Fitness professionals are strong because they carry around so many ass anchors. Have that client who just wears your ass out by being so needy and demanding? That is an ass anchor. Have that employee that is almost good, but secretly fights every change or new thing you try to do? That is an ass anchor. Have that friend who resents your fitness and career because he is worthless and unwilling to take the risk you did? He is yet another ass anchor holding back the good and hard working. Of course there is your family, who hate you being in fitness and wish you would eventually grow up and become an accountant like Uncle Ed, who died of stress when he was 58 and looked like a 90 year old pile of mold when he died. And the sad thing is that person lying next to you in the morning might be working very hard to keep you from chasing your dreams because he or she doesnt have any of their own. Ass anchors are why many fit pros have vertical jumps of over 5; carrying around that baggage for years makes you an immensely strong person, if it doesnt wreck your soul first. People who love and support you, however, are like feathers and you can stuff 50 of them in your backpack and run miles without a sweat. Your goal this weekend is reach down, unclasp those hands wrapped around your muscular ass and run like hell on fire. Ass anchors aweigh my friends and then run with the wind. (A friend asked me to repost this one from last year so she could share it with her anchor).
