| The Seven Deadly [fitness] Sins | |
| The 7 deadly sins, an ancient concept, but lets transform it into the modern world of health and fitness Diet [Gluttony] The sin Gluttony was about over consumption, but nowadays while over consumption is the sin of some, for many the sin is poor food selection due to poor food knowledge, often fueled by mass marketing. All of us can make an improvement to our diets and we don't need to starve ourselves to eat sensibly. If you are unsure, then seek the advice of a dietician. "You are what you eat" is a phrase we have all have heard. So stand back from the chips and soft drink And of course the opposite of gluttony is being underweight, we need to aim at a sensible weight range. Israel has banned skinny models We are constantly reminded of the effectiveness of good diet, when I was at the doctors earlier in the week having stitches removed, she mentioned in our discussions that insufficient protein can cause the body to cannibalise muscle for protein. Wow, I'm going to research that one. Not Exercising [Sloth] Historically Sloth was failure to utilise one's talents and gifts, in modern times it refers to laziness. The reality is that a large percentage of the population do no exercise at all and it shows in death statistics, with 34% of deaths been associated with heart failures or the like. But you don't need statistics to see this one, have a look at those around you in the office or at the supermarket. You how to avoid being like them. Seems that some don't even have enough energy to use the remote Exercising when injured or sick [Greed] Greed is the desire to acquire more than one needs. The reality is that we exercise to make ourselves better, but sometimes we are unable to back off when we should and instead of enhancing ourselves we enhance the problem. Also we look silly Failure [Wrath] Wrath is the inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. But what we do is focus those feelings at ourselves in the face of a failure. Failure is not the sin, the sin is letting failure defeat you. All of us will fail at something at some point, probably several times. The cleaver way to deal with failure is to turn it into an opportunity, reflect back at what went wrong and using that as an opportunity to improve your way forward Different Paths [Envy] Envy is the resentment that another person has something they perceive themselves as lacking. Where we tend to go with that one is in seeing the paths that others take as being wrong or irreverent. Where in reality each of us should take the path they want and wouldn't be a pretty boring world if we all took the same path. No warmup, warmdown and stretch [Acedia] Acedia is the neglect to take care of something that one should do. I see this so often, it only takes a 5 minutes to warm up and another 5 to warmdown and stretch. So why wouldn't you do it? Muscles are more likely to injure if they are put under stress when they are cold Flexibility reduces injury risk Self [Lust] Lust is usually thought of as excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature. The fitness equivalent is that the focus of fitness is based on the thoughts of how others will desire them. Exercise is much more satisfying when you are focused on what it does for you, quality of life. But according to this => Article <= some females are getting an adult bonus at the gym. fortunately this does not apply to males… Letting [Pride] get in the way Pride identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others. In fitness terms your goals should be your own and not a target based on where someone else is. There is also self pride, where you let whatever get in the way of making the most out of your workout, for example not adjusting the weight to maximise an effective workout but focusing on the quantity of weight as the success even if it comes at the cost of poor Range Of Motion (ROM). Perhaps I should of written about those who don't put their equipment away or wipe down after themselves here, but there's more than one sin in that. Gym Appearance [Vainglory] Vainglory is unjustified boasting, though it doesn't matter if its justified or unjustified. Vainglory has been partially replaced by vanity. The fitness version of this is feeling that its mandatory to have a particular image while at the gym itself and the problem occurs when one is not happy that they are achieving that image, which is putting them at risk of not doing what is best for them. Must admit while most go about their own work, you see some funny things in the gym and this list applies to both males and females;
Of course the mirrors are there for a reason, so you can watch your form Perhaps I'll be guilty of that one when my new shoes arrive Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins | |
