summertime

summertime is the time to cut weight.  you work against yourself if you try and increase mass and size in the these months.  you are already more active and you sweat more, so you should use that to your advantage.  try something new, something you normally wouldn't do and you would be surprised at how much you might like it.  Try biking, swimming, and or running; or a combination of all of them.  Triathletes are, hands down, some of the best athletes in the world, not only because of their physical abilities but because mentally they are incredible.  i have experienced an ironman race first hand and have never witnessed a more triumphant spectacle as i did watching those competitors cross the finish line after 8-12 hours of exertion.  finishing a race of any kind is a pretty cool sensation and everyone should do it at least once in their life.  if you are not into racing, compete in something; you will be amazed at what you can do if you are actually working out for something rather than just yourself.  challenge yourself and you wont regret it.  keep the battle alive!
