Went to a memorial service the other day for a co-worker's father. His name was Bob Hamilton and he was a World War 2 vet. They say 1,000 WWII vets are dying every day, which shows we are rapidly losing this great generation. The service was not sad, but rather a celebration of his life. Fittingly, he passed away on Father's Day.
When Bob was 40 he suffered a serious heart attack and was given just 8 years to live. In all likelihood, he has outlived the doctor who gave this premature death sentence. Did Bob live his life in worry, stressing that he only had a short time to live? Heck no. He lived a full life of service in many areas, which of course included the military during the thick of things, 1940-1945. He enjoyed many years of farming and travel and thanked God for his abilty to work and provide for his family.
Why am I posting this today? Because no one knows what their fate is. And for certain, no doctor can possibly predict someone's fate to that extent. That is why doctoring is known as a "practice" - they couldn't possibly know what is exactly happening in a person's body. Just the same, no trainer can piece together someone's physical history and know how their body had to adapt to a lifetime of injuries or imbalances. Or know what their genetic predisposition is. That's why one must use the Gym Movement protocol and listen to their body. Did Bob sometimes feel weak and flustered after working hard on his farm? I don't know. But I do know he lived 43 years LONGER than he was "supposed" to.
So while it is fine to read and research many different sources, realize that no one knows exactly what you need. That is, but YOU.
