Substituting sports performance for life fitness - it's no question a marathon runner or a power lifter is in amazing sports-specific shape, but their life fitness can still suck.<br /> <br /> It's always a balancing act like everything else in life; and I'm not sure I've found any real answers other than the one Mizfit has - to just keep bumbling on and try things to see what works ;)Oysteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788938455953881911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710624077475902383.post-5615298618303975932009-05-08T08:01:00.000-07:002009-05-08T08:01:00.000-07:00Came here by way of MizFit.

I do agree that fitness should be about being fit for your life and I think also it's about building a good foundation for the future - As I get older I want to be able to stay active. But it's hard not to judge by how we look (or the number on the scale) or against specific activities. In my case I feel like I should be able to run, even though deep down I know that it's not essential to be a runner. Have not figured out how to let go of this yet though.JavaChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816858010039395389noreply@blogger.com
