This past week I read a number of articles/blogs from folks in the fitness industry and I was offended. Perhaps, offended is not the correct word...upset, confused, disillusioned. Here is why: the articles took stands on the best 'workouts'. They threw mud and took to slandering the other forms of fitness. The weight lifters spoke ill of the P90x crew...The yogis turned their noses up at the long distance runners, and the personal trainers slammed the Crossfitters, who in turn minimalized all the other exercise forums. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? Come on people! Shame on you.
All fitness activities have merit. They all engage your muscles, your heart, your lungs and your mind in some form. AND THAT IS FITNESS. Having preferences is natural and it will keep you engaged. We do not need to like the same activities to appreciate the benefits and acknowledge the effort it takes to start/maintain/grow a fitness routine. Differences should be embraced not ridiculed.
So to the Yogis, the Personal Trainers, the Crossfitters, the Weight Trainers, the Runners, the Rowers, the Dancers, the Walkers, the Home video workout Crews... BRAVO! You are awesome. You can do it. Keep it up.
Stay Happy & Healthy
