Someone Needs What You Know

Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. Dante wrote that as the inscription for the gates of Hell in The Divine Comedy but, as America gets fatter and our health care costs rise higher, maybe that’s what it should say over the Statue of Liberty. Because what the majority of Americans are doing for fitness is obviously not working. The machine dominance, isolation moves, and cardio hell prescribed by the Fitness Mafia of America is, quite simply, profit-driven garbage that fails to take people where they want to go.

Try, Try Again

'Tis a lesson you should heed, Try, try again;

If at first you don't succeed, Try, try again;

Then your courage should reappear,

For if you will persevere,

You will conquer, never fear;

Try, try again.

It was embarrassing how out of shape I looked. It's easy to lie to yourself in the mirror when you can suck in the gut or flex the pecs a little. This was brutal truth. I was out of shape....

The Arrow and the Song

I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to the earth, I know not where;

For, so swiftly it flew, the sight could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air, It fell to the earth, I knew not where;

For who has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
