class loads while working full time as a night shift security guard, continuing throughout my early career as a consultant taking actuarial exams. At 36, I was an out of shape husband, father of three, working long hours with consistent travel. Maybe my fate was sealed, and my glory days of a youthful lean physique were gone.

But, I never give up, so I researched the fitness and nutrition literature to learn how to maximize my success within my time constraints. Through trial and error, I figured out how to re-structure my workouts and diet, making significant progress early on before hitting the wall within a few months. I was also becoming bored with the exercise machines for cardio workouts, like the treadmill and exercise bike.

One day, my 4^th grade daughter came home from school excited to show me how many jumps in a row she could do with a jump rope! As I watched her, it rekindled my memories of how much I loved jumping rope in high school as part of my summer training program for high school football. I also had been reading about high intensity interval training as the best way to burn fat, and I knew jumping rope was the perfect exercise for interval cardio training. Plus it was easier on my joints as a middle ager!

Not only did I burn fat, I also had a great time re-learning many of the cool tricks I could do with the rope back in my youth, recapturing my coordination!

With some simple corrections to my workouts and diet, I realized my goal. Throughout my forties and today at 52, I have maintained my level of health and fitness, feeling younger than I did throughout my twenties and thirties. So I say to you, "age is just a number", and if I can do it, its never to late for you to do it too.

Good luck to all those in pursuit of that healthy life stlye
