Not a WOD Post

Just read this and got to thinking. Sounds like us. (BrandX Message Board)

This may sound rude, but I have to be honest. I took my teenage son and some of his buddies to see "300" last week. On the way home, they were talking about how impressive the actors' physiques were: cut, fit, they mentioned 12-pack abs. My comment to them was, I'm not impressed by someone who has a personal trainer barking at them and a personal chef cooking for them and gets paid to work hard and can write off said expenses. What impresses me is the guy or gal who goes to work all day or cares for kids and a home all day and then shows up at the gym, tired from the stress and demands of the day, and still kicks the crap out of workouts like these. Our men & women do workouts like these all the time-all year long, not for a brief period of time to facilitate a huge salary and media attention. Our men & women do it because they should, because they can, and because they can't help but do it. It becomes part of who they are.
