Strength.
Durability.
and of course an amazing physique!
The human anatomy amazes (not at a doctoral level) but the building process of our muscle groups. I literally get excited whenever someone shows an interest at either enhancing, improving, or just conditioning their body! I'm a FIRM believer in that we ALL should be in optimum shape. Now, I don't have a throne to sit & judge folks about their physique (or lack of for that matter); I completely understand and also agree that they're aren't any status-quo bodies out here that we must strive to resemble. Different strokes-for different folks! Aside the fact that genes play a big role in how/what your body will become, not everyone wants to be big & muscular; just like not everyone wants to be toned & defined (believe it or not) but that shouldn't prohibit nor defame the significance of being healthy period. Don't believe the lies; there are NOOOOO magic working pills that have you dropping fat within X amount of time-nor is there anything (safe at least with no long lasting problems) that have you gaining an unrealistic amount of muscle within like a month! Don't overcomplicate what it REALLY takes to live a healthy lifestyle.
THREE SIMPLE BASICS::
1. Hit the weights2. Hit the kitchen (yeah I said it)
3. Hit the bed
The theme of your blog is very interesting, Emanuel. I DO like your "hit the kitchen" tip! We have been trying to eat "clean" and quit getting any "easy cook" meals. We at least have been doing crock-pot stuff to save time and eating veggies/fruits with each meal...Last night we got collards, artichokes, and asparagus to go with our main entrees. I look forward to your tips this semester.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, have you seen the "Bodies" exhibit? We saw it in Las Vegas last Christmas. If you are fascinated with the human body you would love this. Unfortunately there is no photography. We just have the staged backdrop picture of us with a body. They began with all Asian "models." Your background reminds me of it with all of the exposed muscles and sinews!
