We learn what we
practice. Of course we do. That’s obvious. Except it isn’t. We think:
I work out; I can do whatever. If
we primarily work on strength training, cardio challenges may flummox us. If we spend all our time on the treadmill,
those moving boxes may prove more challenging than we expect. There are several ways to work with this.
One way is to
cross-train. We all need to work with
our cardio, our strength, and our flexibility.
Balanced workouts keep us, well, balanced.
Another way is to
accept what we are. Some of us, like Gimli, are natural sprinters. Others
excel at heavy objects. We can do the
minimum of the things that come less naturally and focus on what we love.
We will improve
what we work on. Let’s work!
