“Exercise to stimulate, not to annihilate. The world wasn’t formed in a day, and neither were we. Set small goals and build upon them.”
Oftentimes we want things and we want them now. Patience needs to remain a virtue, and sometimes we need to adopt the mindset that slow and steady wins the race. There are no quick fixes that are healthy or sustainable. Our bodies respond to stimulus (exercise), and adaptation is a result of the human body’s response to this stimulus. If we hope to see a favorable outcome, we must first set realistic goals in both the short-term and long-term, and progress our stimuli appropriately.
