Threshold of pain

Strenuous physical exercise can be really draining. Especially when one starts to push to maximum limit the body can endure. Jog the extra miles, lift extra kilos on the dumbbells, repetitive reps on your gym routines to a point when pain is unbearable. And yet there's the extra ounce of determination that you keep on raising the bar to insane physical ceiling the body can sustain. Heard over KFM the other day about keeping a healthy life style by regularly jog your fats off. Not the slow and steady pace type of jog but the one that will lead you to become potential marathon runner candidate kind of run. Run as if it means a t-rex is on your tail, run crazily fast as if some ugly fat chix is stalking you and about to rape you. The guy on the radio also said, hum and whistle or even sing while running. Jenny interrupted kiddingly by saying, 'yes, until the tune to pitbull I know you want me has gone wobbly off'. An indication that your lungs is air-deprived and your brain probably has uneven supply of oxygen that you begin to hallucinate chasing Eliza Dushku on the Bali Beach under the hot sun.

The point here is, if you are serious about getting physically fit and madly attempting to shave-off the excessive fatty chunks under your skin, well my friends, push yourself harder, further and stronger. Go beyond the norm / routines. Do it as if your life depends on it. Of course to have a better advice on the types of physical activities to trim your BOD nicely, google it. There are tonnes of them on the web. If your friends say to you, six-pax is simply achievable by doing set-ups. WRONG! You are ill advised.

You do not have to wait for people like me to tell you push yourself. God equips you with the will and the heart to persevere difficulties and sufferings including physical pain. Why do you think some people can run faster than others? Besides his training and probably steriods, he may have redefined his 'threshold of pain'. Up his game by a notch over his competitors that he may look ballistically bullet fast whilst little that we know he's also gasping for air madly (if he's a world marathon runner that is).

I suppose this applies to everything we do. We want to be different and significantly standing out amongst the best, start asking ourselves how much can we commit to push beyond the boundary of endurance. What's our threshold of pain?
