“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
–Albert Einstein
“Well-centered fitness” is about progress—call it kaizen. I often connect my Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Social growth to exercise science—overload (in order for a body system to adapt—to grow—it must be stressed to a level greater than that to which it is accustomed), specificity (the body system makes specific adaptations to imposed demands), and reversibility (the adaptive response is quickly lost when the training stimulus is removed—i.e., “use it or lose it”). Einstein captures it well. In life, “keep moving”. Victor Kiam famously said, “Even if you fall on your face, you’re still moving forward.”
“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
–Confucius
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
