One of the things I try to do every August is a deep house cleaning. Every single time, the hardest part is not the cleaning; it’s dealing with the accumulation of junk. Obviously, there is a metaphor there for fitness.
Sometimes what we need to do most is to strip away the excess. Maybe that means getting rid of that secret cookie stash. Maybe we stop looking for the absolutely perfect workout and do the one we have the time and energy for today. Maybe we don’t need to find the socks that match our workout top. And I’m almost entirely positive that whatever that new fitness gizmo is, we don’t need it.
Fitness certainly has its complexities; this is why I have a job. But it is also very simple: get sweaty, lift stuff, stretch, and don’t eat too much crap. If we keep that in mind, we might discover that we’ve got a lot more space than we thought.
