Putting Exercise In Perspective
Many people will look at an athlete, a bodybuilder, a
fitness trainer, or maybe just a friend who is in great
shape and think to themselves, "I would love to be as fit
as that person."

Then, as with so many things in life, the doubts begin to
creep in.

- I could never get that fit

- I couldn't look like that

- I'm too old

- They must workout for hours

- I just couldn't find the time

- People would laugh at me for trying

- It's just too hard!

While anyone will benefit internally and externally from a
regular exercise program, most of the doubts that will stop
the person from succeeding are going to center about their
belief that they will never be able to achieve the ability
to do the pure physical work involved. The person is going
to feel that they will never be physically able to do the
number of pushups, lift the amount of weight, run or walk
the distance, or meet any of what they see as the
requirements to "look like them".

The job just looks impossible for them to do.

This is where I tell you about Gina.

I used to teach people to drive trucks. You know, the
18-wheelers. Stick a 53 foot trailer behind a Peterbilt,
Kenworth, or Freightliner, and you have a vehicle nearly 70
feet long, 8 1/2 feet wide, 13' 6" high, and weighing
anywhere from about 34,000 lbs to 84,000 lbs...or more if
you're pulling certain oversize loads.

Now, when you take someone off the street who has maybe
never even touched a big truck before and put them behind
the wheel for the first few times, THEY ARE SCARED! I have
seen ex-cops and soldiers who have been in gunfights and
battles quit because they were in fear of the pure mass and
size of the truck. I knew an ex-bounty hunter who came
through our school who was terrified of the truck.

Getting past that fear is often just a matter of putting
things in perspective.

When Gina first got in the truck, she was one of those with
no previous experience, and she was scared. Her background
was wife, mother, and occasional Wal-Mart clerk.

On the first day with a student, I showed them around the
truck without a trailer (bobtail) and gave them a little
driving and shifting practice (how's YOUR double
clutching?) in a secluded training area. In fact, we had
what we called the "shift track" where we could teach
students to go through some of the 10 gears and to turn
corners. The shift track was a little bit smaller than a
football field, with stop signs at two opposing corners so
that students could learn to start from a stop and take the
truck around the corner. At the other two corners they
could practice downshifting and making the turn on the
move. If they seemed to be in control on the track, I took
them to a nearby industrial park which had very wide
corners and very little traffic and let them practice their
skills.

On the second day with a student, I took them back to the
shift track, only this time we got there AFTER I showed
them how to safely couple to a trailer and did a "demo"
drive around a few streets in the area. Then I put them in
the driver's seat, with that big ol' trailer hanging behind
them, and talked them around the track a few times.

Gina was up first.

As she pulled up to the first stop, I told her that I was
going to talk her through a left turn (which is actually
generally easier than the right turn). As she sat there,
she looked at the turning area and shook her head
emphatically, and said, "There is NO WAY this truck will
fit into that space!"

I had her pull forward, and she was obviously distressed
because she was SO CERTAIN that it was impossible to make
that 70 foot vehicle negotiate that turn. However, as she
followed my instructions while the truck moved forward at
the idle, we went thru the process of the turn from picking
the starting point, bringing the trailer around, and
closing out the turn.

Now, I won't take you step by step through the rest of her
training or even the rest of the day, but for a while, she
shook her head at every turn, still finding it hard to
believe that it was possible to put that big truck into
such a small space.

That was the perspective she had based on the lack of
experience she had with the process.

It seemed impossible.

A little over a week later, Gina had been driving a big
truck all over the Dallas area, even taking it downtown,
crossing the spot where President Kennedy had been shot,
and had cruised the Interstate and several tricky little
courses I liked to use. It was now graduation day, and
Gina and I had just returned from her last ride around the
area.

As we pulled through the gate, she asked, "Can we go over
to the shift track for a second?"

I agreed, not knowing what was up.

Gina pulled the truck up to the first stop sign where I had
showed her how to make a turn. She sat there for a moment,
staring at the turn, and then she began to shake her head
slowly, almost the same way she had that first day.

For a moment, I was afraid that Gina, who had definitely
had a hard time in the training, had gone back to day one
and was thinking that this was all just too much.

However, after a moment she turned to me, and in almost
exactly the same tones she had used previously when she was
convinced the turn was impossible, she said, "There is SO
MUCH SPACE out there! That area is HUGE! I cannot believe
it ever seemed so small!"

Gina was not the first to have those same reactions. I saw
that many times. As a noncommissioned officer in the U. S.
Army, I often had to show younger, less experienced
soldiers things that they did not think would work, or that
they would not be able to do. A few weeks later, they were
usually showing other, newer soldiers the same things as if
they had been doing them all their lives.

BACK TO THE SUBJECT OF EXERCISE AND FITNESS

Exercise is really just another set of skills used to
achieve fitness. Like any skill, at first it seems
difficult, perhaps even impossible to those who have not
been doing it. Like any skill, the person learning has to
start small and perhaps take baby steps...steps that might
not look anything like what the pros are doing, and steps
that will not immediately produce the results that we see
in accomplished and experienced bodybuilders or other
fitness professionals who have been at this for a while.

Like any other skill, progress will be based on the
opportunity to practice, the willingness to commit to the
program, and, in the case of exercise and fitness, the
genetic makeup of the individual. Just like there are good
musicians and great musicians or good truck drivers and
great truck drivers, it will be a combination of these and
other factors which will determine the ultimate outcome.

Not every exerciser, no matter how dedicated, will become
an Arnold Schwarzenegger or Cory Everson, but every
dedicated exerciser WILL experience the benefits of better
health, reduced risk of many major and minor health
conditions, and increased ability to enjoy life to the
fullest if they DO commit themselves to a lifestyle of
regular moderate exercise and healthy eating habits.

Nobody feels surprised when they start a new job and feel
like a "newbie". However, we all know that after a period
of training, experience, and mistakes we will eventually
reach a point where we look and feel like an old pro.
Fitness is no exception.

Put exercise in perspective and begin the path to fitness
and health today.
