The culture has picked up
simplicity as a buzzword. There is
a whole magazine about how buying a bunch of things will make things
simpler. Much is made of three-ingredient
recipes, one-stop shopping, and seven easy steps to whatever.
That’s not what it is. Or at least not necessarily. We have some confusion between
simplicity and optimization, between the look and the thing. We do not need separate specialized
gadgets for, say, poaching eggs, making quesadillas, and cooking bacon: I do all those things with a pan.
In working out, we all have
favorite toys: bikes, weights,
goggles, classes. You can’t open a
magazine without seeing some version of the perfect workout that uses just
resistance bands, or tin cans, or park benches, or space aliens (actually, I
would read the space alien one…).
Do whatever works. Do what
you like, what pushes you, and what your body responds to. It doesn’t have to be complicated. Just move.
