Gold’s Gym Was Packed Yesterday

My son and I went to Gold’s Gym yesterday.  It was packed.  That’s great to see.  Yet even though Gold’s Gym was crowded, the people exercising represent such a small portion of the population.

When I drive to and from work, or on errands, there are occasional joggers along the way. Again, a small portion.

Maybe the ones who exercise regularly are missing the boat.  Perhaps they are the crazy ones.  Wasting their time on the frivolous pursuit of a sound body.  Not a perfect body.  A sound body.

Wasting their time and energy by rearranging their schedules to make exercise fit.  Passing on “delicious” foods, or skipping second helpings, in an effort to practice healthy moderation.

What’s wrong with that small portion of the population?  What a bunch of self-indulgent individuals.  They remind me of the people on the airplane who put the oxygen mask on first, before offering to help the person next to them.

Lane 8 You Tube Video

Lane 8 You Tube video.  A quick video demonstrating progress on strengthening my core.

Ya know, until I got tired of pulling hamstrings, and the physical therapist at Florida Hospital – Celebration Health told me, “You have to strengthen your core or you’ll continue to get hurt”, I had no idea what my core was.

All those years, never worked on my core, other than a few sit ups here and there.

This is much tougher than I’m making it look. I remember when I first started doing this particular exercise, I could bearly hold my legs up for one second.

Tiger Woods’ advice to me, “Out work ’em”, is just like yesterday’s post – common sense, but not common practice.

If my goal is to help others be inspired, I better be able to inspire myself, eh?

Remember my hope yesterday, to list the Lane 8 credentials.  Me too.

That Lane 8 post is written and will post tomorrow.  May I challenge you to Dream Big, Get There, Stay There?  Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
