About makthefreeathlete

In January 2014 I was overweight (177cm/116kg) and unhappy with my lifestyle. I decided to do something about it. Get fit, loose weight and improve the quality of my life. I hope this blog helps to and inspires other to make to make that life changing decision. It's not easy, but it's more than doable and the rewards are priceless. If there is one piece of advice I would offer is that; "It's never too late to make a change, anything is possible if you want it bad enough. Dream, believe, work like a maniac, achieve." - #noexcuses
