When were you in the best shape of your life and why?


Mine: Highschool football. Two practices a day in the summer heat with pads on.

    Now. Most definitely.

    I think my idea of a workout before was a quick walk around the park. When I first started going to the gym, even jumping jacks would get me out of breath. Now I've come to look forward to the burn!

    I hated freaking two-a-day's. It was always horrible but yeah definitely was in the best shape during high school football.

    If I'm basing it on relativity, it would be now because I would compare my fitness and health now to people of the same age. But if I were to base it solely on my OWN physical shape, it would be when I was 27 and competing.

    Now, I'm fitting into clothes I couldn't wear (size wise) when at school, so 14years in some cases.

    Early 20's. I was walking a lot (just generally - to get places), and doing circuit training.


    But I'm going to be in better shape than that, soon. :wink:

    Back in August. Thinnest I've ever been- looked great in my bikini, etc. However, I may have been in the best shape but I was overdoing the exercise. I lost my period. I've had to gain weight back to get my period back and back off the exercise a bit.

    Late high school/early university. I did a lot of dancing and swimming. But ate a lot (and a lot of crap). Was skinny, but probably not very healthy overall in terms of nutrition.

    Summer 2005 I was probably healthier, but definitely not as thin. I was working at a job where they had an on-site gym and I worked out every day. I was tracking my calories and eating the healthiest I'd ever eaten in my life.

    Now. Sure I was thinner in high school but I couldn't run a mile without dying and didn't take care of myself.

    I was in the best shape of my life when I was 18-19. I had a job as a fork lift operator/dock hand. When I first started, I didn't have my fork lift liscense, so I had to use hand dollies, pallet jacks, and just carrying items. I'd move 5klb pallets 500' down the dock regularly, move stack super singles (big tractor trailer tires) 7 high by hand (240lbs each), and I'd get .5-1hr of cardio due to sorting and literally running orders to trailers every work night.

    One thing, though, I can run further at one time now than what I have ever been able to.

    mid-20's. I actually thought I was gross because I only had a 4 pack and not a 6 pack. I used to want to be a fitness competitor. I idolized Monica Brant. If I knew how to post pics, I would include one. I long for those days and will get them back. I will appreciate it this time!

    Haha, I am only 21, but in the past I have never been one to exercise everyday, eat healthy and continuously be getting more fit. So, now :)
