Not for everyone but maybe for the average person. Health is largely based on your genetics. If you have shitty genetics with hereditary diseases in your family then you're pretty much fucked. Technology and medicine is slowly overcoming that though.



Hi

Where the hell have you been man

ah, the loser's excuse. if you care to continue this discussion, we can and i'll prove you wrong. the only limits you have are the ones you place on yourself.

Same place as always, just not on JSP

I think I'm back now though.

Excuse? Go tell that to the people dying from different diseases that they were born with. Just like the guy in your sig, died early from a bad heart condition. Young people drop dead all the time from having unknown heart defects that they were born with. It has nothing to do with an excuse.

It's like saying someone with cancer is just a loser with an excuse and they put limits on themselves.

Well welcome back

okay, you spoke about genetics and getting fit. if someone has cancer, they have cancer. if someone's family is "predisposed" to obesity, that's a pitiful excuse. i'm talking about people being lazy and sticking to what they're told, believing what others say. more people need to go against the fucking grain.

notes:

Arthur Boorman was a disabled veteran of the Gulf War for 15 years, and was told by his doctors that he would never be able to walk on his own, ever again.

He stumbled upon an article about Diamond Dallas Page doing Yoga and decided to give it a try -- he couldn't do traditional, higher impact exercise, so he tried DDP YOGA and sent an email to Dallas telling him his story.

Dallas was so moved by his story, he began emailing and speaking on the phone with Arthur throughout his journey - he encouraged Arthur to keep going and to believe that anything was possible. Even though doctors told him walking would never happen, Arthur was persistent. He fell many times, but kept going.

Arthur was getting stronger rapidly, and he was losing weight at an incredible rate! Because of DDP's specialized workout, he gained tremendous balance and flexibility -- which gave him hope that maybe someday, he'd be able to walk again.

His story is proof, that we cannot place limits on what we are capable of doing, because we often do not know our own potential. Niether Arthur, nor Dallas knew what he would go on to accomplish, but this video speaks for itself. In less than a year, Arthur completely transformed his life. If only he had known what he was capable of, 15 years earlier.

Do not waste any time thinking you are stuck - you can take control over your life, and change it faster than you might think.

Hopefully this story can inspire you to follow your dreams - whatever they may be.
Anything is Possible!

Thanks bro.

When I was talking about things being hereditary, I was not including obesity, because that IS just an excuse. I was talking about much more serious diseases. Autoimmune disorders and whatnot.

Of course you can post a story about a guy who was told that he would never walk again and then he does walk again. That's not the norm though, it's an exception. For every person that walked after being told they couldn't, how many do you think really couldn't ever walk? A LOT more.

In the end, some things are simply out of our control no matter how hard we try and want it. If you think otherwise then you're just naive imo.
