Great podcast

I’m a 69 year old woman about to turn 70. I started in Tae Kwan Do karate at age 16 with my later to become husband. We had been inspired by Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragon. I had to stop that training at 22 before I got my black belt. I started at UCLA and there was no time. I had to suffice that walking on that huge campus was going to be my exercise for a while. At 23 my now husband and I went to see Pumping Iron. That movie really inspired me. Even though I had been the only female at that Tae Kwan Do Gym, I was with a lot of people from my youth group which made me comfortable. Our 6th Degree Black belt Korean Instructor wasn’t easy on me because I was a woman. I’m really grateful for that. 😀 one day he said to me in his broken English “woman has man power”. Later we went to see Pumping Iron: The women. That movie gave me the courage to join a gym even though at that time women weren’t really going yet. I had done other workouts at home, like Jane Fonda but I had never lifted weights. I’ve always tried to keep up with some exercise. Unfortunately my marriage ended in divorce. We had a pool so that had become my exercise but eventually keeping up the house was too expensive and moving wiped everything out. I had started on an online boot camp and I always walked my dog45 min a day. I was staying in shape. But the move interrupted that and my Boerboel mastiff dog is older and started having problems so the walking was really slowed down. I felt like I was now slowing down. Now, a client of mine sent me a link to the Pump Club. It’s like I have come around full circle I’m starting up again slowly, losing weight and once again inspired. If Arnold is doing this in his seventies than so can I. I live in the San Jacinto CA mountains 🏔 now. I’m so glad I have this Pump Club. I so appreciate the short and to the point information from such a familiar voice. Thanks so much Arnold for doing this podcast. I probably have a lot of years to go. My Aunt Just died at 98! And I have several centenarians in my family. Keeping healthy is becoming a priority again. I saw your book is on Audible so I have it my wait list. I also got”you Can’t Screw This Up. Which is a really great book. I’m slowly working my way out of diet hell😄
