Ten Things I Said, Thought or Did in 2013
Tom Wigginton • December 30, 2013
- Is that heavy enough?
- The end of the ride isn’t the time to realize that you could have ridden harder.
- Train for something. It gives you a purpose.
- Somebody’s always got it worse than you. No matter how bad your day is, your week is or your year is, it could be worse. Let your attitude and actions be an example to others who don’t have it as good as you.
- Pow!
- Do you need any external motivation?
- This will make you better looking and more interesting at parties.
- TRX training will make you an exponentially better bike rider. I took 4 hours off my best Triple Bypass time by spending more time TRXing and less time cycling. And there was no less fun-factor.
- Be awesome.
- Hug your children.
- Take-offs are easy . . . it’s the landings that matter. Ask any airline pilot, they’ll tell you the same thing.

Vitruvian Fitness has partnered with DexaFit Denver to bring you three powerful tools for assessing and improving your health: the DEXA Scan , VO₂ Max Test , and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test . These aren’t gimmicks – they’re scientifically backed ways to track meaningful progress in your training. If you're in your 40s, 50s, or 60s, you're at a turning point where training isn’t just about looking better – it’s about aging better . As the saying goes, “What gets measured gets managed.” And just because that’s a relic from my corporate past doesn’t make it any less true. Like your annual bloodwork, these tests give you a snapshot of important health markers that offer direction, motivation, and a baseline to measure progress against. Here’s what each test measures: DEXA Scan – bone density, lean body mass, and visceral fat VO₂ Max Test – cardiovascular fitness and aerobic efficiency Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) – how many calories you burn at rest (your metabolic baseline)
