Moving Better

We rearranged a bookshelf in our house the other day. I have notebooks from the past 10 years saved up. These notebooks came out of the basement and on to this bookshelf. The pages are filled with to-do lists, budgeting math, quotes, workout ideas, rough drafts of programs and scattered throughout are blog ideas.

I’m not sure what year I wrote this down, but a loose sheet of paper fell out of one of the notebooks as I took it out of the box, and scribbled on it was the following line.

If how strong you are trumps the ability at which you move, is the strength worth anything?

All this strength and conditioning comes down to that, how well can you move? How well can you control your body?

Moving better is an ever-changing target. It’s a destination you’re never going to reach, because you can always refine your technique and execute better.

This frustrates people. For me, it keeps me in the game. Knowing I can’t reach perfection, but that I can strive for it, is a good reason to get in the gym and move with intent every day.
