 Walk the Walk
I've posted a fair bit on these forums over the last couple of days and thrown my opinions around while doing so. I don't think too many people would have a problem with that. This is after all a public forum. I still find it concerning, though, that both Joeschmoe and Rose of Cairo felt that any expression of contrary thinking to what one particular thread starter apparently wanted to hear was untoward in some way. This is supposed to be a forum for personal development for smart people. Personal development isn't easy and often consists of breaking down long held beliefs. Holding onto a belief in the face of evidence to the contrary, even refusing to look into or discus new information, at least until it is posted in another thread, to me is just a little silly.
However, I've been thinking about how I refuse to take advice regarding health and fitness from a doctor, nutritionist or anyone else for that matter who are themselves unhealthy or overweight. Sick people are simply the worst people to be giving advice to other sick people about getting well.
What I figured was - why should anyone here listen to what I have to say about health, fitness, diet or anything else for that matter? Take my opinion on intervals vs. traditional cardio. I haven't been for a run in years nor do I play any sport other then teach boxing and some wrestling with both resembling intervals. So I decided to show the product of my knowledge as it stands. In other words I've talked the talk and now I intend to walk the walk. To that end, check out my latest blog post (see my signature below) for some photos my girlfriend took yesterday of me playing with my complete home gym.
