After returning to America, I went to California to stay with my daughter.
Every morning, my grandmother would make me breakfast, and I would get up to pray, then go exercise.
That summer, I worked very hard, hiring a coach named Charles to help me train.
Every morning Charles would pick me up, and we would run together on the beach.
I don't like running on the beach; it's tough for me, but it's worth it to build endurance.
I would have a light lunch, and in the afternoon, I would do strength training.
In the evening, Charles and I would go to a local high school to play basketball, honing my technical skills.
Charles also took me to Gold's Gym, telling me it's the Mecca of strength trainers.
When I walked into Gold's Gym, I completely understood what he meant; the people here are like beasts, huge beasts, even the women.
Everyone is muscular, and at 7 feet tall, I even looked thin, some women seemed more robust than I was.
