Many people assume that exercise
has to be painful, that I’m in it to torture people, and that gyms and studios
are dungeons in disguise. Nope, nope,
and nope. If exercise is painful, we are
doing it wrong; at worst it should be uncomfortable the way growth is
uncomfortable. I do my job because I
want people to have more joy in their lives and fitness opens up so many more
paths to joy than we have available without it.
While it is true that many gyms and studios have a dark and gloomy look
and while Pilates equipment at first glance looks like it has been borrowed
from Torquemada, I strive to make my studio a place of happiness and laughter
as well as hard work.
Fitness is not an end in
itself. It is an opportunity cost for
all the other things we want to do in our lives. It makes our brains work better and our
bodies last longer. We get to see more
amazing views, take more exciting adventures, and play with more enthusiasm
when we are fitter.
Eyes on the prize, dear
ones!
