One Kick Ten Thousand Times

(mark19). Submitted on Tue, 20 Sep 2011

Granted, this may make some sense if we have been a set routine for six months to a year, but is this really the case?



More than likely, if this is our first go-around with a  fitness lifestyle, it is not. Most of us are still in the rookie category, enamored by the advances of modern science and technology. We actually still believe there really is something which will make us look good in the mirror by the end of the week That makes us try something other--another one of the ten thousand kicks we find everyday in our in-boxes.

The underlying problem is that we focus on results as opposed to the way of obtaining them. That is typical if we have have never been into fitness before. All we can think of is the exciting forthcoming event. There is always the class reunion or the Christmas party to look good for. Or, on the other hand, there is the doctor-threat of diabetes if forty pounds is dropped immediately. Catalysts like those will make us do anything to meet the required goals. Yet, when we do, succeeding in an almost miraculous manner,we find that we quickly return back to where we started.

That happens because our bodies simply resist quick transformations. They take time to allow and accept permanent changes. This whole process really does take a while--six months at bare minimum. It requires numerous internal adjustments that simply cannot be rushed. In short, lasting results just do not come over night--no matter what we do or what we take.

This is the meaning of the one kick ten thousand times. The kick is the one routine done many times  (weeks, months) just like a true black belt would practice. That is how we should train in spite of a everything and everyone who stands in our way. Anything less opens us to switching our set patterns--making us someone whom Bruce Lee would never fear opposing.

Doing our lethal kick the right way for ten thousand times should be the only reason for doing what we do. In other words, coming in two belt notches by the weekend or two dress sizes within one month should not be our primary intent. Rather, there must be a deep long-lasting commitment to our workout routine, diet and supplement program. That is what we need for our bodies to permanently change as a result of our efforts. That is our one kick which eventually will work on our adversary--our own unfitness.
