'Working out was everything to me. It was who I am, or who I was, and that was my identity.'
To recap: Harper suffered a "widowmaker" heart attack at a gym in NYC back in February 2017. Luckily, thanks to doctors who just happened to be on-site, he received CPR and an AED was used to shock his heart to get it to beat again. At the hospital, he was put into a medically induced coma and spent the next week under watchful eyes as he began to heal.that
Harper admits he shied away from support from friends and family who wanted to give it. He recalls a conversation with a friend where he tells him 'I feel like I’m not superman anymore'. "I felt like I was superman for a long time," says Harper. "That was one of the hardest times in my life," he says.
"Fitness has always defined me. I've felt like, 'I've got to do this and I've got to be the best,' and now I'm just like, 'You know what? I'm just doing the best I can and that's good enough," he explains. Use his lesson as motivation to reset your own goals because it's a losing battle to try to do it all or be great at everything, says Harper. "It's impossible and it starts to make you feel like shit," he says candidly. It's something he says he's had to remind himself of regularly as he builds up the strength he lost during recovery.
