Hello, BHG forum. My name is Arkaine. I am a 23-year-old former US Marine. I'm also slightly unhinged up top, as one could probably tell by the post title.
Anyway, I am here because I enjoy being in shape. Before I joined the Marine Corps, I lived a very sedentary life, focused mainly on reading, eating, and playing video games. Also internet. As you can imagine, I wasn't the healthiest of people, although my actual weight only ever got up to around 180-190 pounds.
Anyway, long story short, I made the decision to join the Marine Corps and by the time I got out of basic I had dropped down to a lean, mean 160. I never felt better in my entire life. To quote a famous cyan pegasus, "And I liked it!"
By the time I left active service, my experiences had soured me to the act, if not the concept, of strenuous physical exercise. I'm not gonna pull punches here. I hate working out. It sucks. After you're finished, you're sore for days and ugh, it just blows chode. Still, I understand how important exercise is to a healthy lifestyle, and I refuse to let myself return to the out-of-shape tubby bastard I was for fear of a little pain.
I hope I can use this site and the people in it to keep myself motivated and in shape. I also hope I can be of assistance to anyone currently trying to get into shape, be it for the first time or otherwise. I don't know what, exactly, I can contribute, but I'll damn sure contribute something. That is all.
Twilight and Rarity are best pony.
Luna is best princess.
Unicorn master race FTW.
