Do Not Sit At The Gym; Or, How Does It Work Anyway?

You have to gradually start a process of adaptation or rejuvenation, by starting in the beginning and moving slowly so that your body has tome to adapt.

For many gym is penance for each and every time you didn’t behave like a teenager, and for every piece of candy, or candy like thing you ever out in your face.

You can easily see, how every extra calorie added up to cause trouble, but it is not obvious to see that not being a jitterbug made you weak.

Think of aging as a deformity that arises from inactivity, and please understand that restoring yourself requires more than usual activity.

Sitting at the gym, is actually the opposite of what gym is for, it is a sacred hour or two that can slowly restore you, is you do it right.

And to do right, you must do more, than usual, but not so much more that you will be forced to stop.

Sitting is always less than what you can do, therefore always wrong, walking is wonderful and profoundly healing.

But you need open air, and an aim that includes proper hiking and camping, and it will be walking that will restore you enough to flex and turn with weights.

You know flexing and turning as aerobics, and bodybuilding and rejuvenation, is just one extra step longer and ever so slightly heavier as you body adapts.

——-

In practice this means slowly increasing the challenge to your body, slowly mixing in slightly heavier dumbbells and waiting for your body to adapt.

Your exercise must always be more, but not so much more, that you are forced to stop because you overwhelmed your body.

—--

What you see at the gym today does not work, because people lift too much too much means not lifting for long enough, and not being able to lift more.

The result is one adaptation, from being a couch potato, to exercising wrong, and then entering a plateau by being cut off from lifting more.

It is not just ego lifting, it is also fake education, bullies, sticking out, and shame, or being shamed, or laughed at.

Twisting and turning with dumbbells requires music, and hitting every beat, One beat down, next beat up, so that you enter a trance and finish your exercise.

There is a word for that: dancing.

The road before you is clear, your body restores and adapts a little bit at a time, So you have to challenge it a little bit at a time.

The only question that remains is shame, will you let bullies triumph? because the real shame, is coming to the gym, being at the gym, and getting scared.

Dressing in dark clothes so that you are invisible, or exposing your white legs in hopes of permanently blinding other members.

Don’t let fear take your health away, dress beautifully, dance courageously, be kind to your body, slowly challenging it to adapt.

Sitting, or lifting heavy, will keep you on a plateau on first level, you need to move, then walk, and dance, and lift, and smile and laugh, growl and roar.

This is your life, let no one stop you from living healthy.
