Hi all, been here for a month or so but never even noticed the Check-In forum. Oops. :embarrassed:
The name's Will (or Bill, Willie, Billy... answer to 'em all!), I just retired from the NYPD in October after 20 years. I'm taking about a year or so off before I work again so I can jump-in with both feet with my two passions, fitness and golf.
It's more like, "weight-lifting" and golf because I like to train heavy and tend to be inconsistent with cardio. Golf and bulking-up don't go together very well. At least with my warped way of doing things. :wink: At 43, I sometimes laugh at myself for trying to keep up with the guys 20 years younger but what can I say? One last go of it... I finally have the time now so no excuses.
I've already reached many of my fitness goals, adding about 20-25 lbs (mostly "muscle memory") while cutting my fat-index in half.
Now onto golf. I better get to more stretching because I'm all out of sorts. So much for mutually exclusive hobbies!
I've been playing golf for 20 years but seriously for about 12. I'd once had my HC down to 3.5 at its lowest but that was with a swing which hardly resembles the one that I possess now. I joke about the mutually exclusive hobbies but the year when I played my best was also when I was in the best shape of my adult life. So I'm really going hard at both in the attempt to recapture the magic. But, lol... both are fairly significant uphill battles!
This is a great place, I've already enjoyed it tremendously. As you can probably tell, I'm long-winded, so you'll see a fair share of me around here. :laugh:
