Fight the Good Fight! Changing the world, 1 rep at a time...
Hey, all...
Consider this:
For those of us who train our asses off, chasing a goal, or a dream to be the best we can be - for ourselves - testing our limits daily, charging ahead, accepting and welcoming pain, committing to following a pre-conceived plan - we know the joy that comes from the completion of a gut-busting training session - from the purifying hunger pangs of a low carb diet...
It enriches the soul to test our limits, to push beyond previous achievements, into the unknown. I take my sweat-stained ballcap off to each of you.
Think about this the next time you leave the gym after a hard workout - or even just a tough cardio session. Euphoria, floating?...or worst case, a quiet smile of accomplishment subtly painted across your lips...
think about this.
Do you think that you'd have the mood, or the desire on your drive home to road rage on anyone? Or, maybe, stopping at the Supermarket on the way home, do you think you'd fight to get into the checkout line ahead of that poor mother with two shopping carts overflowing with food...nah, chances are, after a killer, gut-busting workout, you're floating around somewhere in a 7th heaven, and the little things in your life seem just a little bit less irritating...
Truth is, exercise is good for the body. Increased strength, improved circulation and cardiovascular function, greater bone density, beneficial changes in body composition...you name it, exercise can do it for your body...
But, there's more - improved tissue oxygenation (esp. to the brain) means clearer thinking, greater power to focus, improved mental accuracy...and, wait - increased sense of well-being due to all of the above - plus the endorphin release post-stressful event - that "runner's high" we hear about so much...better sex, better mood, better self-esteem...you can't get better than that!
So, bottom line is this with the obesity rate in our modern society running around 2 out of every 3rd person (Can you believe that???!!!) let's spread the good news like a modern day religion!
People - Fit People and fitness enthusiasts!! Become an advocate for your own health - take responsibility - then tell others about it! Tell others how you feel, what good you get out of your workouts!! Make the change by living it!
Somebody very smart - and very old by now - once said,
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world" - Mahatma Gandhi

Most of us have done something we shouldn't have or vise versa--didn't do something we should have; and those who haven't as yet--for certain will.
Those of us--who at every turn give and do all we can are the champions of this world; for they are the few that the all the others follow.
