Fitness blogs...

So along the way I have started collecting other blogs about fitness. Some I read and I love, others I read and I hate. 

One of the ones I love, not simply for the name which is epic in nature, is Strong is the New Skinny SINS. SINS links many other blogs, opening my eyes to the world wide web of internet fitness bloggers; we can talk about them later. I like SINS, I especially like their Facebook page. I enjoy the links and seeing others who value strength and fitness rather than a pant size. I am not saying that pant size isn't something to chase, but I could stay the same pant size if I could work up to running a 5k three times a week and doing  some of these

One of the articles linked by SINS from Practical Paleolithic discussed how the media set so many of us up for failure. They pump us full of the notion that we can have a full time job, raise a family, work out to maintain a body fat % of 5 while still sleeping our full 8 hours a day. I have been giving this a lot of thought and have definitely noticed that since unplugging from the evil idiot box (No cable television service, I do still watch Netflix) I have had fewer negative cognition's about the state of my body. I do think that some of us out there really need some media awareness on the side of our fitness order. Media want to make money, they cannot tell you that you are doing a great job, and then expect you to buy their product that will make you better/faster/stronger/anythingbutwhatyouare.

So while you dedicated five wonder over to SINS and Practical Paleolithic remember that they are great sites, but I am the person you actually know!

P.S. I hit the two mile mark running yesterday.
