Patriotism
Did you know that Thomas Jefferson was a HUGE proponent of exercise? As a mater of fact above the reception desk at the Aquatics and Fitness Center at the University of Virginia it is written that one should exercise "2 hours a day." Wow, now that is aggressive working out. So when you are doing cycling, doing cardio or pumping iron you are being a true patriot of the country. Why is that? Well, don’t we all feel better when we workout out and afterwards? Don’t we function better when we are healthy? You betcha! Being active in a democracy includes being the best citizen you can be whether it is being a member of the NRA, voting for your favorite candidate, standing up for an issue or ,as it appears, pumping iron or doing cardio. Let freedom ring as you push up that last rep today. Push back against tyranny and ignorance whether it is muscle weakness or inappropriate laws. We know what silence in the body’s activities does. Is it any different when we don’t exercise our Freedoms?!
Arm day was a blast yesterday and sore as heck today but…it was worth it. The $* lifting straps I brought were well worth it when doing 330 lbs shrugs. Whoo hooo… Focus on good eating today, helping others and just being a good person…
