blogging fitness (what the crap does this have to do with food?!)

This was a post I wrote about a year ago when I told myself that I was going to start blogging once again. I found it to be pretty relevant, so I'm going to simply re-post this puppy as my starting point.

I'd like to bring my post average up from once every 6 months, so I figured I'm gonna set my sights low in regards to what I expect of myself. This time of year, gyms across the nation experience a spike in business because the American public goes through a 2-week phase of realizing that they actually need to be active to be healthy. It's both sad and entertaining to see Joe Schmo strut into the gym and act like he knows what he's doing within the realm of exercise. Joe approaches his personal fitness as if it's a sprint, oblivious to the fact that personal health never ending pursuit, a lifelong marathon. His sprint mentality leads to lifting too much weight with bad form, often resulting in injury and/or discouragement. This holiday season I am resolving to slowly amass a steady record of blogging, beginning with short, poignant posts. We'll see if i can eventually build my blogging muscles to impress the literary gym, but for now i am going to swallow my pride and start with the 5lb dumbells.
