The Dark Knight Rises by DiegoWho

For today’s post I want to express a different tone and steer a little off the normal path in terms of getting my message across. Today’s post is about overcoming adversity. I sincerely hope that today’s post will leave you with a positive mindset and serve as a catalyst for you to overcome whatever adversity you may be facing in your life. Yeah, I know this isn’t quite the usual message, but it does fit into the context of strength and that can carry over into your day to day pursuit of fitness, as well as any other part of your life for that matter.

Ok maybe I’m going a bit overboard here, but I like to think that at least on some small level I can relate to Bruce Willis’s character John McClane in the movie Die Hard.

By the way this is a true iconic action flick if you haven’t seen it. I strongly suggest you do make time for this one if you are a fan of action heroes that like to dish out some serious ass kickings on their villain counterparts with some unforgettable style. Anyways, keep on reading if you want to see where I’m going with this.

Cup of Coffee by fhansenphoto

Are you like me first thing in the morning by the fact that if you don’t get your coffee do you immediately transform into a Grizzly bear and savagely destroy anything in your path to get to that first cup? Ok, maybe it’s not that bad, but if you are a coffee junkie then you know where I’m coming from. So what about that funky word Ergogenic Aid you read in the title?
