Repost from @tommyjohniii • Weights are 100% unnecessary if strength, power, coordination, endurance, balance, confidence, bone density, hormone whatever, conditioning, awareness, residence, acceleration, velocity, trust, authenticity, and healing freedom are your goal. Weights can be fun. Entertaining. Cute. But unnecessary. You learn how to tickle weights when you learn how to understand your body first, middle and last. Targeting menopausal or perimenopause women now more than ever, young up and coming athletes and the longevity jerk offs on weight lifting this and weight lifting that. I’m here to tell you with absolute certainty, your body is enough. There are too many ways to use your body in varying degrees to prepare, connect, nourish and understand your body whether you are healing cancer, preparing for a baby, avoiding surgery, playing in the NHL, learning how to thrive with three limbs, missing organs, going through chemo, live in a city, are suicidal, addicted to gyms, dropping the labels of MS and RA for good, college athlete, are training to avoid abuse, are on HRT and TRT, are realizing what HRT and TRT do to you and want to stop or are just trying or get out of bed and make a pot of coffee by yourself and sip it after bathing yourself and dressing yourself. Training is all day everyday. It’s non negotiable. It’s the starting point for all cases no matter who you work with or trust. It’s private. Personal. Intimate. Alone. Designed by you. Prescribed by you. Because of all of this your body is enough. Your body has no hours of operation. Your body’s membership is free. And it has the best showers and steam room. Your body is always enough no matter what your goals in healing and performance are. Life is about force and energy. Not weight. Being exceptional at training and shitty at life doesn’t work. Just like being exceptional with food and shitty with nourishment fails. Ask your body. More wisdom and ability every year. Not less. Unless you choose. Up to you.
