Weight Training |
|||
![]() |
Weight training has numerous benefits, among which are building of metabolism-boosting, fat-burning muscle, and increases to strength, endurance and overall well-being. I workout at LA Fitness, usually at the Phoenix gym (Highland and 20th St) with my workout partners --Gary, Eagle and Don -- but I can sometimes be found at the Scottsdale location (Scottsdale Rd and McDowell) and occasionally at the Mesa location (Stapley and University) or Tucson East location (Wilmot and Broadway). I usually workout 3X week. | ![]() |

Walking/Running |

![]() |
I never enjoyed running on a treadmill or getting my cardio workout on any other machines in the gym. Too boring for me. But I also didn't enjoy going out jogging by myself. Then, whammo! I discovered Arizona Frontrunners - a great group of LGBT men and women who get together to walk, jog and run. In January 2010, I managed to complete a half marathon - probably the most significant athletic achievement in my life. If you're interested in meeting a bunch of really cool people and enjoy getting out for walks, jogs or runs, you've got to check out Arizona Frontrunners! |

I enjoy both listening to music and writing/performing. The music that I enjoy listening depends on what I'm doing and my mood, and includes alternative (rock), hard rock, pop, hip-hop/soul, country-and-western, folk, latin, jazz, and new age. The music I have written and enjoy performing is more limited, and includes pop, country-and-western, folk, instrumentals and musical theatre. |

Food |

I saved the best for last. Eating good food is one of my favorite things to do (another reason why hiking and weight training are so valuable to me). I enjoy most types of food (other than Cajun and Indian food, which have spices that disagree with me). | ![]() |
