2022 Happy New year - back to some sense of life ?!.

Interesting NYTimes article  on why "

It’s high time for women to reclaim the real strength behind exercise" 

to consider, esp. as we roll into new year 2022 with resolutions! 

BTW talking about new year resolutions - something of my own here. Am back into my blogging site after a gap of several years as I kind of got some of my free time back from busy work and family routines, and will to try to do what I enjoy, i.e., sharing some wisdom from what I read to the world, especially on stuff that matter to growth and development. Hope to keep this going.

Back to the article, completely agree with the author's key message  "

Exercising to Slim Down? Try Getting Bigger" ... 

to encourage women to work out for strength with the fringe benefit of the pursuit of visible muscle, and that the strength training shouldn't be gender biased.  

Also love the point she makes on "

exercise not only for physical but also mental strength. I exercise to feel the endorphin high of accomplishment and to manage life’s lows...". 

 

Finally, "

I now know how fortunate .. to be living in an era when a growing number of fitness professionals sell exercise not as a punishment, but as a celebration of what our bodies can do".  

Enjoy 2022 and Celebrate life !
