There is a saying, “Numbers don’t lie.” The truth is they do. This morning four men met in the 3PP. One in his 60’s, two in their 50’s, and one in his 30’s.
We worked exclusively on our core for forty. We began in the TRX with 55 seconds of atomics, 55 seconds of saws, 55 seconds of side planks on each side, and 55 seconds of up/downs. After a 55 second break we did 55 seconds of downers, 55 seconds of flutters, 55 seconds of downers, 55 seconds of flutters and a 55 second break. Finally we jumped on the bitch beam and did 55 toes up followed by 55 chins. 55 seconds of halftime and rinse and repeat. We all left tired. The second half was much harder than the first. All minutes got progressively harder and the body/mind wanted to drop earlier and more often during the second half.
Your life may be kinda like our workout. The second half is harder. The distresses seem to build at home and away as you move from the carefree to the careful to the fully responsible.
This is why you gotta build a strong CORE now, regardless your number. Nobody can do this hard work for you. And, here’s the good news. Once you build strength within, nobody can take it – only test it. How freakin’ magic is that, my friend. You are not what your number tells you you are. You are not defined by the number of zero’s in your bank account or the number of birthdays in your past. You define you by how you choose to invest your present. Your best buy is to build within. Build within and build beside a few willing to make you do what you can. The acute pain of building within will eliminate the chronic pain you most likely find yourself in. The chronic stuff is especially the enemy of the second half. Do you see it?
Numbers lie. You see, numbers cannot measure the size or strength of your inner, figurative CORE. Only you can, you’ll see. You will become the masterpiece your designer dreamed only you could be. FM, baby. God bless you as you become the original you already are. God bless you as Y.O.U. become the original you already are. God bless you…
