November is a month of gratitude.
I am thankful, today, for weights. Not just heavy things, but specifically weights. Of course, we can get strong by lifting couches or groceries or growing children. We can use our muscles to lift our own body weight in various ways.
But the person who decided that having a set of measured weights in graduated sizes is a genius. With measurement comes the ability to track and plan and plot progress. We can benchmark where we are and we can add incrementally to our challenges so we can develop in a healthy way.
Also: weights are much easier to grip than couches or children.
What is your favorite piece of fitness equipment?
