I'm writing this as a do a workout so bear with me as this may become more and more non-sensical as the endorphins start flowing. I'm off to do a 500 meter row followed by lunges, squats, burpees and mountain climbers. Don't worry about me though. If you come in this week you will do this workout...
Ok 500 meters down. Now for the burpees etcetera...
...and I'm back! Heart pounding and sweat running onto the keyboard. Why do we put ourselves through a workout that could be compared to torture? Let's think that over. I'm going back on the rowing machine. Hold that thought...
While I rest let me try to answer that question. Why train when you could just get exercise walking to work? The answer is that it feels good to be alive. To feel our heart beat, to use the body and then have it come back stronger. It may be hard work but at least it's physical and something we can feel. Through technology we may be more connected to each other than ever. However it's exercise that let's us connect to the physical universe through the use of our bodies. And through this physical connection we ultimately re connect with ourselves. Or is that just the endorphins talking...
