It’s all about the Why. Why do I go to the studio? Why do I endure the pain, the struggle through not one, not two, but

of three?  Sets that cause my muscles to ache and my mind to doubt—

? At 30, or 40, this would have been a cinch, but at 50-something, not only does the body resist, but moreso, the mind. Why do I do it? Because when I’m 60-something, or 70-something, or 80+something, with the grace of God, I want to be able to stand tall and straight, to kneel and garden, to swim, to be strong and able.
