Confidence And Something New
It's hard for me to jump into new things especially when I have no idea what I’m doing and I’m lost.
I work out regularly but only because I know what I’m doing(Mostly lol) and have been for over a decade. The less confidence we have in something the harder it will be not only to engage in it but also to improve.
For example, I'm in the midst of trying to get this thing, “Nerve and Muscle fitness” going and honestly I'm lost in the sauce most days. Yes, I do educate myself on building a brand, trying to get my name out there, providing information, and providing a service. But, this is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this in my life. Although I can’t compare it it's as if I’m going on a journey across the plains of early 19th-century North America with my family. What will I find or what will I do when I get there, who knows?
I’m traversing over uncharted land and I’ll be making mistakes as I go. But I gather that the more experience I gain along with the mental, “Muscle” I’ve been strengthening things will become easier. With this wealth of experience, I gain in confidence. My discipline in other areas of my life can only transfer so much.
Exercise/Training
This brings me to exercise, training, and getting off the couch. For most people making the decision to be more active can be a difficult one.
Where do I go?
How much is it?
Which aerobics class is best for me?
What if people stare at me?
I wish to make that easier. I wish to give you a firm foundation of strength and confidence by which you can jump into other things. It will be free… for now.
Overcoming Isometrics Course
I believe low-tech/overcoming isometrics is one of the best ways to build this base of confidence and strength. The next is progressive calisthenics. I’ll probably do something on that in the future.
But with overcoming isometrics you have a way of jumping into a workout at whatever pace you’re comfortable with. Due to the fact that there is little movement involved, not much time is needed to learn technique. All you have to do is generate force. Whether you start generating force at 30% or 50% makes no difference. As long as you gain experience and learn to generate more force over time you will receive benefits and plenty of them which I’ll link to at the bottom.
With Overcoming Isometrics you have a time, cost, and energy-efficient way to build up
Your Strength
Tendons
Cardio
And Confidence
The best thing is that it is for everyone. I’m still experiencing benefits from this form of training after all these years. So go check on my YouTube channel at the beginning of the week and you should see something there. I won’t upload the video here because that requires more storage space and with that will require more money. I’m cheap right now lol.
Personal Training/Gym Partner
As a personal trainer and having had gym partners in the past I understand that there are advantages to having these. But I’m also aware that some, if given enough information, just need to be pushed in the right direction. If you know someone who might be interested in joining you bring them along—the more the merrier.
However, I believe the best consistency in one’s fitness journey is when one’s dependence on outside influences is minimal. With this consistency comes progress.
Wrap Up
So I hope you enjoy this cheaply made/free course on overcoming isometrics. The information you learn from this will come in handy one day.
“After the match, Volanko, Gama, and the boy sat in a shade as the two wrestlers talked idly and all shared from a large basket of fruit, a gift to Champion Gama who was a strict vegetarian.
With appropriate deference, the boy addressed him.
“Gama, may I ask you something?”
“Ask?”
“Your opponent was very big…”
“..and yet I threw him like a baby.”
“How?” Yosselle asked in wonderment
“It’s really quite simple,” the Indian said good-naturedly. “In the Punjab, where I lived, there was a large tree behind my house. Each morning I would rise up early, tie my belt around it, and try to throw it down.”
“A tree?” the boy marveled
“For twenty years.”
“And you did it?”
“No, little one,” Gama smiled, “But after a tree… a man is easy.” (Pg 13, The Spiritual Journey of Joseph Greenstein)
Thank you for making it to the end and let me know your thoughts below.
Until next time
