Are you lifting on a BOSU ball?
I have questions.

At some point, unstable surface training became the holy grail of functional fitness.

The logic?

If standing on a BOSU ball makes balancing harder, then lifting weights on a BOSU must make you stronger.

You hit a PR.
You crush a benchmark.
You drop the weight.
👏👏👏

Then what?

We crave the dopamine rush.
The nods of approval.
The silent scoreboard in our heads lighting up green.

We love 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐬. The suffering proves we’re serious.

“Work hard, play hard.”
“Push through.”
“No pain, no gain.”

The collapse earns us the right to recover. The harder we push, the more virtuous we feel. At work, in training, in life.

But you know what?

New fitness newsletter just dropped.
No PDFs of “5 Booty Band Moves for Fat Loss.”
No discount codes for greens powders.

Just me, trying to make sense of movement, mindset, and this weird thing called longevity.

Warm-up? Or just start moving?

Skipped most of my warm-up before a 45-60 min Zone 2 run. Just a 5-min incline walk—no drills, stretching, or activation. Put #Superdrag Head Trip on pause and caught up with friends instead.

Low-intensity? Ease in. Hard effort? Warm up or pay for it.
