The scenery is beautiful, there are lots of hills and twisting turns, and very little traffic once you get outside the city. During our trip we met bikers from all over North America who came here for the great riding.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\nThis was an awesome way to spend some quality <em>&#8220;father &#038; son&#8221;<\/em> time together. I&#8217;m very fortunate to have a good friendship with my dad. He was the one who helped me get my start working out back in 1990. In fact if it wasn&#8217;t for his help and encouragement none of this <strong>&#8220;Total Fitness Bodybuilding&#8221;<\/strong> thing would even exist. <\/p>\n<p>For my first 8 years of bodybuilding my dad and I would workout together in our little home gym as training partners. I even did my first 3 bodybuilding competitions training in our little home gym. After that I moved out on my own and started working out in a public gym.<\/p>\n<p>My dad was a big inspiration for me to workout when I was younger, and he continues to be a big inspiration. At 60 years old he still hits the gym 4 days a week and can hold his own with most guys less then half his age.\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img15.imageshack.us\/img15\/2877\/dadandig.jpg\" alt=\"Lee Hayward &#038; His Dad\" \/>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Even though he&#8217;s never competed in a bodybuilding or powerlifting competition, he represents what the real <em>&#8220;Total Fitness Bodybuilding&#8221;<\/em> lifestyle is all about. Which is living life to the fullest by keeping healthy and active through consistent workouts and proper nutrition.
