Old knowledge

There is no secret to getting into shape. There is no one approach, no miracle diet or magic pill. There is only hard work and common sense.

I was watching something on TV over the weekend and it was talking about the diet of warriors back in the ancient Greeks' days. Now, they must have been ignorant to proper nutrition right? Wrong. They ate high protein and complex carbs for energy and all the fruits and veggies they could. Wow, how odd (notice the sarcasm) that they ate the same sorts of foods that elite athletes nowadays eat.

Guess what else they did? They trained hard and smart for what they would be doing. Today we call it "sport specific training" so we sound smart.

So don't always be wondering if there's something better out there. There's always going to be interesting exercises to try, but the truth is nothing is going to get you where you want to go except for hard work.

You have to actually do it, not just research it.

Train smart,
