I Fell in a Hole
I am a people watcher. I like to watch people, their mannerisms, how the move and how they interact with other people. I love to watch young parents with young children. It makes me think back to when my children were young and all the fun Lisa and I had with them. I watch and look at people and try to guess what their profession is, where they are from and what they do as a hobby. I used to people watch and try to guess who works out. Don’t do that anymore, it’s too easy. I now watch and try to figure out why people don’t work out. I haven’t figured that out yet. Being in the business I’m in, you can call it the fitness industry, coach, or personal training; I’m around people who are either in shape or on their way to getting in shape. This is especially true if you train with us a Pro Performance. Now everyone isn’t in great shape when they enter the doors, but one thing everyone has in common is that they are willing to work. They are sick and tired of feeling like they feel, looking like they look and are willing to work to make a change. They have made a conscious decision to change their lives. The Pro Performance Team has had a hand in changing a lot of lives in North West Georgia. So I guess we are in the life changing business. I guess you are thinking, I fell in a hole. What does this title have to do with this article? I write a lot of articles about the ladies who train with us, but today this one is for all you guys. I’m not talking about the men who train with us, but the average American man. Here is the situation, a hypothetical situation. I may sound crazy, but stay with me. I’m going to give one example. A man goes on a hunting trip. He is walking through the wood and falls in a hole. This man is 6 feet tall. The hole is 6 feet deep. There is a branch lying across the hole that he can reach and pull himself out of the hole. The branch is big enough to hold him. He grabs the branch and begins to pull. But wait! This is the average American man. He can’t do one pull up so he can’t pull himself out of the hole. The man dies! This is a tragedy! If only he could have done ONE pull up with his body weight. Men, get off your butts and get into the weight room! NO EXCUSES! JUST RESULTS! Train hard and smart and God Bless!

I know someone like that, my husband, he thinks he is in good shape...wow, he doesn't even realize how much he is not in shape...I am 6 years older than him and in far better shape than he is..I have tried to motivate him to no avail..I belong to a gym and also have all types of equipment at home, from weights, to a stability ball to resistence bands and he won't even go near them..
Great article..thanks.
