Most adults start their fitness journey from a point of unhappiness. Displeasure. Guilt. Some even hate themselves.
When the barrel is full, we commit to action. We explode out of our pockets ready to change what shames us.
We are fueled by the negative perception of who we are and what we’ve become.
Negative momentum propels us to sprint toward a solution. Meanwhile, we aren’t making the association that our problems haven’t come sprinting into our lives. We brought them upon ourselves. Slowly. Steadily. Successfully. Yet, we want to believe that we can outsprint our ailments.
Negativity behaves like kerosene. It fuels the engine of quick fixes. It burns like a flash in a pan. We go hard, fast but with short lived convictions. When we realize that the fast-track isn’t working. We fizzle.
The coefficient in which your attempts to sprint come to fail, is the environment. Those who sprint alone, will pack their satchel and go home because there is no one to expect you to come back.
Those who sprint within a community, will slow their sprint to a well paced run. It is them who will also recondition themselves from shame to success. The coefficient of conditioning is within the community. It happens through the community. Find one.
