Happy St. Patty’s everyone. What this title should be is you’re
not a slave. In the fitness world just like the rest of it, there are people
who program others into believing what they do is right and if anything else
comes along its bullshit. For the most part, 99.9% of the stuff you see in
magazines and infomercials don’t really help you because all they care about is
money and not your health.
I believe
if you want to get the best results, you aught to find programs that you find
interesting, fun and exciting to do. When you have the freedom to play around
and enjoy what you do, it’s no longer “Working Out” it’s more like play and
being open to new possibilities. Do your own research meaning not just looking
to what others have done or what dumb ass study has been done, I mean
experiment it yourself and learn the basics. There’s always going to be some
“expert” shmuck who will try to dive into your brain and program it to do
his/her bidding so they’re taking away your freedom to find what works best for
you.
Don’t let
some gym nut that’s never really done anything to get strong and healthy tell
you what you can and can’t do. Be creative and resourceful in what you want to
do. Me personally, I love to take different people’s philosophy on training and
mold it into something I believe is cool to do not what they believe is cool to
do. Be open to different things, learn about exercises you've never done before
or take the most basic movement and turn it into a hardcore but powerful one.
Do it for yourself and not for some moron behind a desk. Sure there are a lot
of sales ads on the net that share the latest course on how to get into great
but use your instincts, find ones that have you be free to do it wherever you
want, find courses that are exciting and that you can mix and match.
You are
very strong my friend and you don’t have to be a slave to some pencil pusher
who’s really a weekend warrior and doesn't do much of anything else. You are
free to make your own choices, create your own programs that mean something to
you, if someone doesn't like it, so what it’s your thing. Don’t be a robot, be
the best you can be and have fun with it.
