My good friend, Peter, always chastized me and would say, stop being funny, this is serious business Dave!

This is serious business.
Yeah. I used to hear that a lot from my, uh, old buddy from New York, Peter.
And I'd be doing something and I tend to be a little bit irreverent and share a lot ...
and not just in classes,
but just life in general.
Sometimes I'd be working on some project or other and Peter would stop and say,
Dave, this is serious business.
You need to knock that off.
So we would go back and forth and...
I read an article the other day and it was published on April 1st.
I don't know if the guy was serious or not.
This is a guy I collaborate with
he's been doing fitness for 40 years and I've been doing it for 15
and we go back and forth a lot.
We've both helped a lot of people.
We feed off each other a lot.
He wrote a big article that he published on April 1st.
So I'm kind of hoping it was an April fools
about anybody who tells you that fitness can be fun
is lying to you because fitness is a grueling, hard business
and if he is serious
him and I part ways on this one.
Still he's amazing
He's done some amazing things
But his theory was that for fitness to be effective
you have to be serious and focused and do things right.
Well, to me, fitness is about motion
and movement and feeling better
and getting yourself in that spot where everything is just...
I call it yummy.
Everything is yummy.
You're moving well,
you're feeling better,
you're 70 years old
and you embrace life
and you love the world
because guess what?
You move better than you did at 40 or 50.
To me, that's what fitness is all about.
It's not about getting that ripped bod and posing in front of mirrors.
Good God.
You know, if that's what you're into,
awesome.
But if you just want to be fit and healthy,
you can have some fun.
I guarantee you.
And don't worry.
I am not going to turn our classes into a serious business.
I'm not going to turn our podcasts into too serious of a business.
They're serious matters we discuss,
but you might as well have fun while we're discussing them.
And that's today's message.
Let's have some fun
and get fit together.
Move well,
stay healthy,
be happy.
Live every single day with a purpose and find your passion.
