Let me start off by saying my name is Sid Davis, I am 62 years old. In 1997, I had a heart attack and 2 months later I had a second but light heart attack. At that time, I weighed 262 lbs. My doctor told me I needed to get into a gym or exercise program, so I then joined a gym.
In my first year, I lost about 30 lbs. (mostly water weight doing cardio). Then one day, I saw Mr. Harris Kern at the gym. I noticed how dedicated he was at the gym with his workouts. At this time I was only going 5 days a week, when I realized how dedicated he was I said “I can do that and be good at it.” So I then started going 6 days a week working out 2 hours per day (cardio & training with weights). By the second year, I had lost an additional 20 lbs. When I started following Mr. Kern’s lead, I started losing more weight and gaining muscle tone. Then I approached Mr. Kern, we started talking about discipline, I told him “I will get back into shape by your disciplinary actions, which we have talked about.” This was in 1998 when we first spoke. Now I have known Mr. Kern for 4 years, since I have lost 100 lbs.
Mr. Kern and I workout together often and also have become good friends. I have used discipline even in my diet. This has been harder for me because I enjoy the “bad foods,” but I have disciplined myself to overcome this obstacle. Now, my doctor can not believe how I have recovered from my heart attack. He took me off my blood pressure pills a year ago and has said my blood pressure is like that of a 19 year old man. Also my cholesterol medication has been dropped by 2/3rds from what it was. I have to thank Mr. Kern for leading me into his discipline program and for being my best friend.
