What Are You Worrying About?

I see it and hear it all the time. People sweating the small stuff when they should be sweating the big stuff. People who don't have the basic principles in place yet they want to add in something so minor that it may not make any difference at all.

Stop worrying about what fat burners you should be taking if you're still skipping breakfast and sucking down a bowl of ice cream before you go to bed. Stop worrying about the latest arm specialization program if you're not able to do at least one chin up. Stop worrying about whether your toes should be pointed in or out when doing calf raises if squats or deadlifts or not even part of your leg workout. Stop worrying about whether interval training or steady state aerobic training is better for you if you're not getting in any exercise at all.

This all seems like logical thinking, but I'm not not seeing or hearing a lot of logical thinkers when it comes to exercise or nutrition. People need to exercise more, get back to the basics, use multiple joint movements and start eating better. Until you start doing that, no gimmick or gimmick idea is going to work.
