I didn't start working out until college. But in college I could feel my body changing, and I knew that if I didn't make some changes, I was going to go in the wrong direction.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I started working out, doing a formal workout right around 1980. That's when I really decided I needed to get in shape and it may have been because you just start to see a decrease - a change in your body.
I used to hate working out - until I learned how to do it properly.
The men I idolized built their bodies and became somebody - like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger - and I thought, 'That can be me.' So I started working out. The funny thing is I didn't realize back then that I was having a defining moment.
I was a dancer, so for me, if I don't work out for a week or move my body in some sense, I feel weird.
Working out has always been a way of life for me.
I wanted to be consistent with my exercise, so I committed to working out for 30 days in a row, no matter what.
After the second and final time that I got hugely fat in my life and when I lost that weight six or seven years ago, I pretty much decided that I was going to stay in decent shape for the rest of my life.
I was just used to being in shape, and getting out of it was really difficult for me.
I've been a fanatic about working out all my life.
I was an athlete growing up. I did a lot of sports: soccer, basketball, so I was always so used to hardcore training, a lot of running. I got to a point where I felt like I just wanted to get toned; I didn't need to shed pounds, so now I do Pilates.
