Please Don't Sit At The Gym

A weird thing happened to the world of fitness, a set-and-rep blight fell upon us, and is making us weak.

A workout, is about repeating what you can currently do, so many times that you can do more of it.

But people, added heavy weights, and whatever they do is now nowhere nearly enough.

They lift for 20 seconds, when they should lift for an hour, and it is tearing them apart, with age, and weakness, and sadness.

They don't seem to be pretending to work out, they just collectively lulled themselves into a fitness fantasy.

The gym is a holy place where you have a real workout, from start to end, with an interval timer or stopwatch in hand.

At first it is 3 minutes non stop, soon after 10, 15, and 30 minutes, and when you get to one hour, you stop adding time, and add weights.

Unless you know martial arts, in a way that does not make yo look silly at the gym.

You have two choices as far as non-stop is concerned, you can jog with dumbbells or you can dance.

You can do other things to, but there is a problem, you adapt much more slowly.

This, makes sense for beautiful people, who don't want to look like mutants.

But, the rest of us, we have to move, and while weight ourselves down with dumbbells.

All the fat must go, all the stiffness must go, really, you can jog at first, but it is the dancing that does it.

This is quite a problem for the people who lulled themselves, into that lift heavy fantasy.

Look mean, technical, tactical, cool, will defeat them with old age - it is very sad.

Lift heavy for a few seconds does nothing, you have to dance light for an hour, or age.

Young people react to that technical tactical cool, and they repeat the process.

Again, into self defeat, and eventually old age.

Think of aging as getting deformed, from not using our bodies.

And of dancing as a cheat code, invented long ago by warring tribes.

To keep old men young, until they are cut down in battle.

The longer we wait to dance, the harder making out way back to a fit state will become.

Those who say that it is impossible to return to shape, think of shape as something gymnast do.

Gymnastics is temporally for babies, adults become muscle, a dreadnought-gorilla-ape-warrior muscle.

That fit muscle is our protection, it is our grace and armor.

If we just willingly participate in this deformation process, we are betraying none other than our older selves.

No more sitting, no more sets and reps, heavy only corners you from lifting heavier and longer.

One hour non-stop minimum, no more technical lifting, lift for your life, have some foresight.
