FOR OPTIMUM HEALTH AND FITNESS GET THE FACTS

Today there exists a vast "network" of questionable and mediocre "modalities" in the fitness industry. I call this network the "S.P.Y. network" since not only does the acronym work, but the three "modalities" appear to be working in tandem to muddy, if not pollute, the waters of the still unregulated fitness industry. The components of the S.P.Y. network regularly engage in spewing both misinformation as well as disinformation in order to benefit themselves while not benefiting the public they claim to serve. Meanwhile, the scientifically proven modalities operating as a result of thorough, evidence-based empirical studies performed by the most prestigious institutes and medical organizations in both the United States and abroad DO NOT stoop to such despicably low levels. They don't have to. The results have always spoken for themselves. The disingenuous S.P.Y. network has never been, nor can it ever be, what is crucial in order to achieve optimum health and fitness. If you are an individual who is a fan of any part or all of the S.P.Y. network, that's your right. The beauty of our great nation is that you are free to engage in any lawful activity that makes you happy, but do get your facts straight before you start buying into notions that are not backed by the SCIENCE of how the human body was designed to function and respond to stimuli. These network S.P.Y. studios continue to crop up everywhere yet there is no evidence to back up their often ridiculous claims. In addition, there is "mounting" evidence (pun intended) that the "S" component of the network does much more harm than good, but of course the operators work very hard to keep these facts from the public. So now we have two kinds of "network studios," the ones in the entertainment industry and the ones that have "hustled" their way into the fitness industry. Climbers, weight-lifters and boxers for example, have never felt the need to spew nonsense about any other modality in order to promote their own. There has never been a reason or need to do so. These legitimate and scientifically proven modalities stand on their own merit whereas the S.P.Y. network barely has a leg to stand on. 

Respect how the human body was designed to function. For optimum cardiovascular and anaerobic health, for optimum organ function and bone mineral density, for optimum cognitive health and for the PURE INTRINSIC PLEASURE that is derived WHILE engaging in what has been proven to work all along for the human body, the mind and for those of you seeking something "spiritual," yes, that too... 

CLIMB, LIFT AND EAT WELL...
