The Tale of Two Suits
Just last weekend, I was getting ready for a family member’s wedding.
I looked in my closet for a suit to wear. I had 2 suits to choose from, so I tried them both on.
The first suit was huge on me. The sleeves were too long. I think the tailor hemmed the pants with his eyes closed. I honestly think this suit would have fit better on Shaq.
So, I tried on the second suit. This suit fit perfectly. The sleeves were the perfect length. The pants looked great. I looked like a more handsome Ryan Gosling.
I weighed my options, and I decided to wear the first suit to the wedding—the suit that looks like it was made for the Iron Giant.
Pretty ridiculous, right?
No one in their right mind would pick a suit that’s 10 sizes too big for them over a suit that fits them perfectly.
So, why do we pick generic, “one-size-fits-all” fitness routines that aren’t built for us and expect to see results?
Generic Workouts are the Baggy Suits of Fitness
The truth is, everyone is different. That video you watched where the guy eats a spoonful of protein powder and dunks his face in ice water? It may have worked for him, but your body, schedule, and goals are unique.
You live in Kandiyohi County, not Silicon Valley. You need a fitness regimen that fits into your lake season, backyard barbeque, yard game-filled summer.
