He was fast asleep in his Lithia, Florida home when he was awoken by a loud noise.

0:40.0

While sleeping and basically I heard a loud thump followed by a kind of a cry of pain and I immediately thought that it was my daughter who was upstairs.

He immediately jumped up, assuming one of his daughters had fallen off their bed.

As he exited his home and went out onto the front porch, he noticed someone laying on the ground between his house and his neighbor's house.

A drunk teenager perhaps? It had been the last day of the school year for the districts in the area. Maybe there was a party going on nearby.

He then attempted to help the woman who at the time was struggling to breathe.

The sheriff's and Ralph.

It's hard to stick with working out. I know that after I had my daughter, it was super difficult to continue to be motivated to get up early every morning and get a workout in.

3:28.0

But Peloton made it a lot easier. They have on-demand classes so you can sneak in a workout whenever you want. For however long you want it to be, and their instructors are incredibly motivating and make the workout fun.
