I have a question for all of you out there. What is your Yoga? Now I realize that this question may puzzle some of you. We will break it down.
The Merriam Webster definition of yoga, is - a system of exercises for mental and physical health.
What is your system of exercises for mental and physical health?
What keeps you sane in this insane world?
How do you keep focused on achieving the heights of life that the average never see?
Passion is a marvelous thing. To be swept up by an idea and take another step toward your potential self.
My yoga is through bodily development.
Everyday I wake up and work, move, meditate, and feed my body. I feel a connection and fulfillment in developing bodily health. I am energized from this.
I work hard, push my body to the end of each set.
Sticking with it for the years that I have, there is visible and mental improvement.
One concept that can really be gleaned from working your body is that through pain there is success.
Let that sink in.
Through pain is success.
The idea that pain can mean success or accomplishment can translate outward. This concept echos through my all my endeavors.
If you want fulfillment, get out there and find your yoga. Your yoga may not be through bodily development,
for some it can be
music
writing
cooking
etc
Its a foundation to yourself. Your personal desire and focus exclusive to yourself.
If you have a yoga please comment it!

Arnold the Education of a Bodybuilder (Book Review)
A look into the mind of possibly the
greatest bodybuilder that ever lived. Arnold Schwarzenegger. This man chose
what it is he wanted to do, and seized it without looking back. In his autobiography
Schwarzenegger gives his readers a taste for what it took to attain the heights
of bodybuilding and also how to develop a herculean physique.
Schwarzenegger had very humble beginnings,
originating in Austria. His journey through bodybuilding began one summer when
he was fifteen years old, “a magical season for me because that year I
discovered exactly what I wanted to do with my life.” (pg.13) He was introduced
to the sport by experienced bodybuilders. They took him under their wing and he
grew. Schwarzenegger learned from them to lift weights properly, and to
understand that growth meant pain. Starting slower, he began three days a week
at the gym lifting weights. Progressing to a full time schedule, going every
day. The sport of bodybuilding was just on the rise at his beginning.
Schwarzenegger though was considered crazy for starting in a sport that was so
small. His parents could not understand his infatuation with the sport. For
Schwarzenegger, it was an enthralling sport. He kept his eyes one the goal of
becoming the best bodybuilder of the entire world. Which he did achieve in the
years forward. One can gather from reading Arnold Schwarzenegger’s
autobiography, what it takes to attain something you want in life. Through
Schwarzenegger, he lived and breathed his passion –-bodybuilding—. He sets an
example for the world, that one can choose something and become the greatest at
it.
The second part of Schwarzenegger’s
book is comprised of workouts and exercises. In this portion he lays down the principles
for building a great physique. He first recommends if, the reader is new to the
sport to work solely on body-weight exercises to build a foundation. From there
he gives the reader direction in the weight room. He stresses exercise from
over quantity provides the reader with a solid well-reasoned explanation for
each of the different aspects of bodybuilding. Schwarzenegger also goes in the
diet and routines that can be used to attain a herculean body. Some things that
this book provides that I have implemented in my personal workout routine are
focus on form in the gym, weak points in physique, extra exercises that develop
muscles overlooked, reasons to do certain exercises and working the calves, forearms
and abdominals every day.
From this book one can gain the
knowledge of what it takes to become a bodybuilder and what it takes to become
a master at something. If simply you would like to gain the knowledge to build
a healthier lifestyle or become better at sports, Schwarzenegger provides a
pathway for the readers. This book appeals to those who want more from life.

Things the book has changed for me.
I have been working out since I was 12 years old and still
do consistently. I never squatted or deadlifted in my entire time training. I
was missing some of the most important exercises known to man. I have since
added these exercise to my regimen and after two weeks and already beginning to
notice increases in strength and muscle growth. I will also say that nothing
feels as good as lifting that shiny metal bar on to my shoulders feeling all my
muscles strain and sweat dripping from my pores as I perform my daily ritual,
feeling all the fibers contract and pain from the growth.
Not only has this book changed my perspectives on strength
training but made the logical case for taking supplements to enhance my workout
regime, including
And more.
The nutritional chapters of this book also provide and
stress the importance of food. Osborne goes into explaining what food actually
is. Osborne goes into the fine details of what define carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Further he equips the reader with the knowledge to discern what is good and bad
foods, how much to eat, what to eat, and addresses the negative myths about
