LARRY THE CPA
Today I chat with Larry, the CPA, who is 58, 5’9”, 168 pounds, and is in fantastic shape! He has been running and biking for 30+ years. Even during the insanely busy tax season he keeps working out. It is not as intense of a schedule as the off season, but still works out 3-4x a week, sometimes getting in a spin class at the gym early in the morning, and does at least one long bike ride on the weekends. Making sure to take care of himself and getting these workouts in makes him feel energized and able to handle such a heavy work load during his busy season.

Listen to what his tipping point was so many years ago as a spectator of the NYC marathon in the 1980s. There was this really overweight guy running this marathon and he was watching it. This tipped him to think if THIS guy can do it, HE can do it too! So he started running, got in shape, and shed a lot of pounds. In fact, we ended up doing the Marine Corp marathon together in 1983!

Recently, Larry did an incredible three day bike trip 180 miles on the C & O Canal towpath that parallels the Potomac River and was very significant and historic in early days of the United States for trade. Learn more about this amazing trail: http://www.nps.gov/choh/index.htm. Listen to my chat with Larry, the CPA, and be inspired by his 30+ years of dedication to his health and fitness and his recent 180 mile bike ride.

NO TIME TO EXERCISE MOM?
It helps to get a bike or treadmill at home to fill the gap when you just cannot get out of the house. Put it on in the t.v. room with the kiddos and toys if need be. You don’t have to spend thousands on a fancy treadmill or bike. Think about getting it online on a Craig’s list or Kijiji in February when other people have given up on their New Year’s Resolutions. You are worth the investment for this equipment and the investment of time to take care of yourself. You will never be sorry for the workout you did do!
