Everybody knows about t...This is a very good point. Everybody knows about the benefits of being fit and eating healthy, also the dangers of being sedentary and overweight, blah, blah. They see the facts, they see the logic. But still, they won't change their lives until something, a "trigger", makes them get involved emotionally, too. It is not enough for motivation to simply _know_, one needs to _feel_, no matter if it is fear or desire.<BR/>Another good question is (maybe for another blog post coming? :)), as Tamikka pointed out, how to turn an initial (often very short-lived) flame into a burning fire that lasts long enough to bring results - especially because, as I think about it, modern life doesn't actually encourage perseverance, it makes you believe you can/should get everything immediately. (Like credit cards enable you to buy things you can't actually afford yet. Also, there's liposuction, and so on.) Investing time, a.k.a. patience, is somehow out of most equations...Gabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01280125583046411216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6746449661347809966.post-59508882334629754342008-03-07T20:41:00.000-08:002008-03-07T20:41:00.000-08:00Wow!

I still look at all the "...That's good stuff Tracy. I still look at all the "fitness" mags, fitness artilces in other mags, even watch dumb infomercials, even though 99% of it has zero to do with how I train. People always want to know if a certain book is "worth it". Is ETK "worth" $25. If something gets you psyched to keep training, gives you the will power to think "I don't really want to eat that", then it's worth it. The PX90 infomercial is pretty good.Bill Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00516370075094663987noreply@blogger.com
