Exercise of the Day: One-Arm/One-Leg Push Up

First and foremost, I'm a physical culturist. My workout system develops not only my body, but my mind and fighting spirit as well. In my many years of experience as a physical educator, I've seen a disturbing trend towards mindless, so-called "workouts." People attempt to drug themselves with physical "busy work," typically without thought, rhyme, nor reason. The public buys into every faddish gimmick that comes along. Looks are the priority: the proverbial six-pack and tight buns are the sole reasons they drag themselves to the gyms. Some of the slightly more enlightened give a cursory thought to their sports performance or otherwise improved athleticism. Often, the men are trapped into their continual rounds of bench-pressing and curls while the women seemingly seek their destinies upon the "treadmill to nowhere" all the while lulling themselves with the lullaby of the My-pod pied piper.  Instead of being engaged, every effort is made to disengage from potential mind/body connection.
