May the holiday season fill your home with
joy, your heart with love, and your life with laughter.

There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge... observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation collects facts; reflection combines them; experimentation verifies the result of that combination.

The month of May is the pleasant time; its face is beautiful; the blackbird sings his full song, the living wood is his holding, the cuckoos are singing and ever singing; there is a welcome before the brightness of the summer.

Seeing, feeling, thinking, believing - these are the stages of how we change our style on the outside and our self-image on the inside.

I can't change the direction of the wind,

but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

We all have a litany of excuses to skip a workout; time, family, work etc. Too often the fact that the gym feels overwhelming and intimidating becomes yet another workout deterrent; which absolutely no one needs Make the gym a more inviting - or at least more sanitary and less frustrating - space by sticking to these five simple gym etiquette rules.

Five Simple rules:

1. Don’t go up to other members and tell them what they are doing wrong. Don’t judge other member's form. Stay in your own fitness lane - perfect your own form.

It is hard enough to get oneself to the gym, no one needs a negative individual coming up to them and criticizing their form. Especially because most people who are overly judgmental don't actually have good form. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. When you find yourself wanting to judge remind yourself of the saying "any judgement is self judgement". Instead of judging others take a look at your own form

2. Don’t hang out on machines and chat with your friends. The gym is not a Starbucks.

I am all for having a fitness buddy. Going to the gym is way more fun with a friend, but don't hang out on the leg press chatting. Talk to your friend after, before or in the change room. Other people want to use the machines.

3. Don’t use your outside voice.

If you go to the gym with a fitness buddy - great - but use inside voices. No one needs to know about your love life or your work troubles.

4. Always wipe off the machines after use.

5. Don’t stay on a cardio machine for longer than thirty minutes if you can see the gym is busy.

And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
