E.M.B.R. — YouTube Channel Statistics

E.M.B.R Endurance, Mindfulness, Balance, Resilience E.M.B.R. is a play on the letters in my name (E.M.Brown) and also a reference to the embers of a fire. After spending much of my youth and university years as an athlete, professional work life and fatherhood left me quite out of shape in my mid-40s. I got to over 230 lbs (104kg) before I hit bottom and finally got motivated to restoke the fire from the smallest of embers still left of my fitness. I began strength training and then also marathon training and then finally cycling. My weight is now usually somewhere between 160-165 lbs (72 to 75 kg) and, even though I'm over 50 now, I'm both stronger and have better cardiovascular fitness than when I was in my 30s. Like a phoenix, that former athlete in me has arisen from the ashes. Zwift has been a big part of keeping me risen from those ashes and this channel is a way of embracing the community and platform that has greatly improved my quality of life.
