Hey Steve,

Jared

Name: Spencer Star

Age: 69

Motto:  Keep moving everyday

Spencer can be found at the IC on most days partnering with folks 1/3 his age.  While society tells us we should be taking lite walks and minimizing exercise risks as we mature, Spencer is having more fun getting fitter by training smarter.  He currently does 3-4 bootcamps in addition to 2-3 days of rest/recovery/mobility exercises per week.  He also schedules regular body work to maintain healthy circulation and manage soft tissue damage from resistance training.  This all makes sense considering his Ph.D in Economics from Cal.

“Steven,
I wanted to be part of the website and show how you guys have helped change my life from a couch potato to a active dad. Hope you can use some of these pictures.

I weighed around 275-280 in February 2008 that’s when the pictures from the giants game were taken and Giselle was 5 months old and her first baseball game pre season versus the A’s. After the game kids were allowed to run the bases and I had her in my arms and tried to carry her around the bases and thought I was going to pass out from exhaustion just going around the bases with her in my arms. That Monday I started my journey to better health and on March 29th 2011 I finally reached my goal weight of 170 pounds and then I have worked my way back up to 189-195 on an average right now. 170 was way too skinny for me and I felt very weak. My high school weight was 175 so I was determined to beat it by 5 pounds.”
