Right where you should be. Thanks EJ.

         I listened to the most annoying conversation today. Two people were arguing over which was the best way to exercise.  The two forms they were debating were irrelevant as this same issue has taken place in so many different forms over the years its become beyond tedious.

         I have no argument here. I have some criteria for what make a valid exercise program. It needs to be challenging,  it needs to have safety intrinsically involved in it. Getting injured should not be a regular happenstance. It needs to be fluid, allowing the client to grow in ability, strength, and flexibility. And it would help a lot to be engaging, it s cool when you WANT to go workout.

         Beyond that, the field is wide open. Because not nearly enough people are actually DOING some form of regular training. Hell there are too many people who don't MOVE.  You know what i mean.

          So if you want to drag the tired arguments out go ahead, but do it after the workout, while you are sharing a meal or protein drink. Because that means you've done it.

         The title for this post is something a friend and amazing MMA coach Eric Jackson said.  When you are training, or in fact doing anything you love, you ARE right where you should be. Tonight, going to training was difficult, i wasn't feeling great and there were a thousand reasons to just take it easy and stay home.

          But, getting there and getting the Gi on, I could already feel the change. Being around people as happy to be there for the same person is infectious. And the work seals the deal, moving... yes the joy of movement, of being able to do something with your body that 6 months ago you couldn't think of doing is AWESOME.

          So i invite you to feel that way,  try something or get back to something. And try to look at it as something joyful rather than tedious. If you can't do something else. But just do...........
