Fitness Is Never Finished

Skip the next six-week program. Ignore that challenge your buddy is doing. Forget fancy.

Fitness fails when it’s temporary.

When we go in thinking it ends or one day “we’ll make it.”

But we won’t.

There is no summit when it comes to health. No Nutritional Superbowl. No single time when we decide that we’ve had our fill of feeling good and it’s time to start feeling bad.

There’s simply today’s workout, today’s food, today’s hydration, and today’s sleep. And then tomorrow’s. And next week’s. And ten years from now.

And while that may sound daunting, it’s actually refreshing when you think about it. It’s what makes health become something we appreciate, practice, respect, and cultivate. Because we have to work for it. Because we can never stop working at it.

Skip the next six-week program. Ignore that challenge your buddy is doing. Forget the fancy, flashy, gimmicky new supplements.

Instead, go into each workout — each good habit, for that matter — with the notion that it will never end. That you’re not there for a quick fix, to lose twenty pounds, or squeeze into a new outfit for your birthday.

There’s temporary, and there’s forever. Which version of health do you want?
