THE LANGUAGE OF FITNESS.
Friday, July 29, 2011 at 10:48AM I get it.
You’re just starting into fitness.
And with hundreds if not thousands of variations of exercises all stemming from different types of machines, pulley stations, free weights, bodyweight exercise, exercise and stability balls, etc., the proper form for all of those, the proper timing to breathe when performing each of those, etc., etc., etc., it’s quite a daunting task.
You start into learning Spanish, French, Russian, or whatever. You learn nouns and verbs. And then you learn future tense, past tense, imperfect, reflexive, etc. etc. etc.
So it goes when applying the language-learning template to learning the language of Fitness.
But with the internet, bookstores, magazines, iPads, e-Books, etc., you can learn enough to get started properly. Even if you only start into fitness using machines to learn breathing and muscle groups and some technique, DO THAT! And then graduate to something else as soon as you can. It's where I began but I didn't stay there forever. You don't stat in first grade forever do you?
Read up. Educate yourself. Watch YouTube videos of a fitness personality you like. Put safe principles and form into practice and see what works best for you.
And soon you'll be teaching someone else how to change his or her life, perhaps forever.
And THAT my friends, is how you achieve immortality -- by investing in others.
I daresay there's nothing more important in this life.
Have a strong day, fitness students.
