"IF FITNESS IS HEALTH, IS IT EVER TO YOUNG TO START?"
Inspiration, a word that is a positive in
most people’s vocabulary and mind can
have so many implications.
“I am inspired by what they did”, “what
they did not do inspires me”, that sunset
inspires me”. Some actions can trigger
emotions, some scenes can as well.
You can be motivated to action, anger,
rebellion, caring or in the most oblique
sense inactivity. Any way you look at the
“inspiration” something in you reacts.
For our purpose we choose to look at
positive inspiration. Stories that will
engage you, motivate you to action on your
journey to a healthier you.
Our subject today is age and aging. How
many times have you heard I can’t do that,

once or twice myself. I’ve heard people say
that you are too young to do that to your
body or you will pay for that when you get
older. Such is not the case for our next
subjects.

for weight training, I was often

same food and people would bug
me to eat their food.
My first show was Flex Lewis
Canadian Classic on Oct 5, 2019.
I'm thinking of doing the next Flex
Classic on Nov 7, 2020.
I'm playing Rugby for the first time
this year. I enjoy spending time
with friends, exploring, playing
video games, and extramural
activities at school.
My advice for anyone my age
would be to take your time, learn
your body and proper form. Finally,
for bodybuilding , it's not always
all about throwing around big
numbers.
Jaycob was fortunate enough to
compete on stage with his father
Ryan. What made the contest
more special was that his mother
Joanne and his sister Jules also
competed. The photo on the right
