Sometimes I feel like I have a lot of lost time I need to make up for. Specifically time with my kids. I unfortunately did a couple stents in prison and it took precious time away that I could of been spending with my family. That's a story for another time. I bring that up because my favorite time of the day now is when I get to go lift with my son. He is 17 yrs old and he is my lifting partner. The time we get now lifting 10 fold makes up for that lost time. I don't know if you know this but you really get to know someone working out with them every day. I wouldn't give that time up for the world. That is yet another way the gym has improved my life.
