Physical rehabilitation is tough
Anyone who has ever had to go through physical rehabilitation knows and understands that their will be pain involved.
- Your joints will have become stiff and swollen
- Your muscles will have atrophied and become weak
- You are constantly battling the doubts that you can return to your former activities and level of performance
Physical conditioning is hard
As a whole, our planet is in a full scale battle with obesity. Most people prefer not to be obese and in fact, would rather be
athletic and trim. The problem is that conditioning is hard.
- Its difficult to get out of bed in the morning and perform 30 45 minutes of cardio
- Its a pain in the ass to keep up with a gym bag and all the assorted gym stuff
- It consumes precious time
- Eating a diet that is nutritious, healthy and tasty requires additional planning and preparing
- It can be expensive in either gym fees or gym equipment (if you have the space)
Strength training is a battle
As we age, muscle becomes more difficult to maintain, while our fat stores increase with every extra bite
- Lifts and poundages that we did with ease ten years ago are now our max
- Steroid use and abuse seems to be the norm
