Ballen Fitness

This page is dedicated to promoting the power of positivity and changing lives through fitness. Too Understand where I'm coming from I must give you a little background about me. I majored in criminal justice with a 3.78 gpa. I put myself through school by working full time. It wasn't easy!!! Two months after I graduated I had my son Landon. In that time frame I was looking to get into my career a

nd become a cop. I wanted to do it since I was 5 years old. Ever since I got to do that ride along with a cop as a kid thats what I wanted to be and the desire to be Barney 5. August 18th I finally got to the finish line and was hired to be cop. I accomplished my dream I've been working for my whole life. August 19th 2011 everything changed. It was a moment of impact in my life that changed my life forever. I was in bad car accident that left me with a bad back and seizures. I didn't cope well with my injuries. I ended up not being able to be a cop. I also couldn't no longer work the job I was doing before. I ended up going on pain meds, seizure meds, and steroids. For the next year, I was in and out of the hospital, I was divorced and all I had was time. I've never been one to give in, but for a little while I stayed down when I got knocked down, but I got back up. I made a list of goals for myself to accomplish to motivate myself and to improve my life. First off, I wanted to be the best father I could be to my child. Secondly, I needed to find a new career, and third I needed to get back in shape, control the seizures, fix the pain, and be healthy. It was a rough road, but I got myself back in shape. There is a saying that has always stuck with me, " the wolf who is on top of the hill isn't hungry, but the wolf climbing the hill is always hungry. Stay hungry like the wolf never be content. Push for your goals and knock t he wall down that is holding you back. I don't know about you, but I'm going to stay hungry and I'm going to eat. I am currently working on a project of documenting my transformation. I am trying to reach a new fitness goal and I will also share how I reach my goals. I believe in create opportunity. If you want to create opportunity than do it. I'm hoping this page will reach others and be a force to inspire, give hope, and to say I can. Feel free to contact me I can share more of my story with you, or if you just need someone to listen.
