I often get the question, "What exactly is strength?" This is a subject open to interpretation, and virtually no one is wrong. With that being said, I will tell you a little bit about what I feel strength is. Strength transcends being big, muscular, and strong. Strength transcends the ability to K.O. someone in the first round. What strength actually means is the ability to live optimally by getting rid of the negative shit in your life, wiping away the tears, hoisting the flag of victory, and finally just FUCKING LIVE! The person I know who has the most strength is my mother, so I will use her as an example. Her daily routine is this:
4:00 AM. Wake up, turn on news, drink some coffe.
5:00 AM. Half hour on the treadmill, then hits the bands (which can be bought from www.elitefts.com) for close to twenty minutes. She does a full body workout, 3 times a week, and when she does not do a full workout, she does the treadmill and works her abdominals.
6:00 AM. Go in shower and start getting ready for work. My sister and I start getting up at this time as well.
7:00 AM. Makes lunch for work
7:45 AM. Leaves for work. My mother supports two children on a salary thats less than 40 grand a year. Sure she gets upset, but she never complains.
5:30 PM. Come home, cook dinner if needed.
9:00 PM. Go to bed
Wake up repeat again, again, and again.
My mother just does it, and thats it. Thats strength. People complain about working out and not able to eat healthy? Come the fuck on. People complain that their lives just suck, or they don't make enough money? Come the fuck on. Im no motivational speaker, but I do speak on behalf of Strength.
Get Strong or Die...thats answer to life.
Stay strong,
