Rehabilitation, conditioning, strength training, etc. – it’s all hard

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.

• It’s difficult to get out of bed in the morning and perform 30 – 45 minutes of cardio
• It’s 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

Have we all become a bunch of crying and whining sissies?
