Imagine that you aresupposed to solve a really important math problem for your final exam in yourfinal class in your final year of your epic educational journey. You have all the numbers you need, exceptone. You aren’t given an answer andasked to solve for the missing number, so Algebraic methods are gone….You don’thave a list of options to choose from. It’s virtually as if you’re being asked to solve 1 + ? = ?. Not cool.
It’svital to taking the next step in to the rest of your life, but you can’t answerwithout throwing a completely wild guess. Unfortunately, though you have a billionth of a chance to answercorrectly, this would most likely end in utter catastrophe. You end up failing the test. And when you fail the test, you failschool. And when you fail school, youget depressed and drown your sorrows in bacon. And when you drown your sorrows in bacon, you end up looking like Jabbathe Hut. Don’t end up looking like Jabbathe Hut:
Nowto my point: Exercise is only PART ofthe equation. At CHFitness, the best wayto describe how to live life well is to “Eat.Train.Play”. Three parts of the equation, all necessary toattain the best result, in that order.
“Eat”refers to your ability to ingest proper nutrition, giving your body what itneeds to thrive and perform, while cutting the excess. Though there are plenty of successful dietingplans on the market, but I’m most concerned about the “self-discipline”plan. Discipline your eating habits, orelse your training will be nothing more than a retaining wall, which willeventually burst and allow the whole process to come to ruin.
“Train”is exactly what it sounds like. Trainyour body to respond the way you want it to. Exercise until your body behaves (you may have noticed that on theFacebook page). After you aredisciplined to fuel your body properly, then you can train it intosubmission. Make your body ready andable for any and every experience you may have.
“Play”. What’s the point of all the hard work if youdon’t take time to enjoy the results. Before I lost all my extra weight, I could play basketball for about25-30 minutes before I had to sit and rest. Now I can play about 3 or 4 hours. Enjoying the results of a disciplined diet and body that behaves is whatmakes it all worth it in the end. Enjoya walk in the park, play some ball, run around with the kids…..after all, you’veearned it.
Sorry for such a long post, but I figured it wasnecessary. Don’t fail your finalexam. Get all the parts of the equationin order, and get after it. As always,if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or need some personal training inyour life, hit me up.
Stay Strong,
Chad
