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.
