Spine Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Hi all, Nice to see such a vibrant vegan community. I'm 36, a lucky resident of the Pacific Northwest, and a hardcore nutrition fan for the last several years. I recently made the full switch to veganism because I realized it was the best option for me and for the planet. I get most of my exercise from hiking, rock climbing, and cardio at the gym. I do lift weights a bit and have always wondered how far I could take it. My body responds quickly to weight training. (I'm 5'9", 155 pounds.) Maybe this site will inspire me to take it further. If only ab work didn't burn so bad... See you all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spine Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Thanks all! I've already found some great tips here to try at my gym (West Coast Health & Fitness on Lombard, for any North Portlanders out there). Robert--nope, we haven't met yet, but I plan to attend the Holiday Fest so I'll look forward to seeing you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hey Spine, Nice to see you tonight! Spine came to a talk I gave called "Take Action and Make it Happen" in Portland. It was the one I was supposed to give on April 1st but it got bumped up and I barely made it back from Eugene in time to speak, but I did, and it was fun. Nice to have you there Spine!

Spine Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 And a great talk it was, Robert! The Master Vegetarian class has been great. Lots of good speakers and info. I would have loved to hear you give some training tips and show us some poses, but that wasn't really the time or place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
