If you’re like me, you were watching the Olympic Men’s gymnastics rings event this morning and you were thinking, “I could never do that”. Or maybe you were thinking, “It must be nice to just be able to do nothing except exercise all the time. If I could do that, I’d finally be thin.” Or maybe, “I would have made a great pole vaulter if I’d tried.” It turns out that none of those thoughts really helps us on our health and fitness journey-adventure.
