Send Me a Trainer Winston-Salem

Yesterday was pumpkin carving day at our house—or should I say, pumpkin “decorating” day, minus the usual knives and gooey insides.

Usually, Kenna and I go all out: cut off the pumpkin’s “head,” scoop out its guts, and make faces scary enough to send the neighbors running.

But life’s been nuts lately, so I’ve been at the car lot late. Beth, being the wise one, decided to give the girls paints and markers instead.

Less mess, less danger, and still all the fun.

Watching them made me think of Psalm 8:3-4, where David looks up at the vast night sky and says, “When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?”

The big idea here is one that’s hard to ignore: the God who made everything, who set every star in place, still thinks about us.

And just like Beth’s quick thinking created a new way to carve pumpkins, God creatively and personally meets us where we are.

Gospel at Work

Psalm 8 is a reminder of two things: the majesty of God and His incredible love for us. In our fallen condition, we tend to overlook this love.

We fill our days with endless to-do lists and often forget how much God actually cares for us.

Just like my work kept me from spending as much time with my girls, we can be “too busy” for God.

We get caught up in our lives and miss the wonder that He wants to share with us.

The Fallen Condition

In our human condition, we’re naturally self-focused. It’s like thinking that carving a pumpkin is only “real” if it’s messy and complicated.

We tend to think that we have to be enough, do enough, and impress enough to matter.

But that’s our broken nature talking.

We’ve forgotten our value as God’s creation and instead base it on how productive or successful we are.

Christ Connection

Here’s where the Gospel hits home. Christ, God’s own Son, came down to show us that our value isn’t based on what we do, but on who God is.

Through Jesus, we see that God’s love doesn’t require us to be flawless or to perform some spiritual version of a “perfect carving.”

Jesus came to bridge that gap, to remind us that our worth is in being God’s children, not in how much we accomplish.

Application

So, here’s my takeaway: don’t get caught up in the mess and danger of trying to “do” enough or be enough to earn God’s love.

Instead, embrace the freedom of being known and loved by Him just as you are.

You don’t have to carve a masterpiece out of your life for it to be meaningful.

Paint your pumpkins with what you have—God is there, smiling, proud of you for just being His.

Next time you feel like you’re just “not enough,” look up at the stars, remember who placed them, and know that He’s thinking of you.

Yesterday, my dad spent the morning blowing a massive pile of leaves from the backyard to the front yard.

Not to clean up the yard—nope—but to create a giant leaf pile for the kids to jump into.

Naturally, when Ryker got home, she leaped out of the car as fast as she could and dove right into the mess, laughing and playing with pure joy.

It made me think of Romans 12:1: "Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship."

Paul is reminding us that following Jesus isn’t about checking boxes or just showing up at church—it’s about giving everything we are to Him.

Our lives, our time, even our joy, are meant to be acts of worship.

Now, if I’m honest, I usually like things tidy and predictable.

Blowing leaves into a pile for someone else to mess up wouldn’t be my first choice.

And yet, that’s exactly what God calls us to do—jump into the mess of life, give our best to Him, and live like everything we do is worship.

Our fallen nature says, "Take care of yourself first," but Jesus turns that upside down. He gave everything for us so that we could live freely, fully, and without holding back.

Watching Ryker run into that pile with no hesitation is the perfect picture.

She didn’t worry if it was the “right” way to play, or if the leaves would make a mess.

She just trusted that the pile was there for her joy.

And that’s what God invites us into—a life where we don’t tiptoe around, but dive in headfirst, knowing we are already loved and accepted.

So here’s the challenge: What does it look like for you to "jump in"? What’s one area where you’ve been holding back from God, thinking it’s too messy or not good enough?

Remember, Christ already made you holy and acceptable. You don’t serve to earn His love—you serve because you already have it.

Here’s the takeaway:

Live with joy and abandon. Don’t hold back because you think you’re not enough. In Christ, you are.

Sacrifice isn’t about loss. When you give your life as a living sacrifice, you gain more of Him.

Messy is okay. Life doesn’t have to look perfect for God to be in it.
Find your "leaf pile" today and jump in.

Yesterday was one of those moments that made me smile as a dad.

We were getting ready for church, and my middle child, Kenna, who thinks I’m the best (which, of course, I love), decided she was going to dress like me.

She grabbed my old college football sweatshirt—the one I wore when I was 308 pounds as an offensive lineman—and threw on an Under Armor hat, backward, just like I wear mine.

That’s how she proudly walked into church. It was cute, funny, and totally carefree.

In an age where most kids start to get concerned about what others think of them, Kenna didn’t seem to care.

She was just happy to be associated with me, and she wanted everyone to know it.

It made me think about how we often get caught up worrying about what others think.

We stress about our image, how we’re perceived, and what the future holds.

But then I think of Matthew 6:34, where Jesus says, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Kenna, in her own way, reminded me of that truth.

She wasn’t concerned about what others thought.

She was just happy to be connected to me, just as we should be confident in our identity in Christ.

We don’t need to worry about tomorrow, about how we’ll be perceived or what might come next.

Just like Kenna proudly wore that oversized sweatshirt, we should proudly wear the identity we have as God’s children.

Here’s the big idea: Worry is a natural part of our fallen condition, but when we truly understand who we are in Christ, we realize that worry doesn’t have to control us.

The gospel shows us that Jesus took care of our greatest worry—our sin.

He provided the ultimate security through His life, death, and resurrection.

If He’s taken care of that, we can trust Him with everything else, too.

The problem is, we often get caught up in the daily grind, the "what ifs" and "what nexts."

But Jesus calls us to rest in Him, knowing He’s got it all under control.

Our fallen nature makes us want to grab control, but the gospel tells us to let go.

So, what’s the takeaway?

Trust God with your tomorrows – Just like Kenna wasn’t worried about what others thought, we shouldn’t be either. Jesus has already secured our future.

Embrace your identity in Christ – If we really understand who we are in Him, worry starts to fade. You’re loved, you’re chosen, and you’re secure.

Live in the present – Let tomorrow worry about itself. Focus on today, knowing God’s already ahead of you.

So, next time worry starts to creep in, think of Kenna and that oversized sweatshirt. Be proud of who you are in Christ, and trust Him with everything else. He’s got this.

From the Bench to the Starting Line: You’re Not a Lost Cause

Let me tell you a story about my son Axel.

This is his first year playing tackle football, and it hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing.

When the season started, he was benched—second-string, not getting much playtime.

He didn’t know the rules, didn’t have the experience, and wasn’t sure where he fit in on the team.

But something happened as the season went on. Axel kept showing up, kept learning, and now, he’s not just on the field—he’s playing both offense and defense and is the starting Middle Linebacker, and they have won their last two playoff games!

He went from barely touching the football to becoming one of the team’s go-to players. Watching his growth, I couldn’t help but feel proud.

Axel’s journey reminds me of something that applies to all of us, especially if you’re feeling lost or unsure of where you stand in life.

It mirrors what the Bible says in Philippians 1:6: “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

This means that even if you don’t feel like you’re "in the game" right now, God has a plan and purpose for your life, and He’s not going to leave you on the sidelines.

Maybe you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing in life, or maybe you think you’ve made too many mistakes to be worth anything.

But here’s the truth: just like Axel learned the game of football, you can learn to trust that God’s got a purpose for you, and He’s not giving up on you.

God has already started something good in your life, even if you don’t see it yet.

Here’s the key part: this isn’t something you have to earn. It’s not about trying harder or being perfect.

God isn’t waiting for you to clean up your act before He steps in. In fact, He’s already stepped into the mess.

That’s what Jesus did when He came into the world—He came for people who felt lost, broken, and unsure of their place.

Through Jesus, God has a plan to restore and guide you, just like He’s been doing with me, Axel, and millions of others who have put their faith in Him.

But the first step is recognizing that you can’t do it alone.

I’ve seen Axel struggle and grow through this football season, but he didn’t do it by himself.

His coaches, his team, and his family were there to support him.

And that’s what God wants to do for you. He wants to guide you, shape you, and show you the life He’s designed for you—a life filled with purpose, hope, and meaning.

Here’s the bottom line:

You don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

God is offering you a relationship through Jesus that will change everything.

And just like Axel went from second-string to the starting lineup, God wants to take you from feeling lost and unsure to knowing exactly where you belong.

Application Points:

Stop running the race alone – Life can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to do it all on your own. Jesus offers you a relationship where you don’t have to carry the burden alone.

Trust that God has started something good in you – Even if you can’t see it yet, God is at work in your life. He’s shaping you, guiding you, and preparing you for something greater.

Accept the invitation to be part of God’s team – Like Axel didn’t learn football in one day, you don’t need to have it all figured out right now. Start with trusting God’s plan, and let Him guide you one step at a time.

Maybe you’re feeling like life has you on the bench right now, unsure of your next step. But trust me—God hasn’t forgotten about you.

He’s already working, and He’s inviting you to be part of something greater. Will you trust Him with your next move?

If you’re ready to learn more about this journey, reach out. Let’s talk about what it means to know Jesus and be part of a life-changing story.

Why Pre-Work Matters—In Life and Faith

So, this week has been one for the books. Hands down, one of the busiest and hardest weeks I've had in the car industry.

And anyone who works with me knows I have a favorite saying for times like this: "Obstacles are opportunities." I say this so much, its become an inside joke at the lots :-).

My amazing business manager Gretchen and one of my sales guys, Dave, are off enjoying a well-deserved cruise.

That’s left me and Tyler to hold down the fort at the lot.

It’s been a challenge, to say the least.

So, I’ve set my alarm for 5 a.m. every day this week to make sure I can get my morning time with God and knock out all the pre-work before hitting the dealership at 9 a.m.

Let me tell you, the pre-work is where it’s at. Actually, scratch that—it’s more important than the work itself.

Without taking the time to focus on God first thing in the morning, my days would unravel quickly.

When I seek God’s face and draw closer to Him, I’m a better husband, father, boss—just a better human.

It’s not easy, especially when you’re running on fumes, but it’s necessary if you want to grow and become the person God has called you to be.

That’s where Ephesians 3:16 comes in: “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being.”

Paul knew what I’m learning—that true strength, the kind that keeps you going when life is hard, doesn’t come from within yourself.

It comes from God.

The Gospel at Work

Through Christ, we’re given access to God’s power. We’re not left to face life’s challenges alone.

Jesus’ death and resurrection mean that the Holy Spirit now lives within us, empowering us to live for God and face every obstacle that comes our way.

And we all know life is full of obstacles. But when we rely on God’s strength, we can push through them.

The Fallen Condition

The problem? We often try to do everything in our own strength.

We don’t think we need God’s help until we’re already burnt out.

I’ve been guilty of that more times than I’d like to admit. Our fallen condition makes us want to be self-sufficient, but the truth is, we’re not.

We need God’s strength daily.

Christ Connection

This is where Jesus steps in. He not only shows us the way, but He is the way.

Because of Him, we’re empowered by the Holy Spirit.

He conquered sin and death, and that same power is available to us today.

We don’t have to fight our battles alone. Jesus has already won the ultimate battle, and through Him, we have the strength to face every day.

Application Points

Start your day with God – Like me getting up at 5 a.m., carve out time to connect with Him. It sets the tone for everything else.

Rely on His strength, not yours – You can’t do it all, but God can. Let Him be your source of power.

Trust the process – The pre-work, the behind-the-scenes moments with God, are just as important (if not more) than what happens during the day. Don’t skip it.

Even on the busiest weeks, remember that obstacles really are opportunities to lean into God’s strength.

You’ve got this—but not because of you. Because of Him.

Today, I want to wish my dad, my hero, a happy birthday. Now, when I call him my hero, I don’t say that lightly.

This is the man who started his own construction company with my uncle—and it did great. But then, Dad felt called to something bigger, something eternal.

He packed up our family and moved us to Brazil as missionaries, where he spent 20 years making a massive impact.

Later, he became the field director for all of South America.

I mean, seriously, the stories I could tell: like the time Dad and I were digging 20-30 feet into the earth with shovels to find water, or the time we were held hostage at gunpoint in an Indian village.

Yeah, Dad doesn’t shy away from challenges.

And even when he came back to the States, he didn’t slow down. He was on staff at one of the fastest-growing churches in America, but that wasn’t enough.

For his “retirement gig,” Dad became a detention officer because he wanted to stay on mission and serve others.

That’s the kind of man he is—constantly living out his confession that Jesus is the Son of God, in everything he does.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned from him is that obstacles are really just opportunities.

And that’s what 1 John 4:15 is all about. "If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God."

It’s not just about saying the words; it’s about living them, day in and day out, like my dad has done his whole life.

The gospel at work here is simple but profound. Confessing Christ isn’t just a one-time event; it’s a lifelong journey.

It’s like my dad’s life—building wells in Brazil, helping lead a church, or even serving as a detention officer in retirement.

He lives every moment in that truth: Jesus is the Son of God, and because of that, God abides in him.

But here’s where our fallen condition comes in. As humans, we often avoid confession because we want control.

We want to dig our own wells, so to speak, without relying on God.

But the gospel flips that around.

Jesus, the ultimate well of living water, came to do what we couldn’t.

He stepped into our brokenness, into the mess, and made it possible for us to be in relationship with God through confession and faith.

Because of Jesus, we can stop digging for meaning and fulfillment on our own. He’s already done the work, and all we need to do is confess and live in that truth.

Application Points:

Confess and Live It – Like my dad, let your confession that Jesus is the Son of God shape everything you do. Whether it’s in your work, your family, or your retirement, live on mission.

Don’t Avoid the Hard Stuff – My dad didn’t back away from digging wells or serving others, even when it was tough. Step into the challenges knowing that God abides in you.

Embrace God’s Mission – Whether you’re called to serve abroad or right in your own community, remember that acknowledging Jesus means you’re never alone—He’s with you in every step.

So today, as I celebrate my dad, I also want to challenge you: are you living out your confession that Jesus is the Son of God? If not, there’s no better time to start. If you are, let it shape everything you do, just like my dad has done his entire life.

Happy birthday, Dad. You’re my hero. Thank you for showing me what it means to live for Christ.

So, I’ve been hitting the gym since I was 13.

To say I’m addicted would be an understatement.

But this week has been rough.

We’re short-staffed at New Era Motors—down from five to two—and I’m running on fumes.

Getting up at 5 a.m., working until 8 p.m., and somewhere in between, trying to keep my workout routine going.

I’ll be honest, getting to the gym has been a grind. But you know what?

The hardest part is showing up.

Once I get there and finish, I feel joy, I feel accomplished, and my confidence improves. And somehow, I’m a better leader because of it.

This reminds me of Romans 12:12: "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."

The Big Idea?

Paul is urging us to maintain joy, patience, and faith even when life throws curveballs.

Just like how I push myself to the gym for that feeling of accomplishment, Paul calls us to press into joy, patience, and prayer during life’s toughest seasons.

These are the spiritual disciplines that keep us going.

The Gospel at Work?

This isn’t about mustering up happiness or resilience from within—it’s about the power of Christ working through us. I

n the same way my workouts aren’t just about physical strength but also discipline and endurance, our spiritual lives require a consistent focus on Christ as our source of strength.

The Fallen Condition of Humanity?

Here’s the truth: we’re naturally impatient and want instant results.

Whether it’s in the gym, at work, or in our spiritual life, we often avoid hardship or try to control it ourselves.

We lose hope quickly when things don’t go our way, and we neglect prayer when we think we can handle things on our own.

The Christ Connection?

Jesus didn’t just endure suffering; He was patient, even when everything in Him could’ve called it quits.

He bore our afflictions on the cross, and through His resurrection, He gave us the ultimate hope.

It’s His life that gives us the strength to endure when we feel overwhelmed and to be joyful when things are tough.

Application?

Be Joyful in Hope – Like pushing through a tough workout, our hope is in Christ’s victory. Even when you feel like giving up, know that joy comes through perseverance.

Be Patient in Affliction – Just like I’ve had to work extra hard this week, patience in hardship produces character. Trust God’s timing.

Be Faithful in Prayer – When I’m stressed, I lean on my workouts. But more importantly, lean on prayer. Bring your frustrations, joys, and needs to God. He listens.

So, if you’re feeling the grind of life, remember that the hardest part is showing up—whether that’s in the gym or in your spiritual walk.

Keep going. Joy, peace, and strength are found in Him. God’s got you—just like He had me this week. Let’s press on together.

How Axel’s Football Game Taught Me About God’s Mission (And Winning in Life)

Saturday was one of those proud dad moments. Axel, my 11-year-old, had his first playoff game against the Indians—a team that had already beat them once.

Now, let me tell you, Axel doesn't love football. He's more of a laid-back Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu kid. But he’s gotten pretty good at football because he's given it his all.

And guess what? His team won! They're headed to the next round, and I couldn't be prouder.

As I watched Axel give it his best despite not loving the game, I started thinking about how often we do the same thing with God’s mission.

Just like Axel doesn't particularly love football, we don’t always love stepping out of our comfort zones.

We like our blessings, our routines, our lives. But God calls us to something bigger.

Psalm 67:1-4 reminds us that God’s blessings aren’t just for us. "May God be gracious to us and bless us... so that your ways may be known on earth."

God doesn’t bless us to hoard those blessings; He blesses us to be a blessing to others.

That’s the big idea—God’s mission is to extend His grace to the nations, to everyone.

Here’s where the gospel hits home. Just like Axel had to face a tough team, Jesus faced the ultimate challenge—our sin, our brokenness.

But where Axel was playing for a win, Jesus secured the ultimate victory for all of us, not just by winning the game but by defeating sin and death.

Through Him, God’s grace overflows beyond Israel to all nations, fulfilling Psalm 67’s call.

But let’s be honest—just like humanity, we often mess it up. We like to keep our blessings for ourselves.

We don’t naturally want to share, especially if it’s going to cost us time, effort, or comfort.

We can be selfish, lazy, and just plain fearful. That’s our fallen condition. We want to win the game without actually playing.

And that’s why Jesus is so vital. He stepped into our mess, took on the ultimate challenge, and now empowers us to live out the mission.

The gospel doesn’t just fix our brokenness; it transforms our hearts so that we want to share God’s blessings. It moves us from comfort to calling, from hoarding to sharing.

So, what’s the takeaway?

Get in the game – Like Axel, even if you don’t love stepping out of your comfort zone, do it anyway. God’s mission is bigger than your preferences.

Share the blessings – God didn’t bless you just for you. Look around. Who can you bless today? Who can you help experience the love and grace you’ve been given?

Live for something bigger – It’s not just about winning the next playoff game. It’s about living for something that matters. Let God’s purpose for the nations drive your actions today.

Axel’s playoff game? It’s just football.

But it reminded me of something deeper—when we give it our all for something bigger than ourselves, even when it’s hard, that’s when we truly win.

So, what will you give your all for today? God’s mission is waiting.

: Don’t just keep the blessing. Share it. It’s the only way to truly win in life.

Why I Need a Personal Assistant – And How It Fits Into My Mission

When you lead with a purpose bigger than yourself, things get busy—fast.

I’ve only been in the car industry for about a year, but as the General Manager of New Era Motors and Oak Auto NC, and someone whose why is rooted in transformation, I realize I can’t do it all on my own.

That’s where you might come in.

Let me explain.

I’ve been called to lead this team and this business like Moses, but to fully transform the culture and create lasting change, I need my Joshua by my side.

Whether you’re a man or a woman, I need someone who can help carry this mission forward.

Think of Deborah and Barak from the Bible: Deborah led with wisdom and strength, guiding Barak to victory.

That’s what I’m looking for—someone who will stand with me, taking this business to the next level while leading with integrity.

My life is guided by something bigger than just selling cars.

It’s about living out what Pastor Derwin Grey calls Upward, Inward, Outward: loving God completely, loving myself correctly, and loving others compassionately.

Here’s what that means for my leadership and why I’m looking for the right personal assistant:

Upward—Loving God completely is my foundation. It means leading with purpose and integrity in everything I do.

I’m not just in the car business for profit; I’m here to change lives—helping people find reliable transportation, mentoring my team, and creating a positive impact in every customer interaction.

But with that bigger mission, I need support to focus on what truly matters.

Inward—Loving myself correctly means recognizing my limits and knowing when to ask for help.

My workload as a GM is heavy, and while I’ve always been driven, I know that for me to grow and keep pouring into my team and customers, I need to focus on the things only I can do.

Having a personal assistant allows me to delegate the rest so I can stay on mission without burning out.

Outward—Loving others compassionately is the heart of what I do.

Whether it’s leading my team, serving customers, or giving back to my community, it’s about creating an atmosphere where people thrive.

But I can’t serve others to the best of my ability if I’m bogged down by tasks that someone else could handle.

I need someone by my side who shares my values and wants to help make a difference in the lives of those we serve.

What I’m Looking For in a Personal Assistant

You don’t need experience or formal education for this role—what matters most is your why and your work ethic.

You’ll start at the bottom, but if you’re willing to work hard and learn, you’ll work your way up quickly.

This isn’t a 9-to-5 job. It’s about calling leads, organizing inventory, helping with paperwork, running cars to our recon center, and making sure we’re on top of everything.

I’m looking for someone who’s passionate about people and driven to grow, just like me.

Male or female—it doesn’t matter, as long as you’re mission-driven.

I’ll personally mentor you—not just in the tasks of the job, but in understanding why we do what we do here.

Most people who work with me for at least a year end up making six figures—because they get it. They work from the same why, and they grow as leaders in their own right.

Note: If you didn’t take the time to read this all the way through, this most likely isn’t the right fit for you.

But if you did, and you’re ready to work hard, learn, and be part of a mission-driven team, I’d love to hear from you.

Send me your resume and a cover letter explaining why you think you’d be a great fit. Let’s make something special happen—together.

Yesterday, I received a DM from a former personal training client that truly made my day.

Four months ago, he was diagnosed with a rare blood clot—so rare that he became a case study in North Carolina.

The doctor’s advice? Surgery.

But against that advice, he started working out, eating healthier, and one month later, the clot was gone.

Now, he’s 75 days into his gym journey and training for the National Guard Reserve.

His message reminded me of why I do what I do, whether it's helping people regain their health or find a car that fits their needs.

Helping others improve their lives is my passion.

Sunday morning, I was trying to read when Ryker, my 4-year-old, decided I needed to play shopkeeper with her.

Naturally, I was “forced” to buy a $60 piece of bread, a $3 crayon, and a Peppa Pig hat for $25.

Ryker didn’t take "no" for an answer, and in her little world, I was her constant customer.

As fun as that was, it reminded me of how Ryker trusts me to be there for her no matter what. She knows if something scares her, she can run to me for safety.

That’s what Nahum 1:7 says about God: "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him."

Just like Ryker knows I’ll take care of her, we need to remember that God is our refuge. In good times and bad, He’s there, ready to care for us.

God is our refuge, and He cares for those who trust Him. Just like Ryker runs to me, we are called to run to God in every situation.

Next time you're feeling overwhelmed, remember who your refuge is.

Run to God, trust in His goodness, and let Him care for you. Let’s take comfort knowing that we have a Father who is always there.

Last Saturday was Axel’s first football game, and he was nervous.

He was so afraid of making mistakes and getting yelled at.

Well, guess what? When you try something new, you are going to mess up—and, yes, sometimes get yelled at.

But the more you learn, grow, and practice, the better you get. Just like with football, the same principle applies when people try to figure out metabolism and fat loss.

A common misconception I hear a lot: People think that muscle is a magic calorie-burning machine.

It is true that muscle plays a huge role in boosting your metabolism, but not in the way most people think.

For every 10 kilos of lean muscle you gain, you might burn an extra 100 calories per day at rest.

It sounds like a lot of work for a small reward, right?

But the real magic isn’t in those resting calories—it’s in how trained muscle uses energy.

Healthy muscle tissue is more efficient at utilizing calories, thanks to a process called protein turnover.

So, while muscle does increase your metabolism, it’s through energy use for repair and balance, not just burning extra calories.

The big takeaway?

Strength training isn’t just about looking better—it’s about being better.

Stronger, healthier muscle means better metabolic health, improved strength, and a higher quality of life.

It’s never too late to reverse muscle damage, build strength, and improve your metabolism.

Your muscle health is in your hands—at any age, with the right diet and exercise, you can move from weak to strong and change your life.
