Hi everyone, my name is Len Thomas Cabela. I am 52 years young this year. I grew up in Southeastern lower Michigan, where my family of origin put priority on keeping fit and physically playing sports. We were taught to value getting and staying healthy. My mother was a health food and nutrition fanatic while my father went out to earn a living and provide for us. He loved watching sports. As I got older and my parents passed away of old age, I still remember the home-cooked meals and wisdom they instilled upon us. After I turned 30, I got a CDL like my older brother and began working in the truck driving field 22 years gaining more skills and endorsements, but longed for something more fulfilling, so I went back to college and got an Associate and then a Bachelor degree in Psychology, I then went toward a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling but couldn't secure a practicum and internship site after all my course work was done. Due to my Christian heritage and upbringing in the faith, I figured the Lord would steer me in the right direction. In 2019, an ad for the ISSA certification courses piqued my interest. I realized toward middle age it is all the more important to fight the deteriorating effects of aging, as I felt better by exercising and eating right. I found it was much more challenging than the college curricula, because instead of the tightly directed schedule during semesters or quarters, It was largely self-directed apart from the availability of assistance to reach out to in California. I was relying more on self-discipline and my own motivation to will the successful outcome, directing my life. Like college though, I found that I could successfully do it once again and get passing grades, so I became a Certified Personal Trainer later that year, also with that tuition deal I got a Nutritionist specialization. For the next continuing education course I obtained an Exercise Therapy certification, and qualified to become an Elite Trainer for my total length of training in the field. I felt successful as I got recently married again to a great wife, moved into the area, and became a dad for the first time!
My goals for the future is gaining more experience and insight to how the miraculous body, viewed as a temple, properly works and heals itself, grows and maintains function, adding muscle and reducing fat, especially around the midsection and trouble spots for people, they will find extremely helpful and useful. I hope to meet you and tackle your specific problem areas and help you to reach your goals too!
