Why
It’s a simple word with a magnificence amount of meaning, but almost no one ever uses it. Most people don’t ask why BEFORE they do something and carry out their lives by rote; for instance, in the gym it seems too many people are stretching, doing “core” work on Swiss balls, walking backwards treadmills, isolating areas of their bodies to overcome injuries like shin splints or elbow tendonitis, solely using exercise bands and not weights or vice versa, sitting on machines instead of doing bodyweight exercise, etc. Almost none of them are asking themselves WHY they are doing any of it, but yet have a religious like fervor around their routines. So, I’m going to spend the next few posts asking why and see what I come up with and maybe learn something along the way.
