The Insanity of Exercise
Reaching for a new level in life is always a challenge. Reaching for a new level in exercise almost is even more so. The ironic thing is that progress in exercise is often far more measurable, and thereby even possibly easier to calculate.
It is weird though, as we are breaking down our muscles on purpose. Only to then have our bodies naturally rebuild them back up even stronger.
Using progressive overload, and also getting into the state of hypertrophy; You can get yourself even stronger than you could have imagined before.

The Decay of Life
We are all floating towards the cosmic abyss that is death, and that is a bleak statement to make in a post such as this. However if we fail to realize that at any point, then our efforts are not going to be as potent as they need to be.
Exercise, and by proximity nutrition, are ways that we stave off that floating trajectory. We give ourselves not only a bit more time statistically, but more importantly an enhanced life.
By exercising we are giving our bodies better range of motion, burned off excess calories, and increased strength. All of which come into play in our lives, whether we realize it or not. Think about playing with your kids, or even grandkids.

There is ALWAYS another Level
Look you can never be done with exercise. I don’t care how much you do, and there is such a thing as too much exercise too. When you get to the point where you reach the latter, then your next level changes from exercise to rest and/or nutrition.
They come together, but most people view that progress through the lens of being in the gym. That is okay for most early levels of progress.
However like the title of this post says, the insanity of exercise, is how simple yet complex it is.
We constantly need to push ourselves to a new height, and there are variables that help you do just that. I talk about them on my blog here:
