Failure Is Good

Posted on May 14th, 2009 by admin in Fitness Philosophy

That’s right you have read correctly, failure is good. I can guarantee you that that will never ring true in any other institution, except when it comes to exercise.

Now for those of you looking for more excuses, don’t misconstrue this to mean failure to exercise. What I am talking about is failure while you’re exercising. Pushing yourself to the point where you can‘t push anymore. Going the extra mile, the extra yard, whatever expression you’ve heard in the past, send your body into complete exhaustion and failure.
If you find yourself in a situation where you do that extra repetition, and you can’t do another, than you have crossed over into the “failure is good” zone. You’ve done a good thing. The best part about it is nowhere else is failure a good term except during exercise.

In some respect you need to fail because you need to know how far you can go, and the next time out you can go a little further. Take advantage of that notion. Tomorrow while you are exercising, fail as frequent and as often as possible. And when that’s all done, then fail again.

    Exercising on a regular basis is so crucial for overall fitness. This article and many others on websites like http://fitnessforu.info do give a certain motivation to keep fit. Rest is on a person.

    A really informative article. To me working towards weight loss should be a way of life rather than being a routine. I also don’t believe in the calorie concious way of life, the real focus should be optimising the metabolic rate rather than focusing only the calorie intake. I recently started a site regarding weight loss, I wish to quote a few lines from this article (I will give this source link, and credit to this site). Again..

    Thanks in Advance
