This was one of the BEST articles I have read in a while. I am going to pull an excerpt here for some of you to read but I highly recommend some to read the FULL article ESPECIALLY bootcamp and fitness instructors because some are guilty of this and I will not front before I got down with the NCSF I learned from some of the best in this nation I too was guilty of this and I am only trying to educate. How Does the Militarization of Fitness Affect Your Workout? In every way possible. It affects your health, happiness, the sustainability of your program, and your ability to reach your goals. Do you believe any of the following are true? No pain, no gain. You have to suffer to get in shape. More is always more. Duh. Working out is not fun, but its an obligation. If I don’t almost throw up, I’m holding back too much. You’re only as good as your last workout. I feel like a loser when I miss a workout. If you answered yes, then youre at the “exercise is war” understanding of fitness. And that’s fine—if you want to wage war on your body, go ahead. Many of us go through that phase. I spent a decade there, with plenty of joint casualties and war stories to prove it. So I’m not belittling you—I’m just saying that this isn’t the only way to train, and it sure as heck isn’t sustainable.
