AGE IS JUST A NUMBER

With this post I wanted to talk about Herschel Walker but give props to the other MMA athletes that defy the law of age(Randy Couture and Mark Coleman). I was looking at an interview that Herschel did with Yahoo.com and I was impressed that he's such great physical shape. For a individual that is almost 50 years old, he's a freak of nature. He looks like he's 30 years old. I was listening to his interview with Howard Stern and he's a unique person. He definitely thinks outside the box and does things that are not conventional. He sleeps a couple hours at night, he does 1500 push-ups and 2500 sit-ups a day, he's a devout Christian, and he doesn't sleep around with thousands of women. I would call him a great role model but in today's society its hard to call athletes role models because of their indiscretions. He did say that like everyone in world he has made some mistakes but overall he's been a model citizen. I have to give up to Herschel for his drive for competition and trying to push himself in different aspect of life. He is definitely taking his training serious for his upcoming fight on Strikeforce on January 30, 2010. He's training at the American Kickboxing Academy(one of the top schools to train MMA) with the likes of Cain Velasquez and Josh Koschek just to name a few. I hope that he has a great showing and wish him the best of luck with this upcoming bout.
Here's his interview with Yahoo Sports

We need to get up and MOVE PEOPLE. Age is no excuse to sit back and not be active. To DIE is to not MOVE....
