FREE WILL

In honor of the upcoming election day here in the U.S. next Tuesday -
I've decided to touch upon some of the most familiar American values -
With a Deliberate Movement twist, of course!

So, today, let's start with "free will"...

In the most basic sense, free will is the ability to choose your own destiny.
It's the ability to choose how you think and how you act.

We're so lucky to live in a country that allows us the free will to do and say whatever the heck we want (within the limits of the law).

However...

Let's place free will into the world of health and fitness.

We may have the pleasure of choosing to eat whatever we want and whatever tastes good, whenever we want it...
but we really can't exercise the free will to eat whatever we want AND also have the optimal body that we truly want.

It might seem unfair - but it's a fact!

We may have the right to succumb to our lazy side when we get home from work...
But we can NOT employ the free will to be constantly sedentary AND also exude a healthy, strong, functional body that we desire.

It just won't happen!

Giving in to every little thing you want, just because you have the free will to have it, will NOT lead you to the ultimate picture of health!

You can NOT have everything!

That's the catch 22 about this specific "American value".
You can't always take advantage of free will AND have all that your heart desires too.

So, choose...

Will you choose to practice some restraint and earn a fabulously fit figure?

Or will you take advantage of the free will to indulge endlessly as well as neglect to be active, and wind up with a drab, disgusting bod?

Remember...
YOU have the free will to decide your own destiny...
