Are You A Zombie or the Hero?


Happy New Year! A brand new decade is upon; now is the time we let go of past regrets and hopefully remember the message of
hard learned lessons. We talk about training for the Apocalypse but let's first be clear on what a zombie really is.
Zombie (n): A zombie is a creature that appears in books and popular culture typically as a reanimated dead or a mindless human being.

People can be zombies too. Most of us do what we are told or believe facts about health, nutrition, and politics without giving it a second thought. Sheepishly following what the self-appointed experts say, we waste years doing something because we simply weren't aware there was another, and often times, better way to do it. The Zombie Apocalypse is already here-some of them are co-workers, gym members, even family members who take what is said on TV or written in print as gospel.

The key to innovation is being willing to break the rules-whether it be this way one should eat or believing that light weights at high reps is the cure-all of getting ripped; thinking outside the box often leads to great and amazing achievements. However, the price for such a journey means more hard work, increased discipline, and a willingness to take learning into your own hands rather than allowing yourself to be spoon fed information.

Be willing to break some rules-your and everyone else's, and you may find yourself being that badass that tells people how to survive instead of being the subject of a horror story told as warning for future slayers.
