⁣Sam was already a superhero when he finally picked up the shield, officially.⁣
Did he decide that he was already good enough to wield it as the new Captain America? ⁣
No. He started training. ⁣
No super soldier serum, just hard work and discipline. ⁣
⁣
As you progress through your own epic hero origin story there will come times that you push past your previous limits and achieve your existing goals. ⁣
While these are certainly proud moments of achievement, remember that every time you level up - you begin the start of a new one.⁣

Completing a goal should be the indication of setting a new one. ⁣
The journey of health, fitness, wellness, and overall self improvement has no true ending - just incremental progress. ⁣

It’s not going to happen in a montage -
so it’s up to you to find the time to work at it till you can stare down that next goal and tell yourself ‘I can do this all day’.⁣

Being hard to kill isn’t about skill in combat. Maintaining and improving your overall health and wellness will steel your mind and body against anything.⁣
⁣
Life puts you in a constant state of struggle - everyday physical exertion, regular nutrition and hydration, maintaining your immune system, long hours without enough rest. ⁣
You put yourself through the wringer. ⁣
There are so many things in the world that you can’t control - but these are the things you can affect. ⁣
⁣
Make time for physical activity, whether it’s hitting the gym or simply going for a walk.⁣
Have that side salad instead of fries.⁣
Drink an extra bottle of water.⁣
Read a book, and put the phone down earlier for a little extra sleep. ⁣
Health and wellness isn’t a singular action - ⁣
Small decisions add up over time, and ignoring them can lead to bigger problems. ⁣
⁣
Life can drag you down, so become hard to kill. ⁣
In this difficult world full of obstacles, ⁣

⁣
Are you worthy? It’s a good question to reflect on, and something worth asking.⁣
It’s like holding up a mirror to the quality of your character, and your actions.⁣
Being worthy is a continuous process, not a singular achievement.
Qualities can change. ⁣
From taking the time for simple acts of kindness, to developing the discipline of mindset for bettering yourself.
It all adds up.⁣
Having goals, working hard to slowly achieve them, and then setting new goals once they’re in sight. ⁣
Thor was never the god of hammers, and he’s had to prove his worthiness many times.⁣
It’s what is on the inside that counts, as it drives your actions to prove to yourself and others that you are worthy.⁣
⁣
‘Because that’s what heroes do.’⁣

I want to share MY reason for becoming a certified personal trainer and why a certification with may be a great option for those of you in my shoes. Many of you were about what exactly I had to overcome to get back on track with fitness, here’s my MRI. A half dozen doctors have looked at that and said that they aren’t sure, other than lots of inflammation and tendinosis, what was causing my problems, but they figured they should probably open me up anyway and take a look around. Even exploratory shoulder surgery can be permanently limiting to shoulder range of motion so I said no thanks. One doctor had a guess that my chronic inflammation could be an autoimmune issue (spoiler alert: he was right) which means I was right for not trying to solve it with surgery. Instead, by incorporating workouts from a personal trainer who specialized in adaptive techniques, I was able to strengthen the rest of the shoulder girdle, chest, arms, and back, with significantly less tension on my shoulder tendons, giving them far fewer reasons to get inflamed. They don’t always listen, but it’s way, way better than before. I just have to make sure to always adapt my exercises to the way I need them to be (for instance, all my bench pressing has to be done with a “neutral grip,” which means I gotta do it with dumbbells parallel to my body). As you can imagine, this is a huge part of why I wanted my personal trainer certification. I want to know how to work my janky body in just the right ways, to make it a lot less janky, a little more? I dunno? Spanky? – Anyway, reminder that you can do this stuff too, pretty easily, while learning online at your own pace.
