Real Fitness Is Like Bingo!!

The other day in our trainer meeting one of our trainers had this great concept about what true fitness is. He said it's a lot alike the game BINGO. He compared different components of fitness to letters on a BINGO card and the goal is to fill out each letter until you have a complete "BINGO."

B-12 could be being able to run 5K, I-23 could be the ability to deadlift 100 pounds, N-4 could be the ability to hold a yoga pose. I think you get the point. Most people keep doing only what they are good at or what feels comfortable to them so they only really have a couple letters of "BINGO" covered.

In today's world true fitness isn't one dimensional. It's about being versatile and about having ability in multiple areas instead of just one or two. I used to be all about weights. All I cared about was how much I could lift and how big I could get. Now I can run 10 miles, mountain bike, hold yoga poses and I still am able to lift respectable weight. More importantly, I feel much better and from what people tell me I look better. No more musclehead looks AND I can see my neck again!

What letter do you need to cover on your BINGO form?
