It is no secret that Arnold Schwarzenegger was and still is one of the most influential people when it comes to the world of fitness. Though not everyone strives to have Arnold's dominating physique, there is still much about him that should be respected. Atop that list is his unmatchable self-discipline. From nutrition to training, he was militant in his preciseness for perfection. The average joe may be wondering "Well, why would I need to be that self-disciplined? After all, I'm not training for a bodybuilding contest." True, but to a certain degree. Self-disciple is a sliding scale and when it comes to getting fit you want to shoot for the halfway mark at the very least. I am not saying you have to monitor every gram of protein, carbs, etc. that enters your body, but at the very least you should shoot for 70%+ of your meals/snacks to be mostly healthy. What many people tend to fail to acknowledge is that achieving the ideal body, whatever that may be to you, is 70% nutrition and 30% training; "Eat clean and Train Dirty" is the expression I believe.
Getting fit may be a fad to some, but I want to help make it a lifestyle. Take it from me, adopting a fit lifestyle has immediate and long-term benefits. In today's fast paced world, it is easy to get in a rut and simply go with the flow. Getting fit, whether it is through power lifting, running, CrossFit, or even just a morning walk, can increase your energy levels, raise your self-image- hell it can even increase the length of your life! Kind of tough to say no to that.
We made this #GetFit blog, Ashton Kelly and I (Michael Somerville) to try and do a few things- offer insight and tips on lifting, eventually provide workouts for our followers, and ultimately inspire and motivate anyone and everyone willing to listen. So please, if you know anyone into fitness or who wants to acquire a more active lifestyle, have them check out the blog. Comments are much appreciated.
