Scott: For fitness athletes, looking better is necessary but insufficient for quantity and quality of life. For tactical athletes, performing better is necessary but insufficient if you’re a trainwreck of injured inefficiency, downing a Jim Beam and percocet cocktail to manage the pain of performing. Don’t just look and perform better; move, feel… BE better.
My Comment: So true! I believe its a mix of a lack of education of the everyday-life-athletes (who does not want move, feel and be better?) starting by imitating their parents, school-sports, media and the result of ongoing disinformation fed by the (mis-)“leaders“ of the old Fitness-Industry pointing out the „advantages“ of the in any way inferior „high-tech“ fitness nonsense. If you have no clue how to structure a good workout and choose simple but effective exercises you need a product that can materialize pretended or misused knowledge of other people or traditions (vibrating kettlebell – still cant believe it!) to make a lot of money with people who know even less… I have a strong scary feeling that we are misused in many areas we dont have the necessary knowledge in yet. Just have to think of BP and the many others industrial giants.
Better is better!
