Fitness is Fad
SLOWLY but surely, the idea that exercise is preventative medicine is just beginning to seep into the collective conscience of the American public.

Kelley
Kelley became a regular last year and has continued to progress. We know she loves her adopted family because she secretly turned 50 so the pack wouldn't have to do the traditional 50 push ups in a row.

easy, medium, HARD
We work out every day. Daily exercise tempers our bodies to withstand and sustain an average daily output that is 30% higher than rest days. This increase in output quickens our metabolism and sharpens our physical and mental capabilities.
In order to maintain a daily discipline, there must be easy days. The easy days serve as recovery days.
In order to achieve a progression is fitness, there must be hard days. We have to push it to get better.
Also, going faster makes us thinner. Ever seen a fat cheetah? Ever seen a thin Elephant? "IF YOU GET THE FURNACE HOT ENOUGH, IT WILL BURN ANYTHING." Fast running pays for many sinful things.

FEAR
So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.
Fear is an emotion induced by a perceived threat which causes entities to quickly pull far away from it and usually hide. It is a basic survival mechanism occurring in response to a specific stimulus, such as pain or the threat of danger.
Fitness programs primary objective is to create a stressful stimulus that the participant is willing to accept. The reality is, most participants are capable of significantly more than they believe. They are conditioned to think that there are limits to their abilities. They construct elaborate barriers and walls around themselves to "protect" themselves from perceived risk.
We haven't seen anyone puke in a workout in 2 years. We have never seen anyone run to exhaustion and pass out.
When the pain comes, don't be afraid. Relax and observe with curiosity. Keep moving.
