I'm freakishly competitive, so I set a date to achieve a certain weight or fitness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am concentrating on my fitness levels so that I don't look old.
I have a tremendous passion for fitness, I love challenges and I am a very driven guy.
On my days off, I like to be outdoors - on my bike or walking the dog or swimming - so it's important anyone I date is also into fitness.
I run year-round and then ramp up my training for a race a few months before.
I don't know how long my body will allow me to compete, but I can't imagine doing anything else. That day will come, and I just hope there'll be a light shining down a path telling me where to go.
Keep a strict, predictable schedule 365 days a year that has you eating, sleeping, and exercising at about the same times day in and day out.
When I was modeling, I worked out every day or other day.
After I stop competing, I'd like to do something that inspires people to get active and fit.
I was in a weight-cutting sport, in judo, so I had to be a certain weight on a deadline. It kind of pushed me into having a really unhealthy relationship with food in my teens. I felt like if I wasn't exactly on weight, I wasn't good-looking.
I want to race as long as I'm having fun, it's competitive and healthy, and who knows when that, you know, date comes when that's not happening anymore.
