How Did You Get Started?

I got started from just doing pushups in my room. Then when I was in wrestling I was able to work out in the weight room and stuff. I always wanted a weight bench and stuff and I got one for Christmas one year and I would work out every day down in the basement. Now I'm old enough that I just go to the gym almost every day.
