Fitness like music 💪🎶
Rhythm in intensity,
Muscles dancing in consistency
To the patterned clank of iron.
Expansion.
Contraction.
Veins rising
As grip tightens.💪💪
Sweat breaks 💦💦
Not weakness,
But proof 🏋️💦
Sweet, purposeful pain seeps in,
Heart pounding intensely,
A drumbeat in your chest.
No pain.
No gain.
You keep grinding
Until fulfillment finds you.
Fulfillment—
In discipline.
In focus.
In your body responding
Naturally
To the rhythm of fitness.🎶💪🏋️♂️

Breathe deep, fill your lungs
expanding the chest to extend life
slowly release with lips tightly pursed
til the emptyness seems to make you gasp
eyes defocus as if emptyed of life
waiting for the next ******* in of air
when it comes they focus again
taking in the view over the vallys below
Legs give a tremour, muscles exhausted
knees requesting a seat to relieve the weight
hamstrings are tight, threatening to snap
tendons strained at the ankles, stretched just to far
and all you can think as you stand there
looking back from the direction that you came
and shaking your head unbelieving the pain
is why did I attempt to ride up this ****** hill

We do fitness on
the canal: we pedal hard --
to see the quaysides.

Stuck on blackened spikes
and under stormy seas.
“Let’s go for a hike,”
my wife said to me.
Her sliver of sunlight
breaks through my fog,
a sparkling invite
to go for a little jog.
On a bed of autumn leaves
and crisp wisps of dew
the trees us receive
while I from black withdrew.

A trained martial artist knows how to move
because that is the way he's able to groove.
He often turns quickly and looks all around
then at times jumps or leaps off the ground.
Balanced and ready to show one his skill
by these movements he is able to thrill.
You can easily get captivated by his speed
which seems so very impressive indeed.
A swift block, ****** or kick he deploys
all the measures of self defense employs.
It's amazing what a disciplined life can do
as both the body and mind will benefit too.

I knew It was coming the moment I opened the door.
The sky warned me. A distant, dull voice whispered, "You can't beat It." The sweetest sadness slowly ****** each syllable. I accepted the challenge and began to pedal. For a while, I pedaled without disturbance, except for a distant, dull sky sadly trailing behind. Watching. Waiting. Knowing.
Then It came. It took its time. It was not the one who needed to hurry. I pedaled on and felt It kiss the tip of my forehead, then lick the side of my nose, leaving me cold. I began to count the touches; one, two -pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal - three - pedal, pedal, pedal - four - pedal - five - pedal, pedal - six -pedal - seven - pedal - eight, nine, ten...
And I’m drenched.

Be fit to be useful
Be fit to be free
Be strong as you’re able
And you will then see
That fitness is serving
Each day that you live
On good days and hard days
Find something to give
Stay fit - and stay focused
With purpose to serve
No need to be perfect
Just simply observe
Stay fit to be useful
And let others know
That you’ll do what you can
To help blessings flow

They locked me away
Cause I was crazy
Said I took too many pills.
Somedays I just screamed
And cried
And forgot pay all
The bills
I lost myself trying
To survive on my own
And deal with the
Chatter in my brain
All I could remember
Were the days I tried to dull
The pain.
Angry, shattered and
All alone
I cried on the floor out loud
The day they set me free
was the day
I swore I’d make them proud.

I want to be fit,
but ****
I love
chocolate.
I want to be ripped
but ****
that donut
is so delicious.
I want to be cut
but I love the
pizza hut.
I want to be ****
but the Chinese
buffet just gets me.
I want to be healthy
and if it wasn’t for
junk food
I would be.
I got the gym **** down
it is the food that hurts me.

Drip drip,
Rivulets,
Swarming silver drops,
Like rivets on cold metal,
But you are hot.
Perspiring,
Burning,
Crazy lady runs,
Chasing her own 24 inch waist,
Fighting fat.
Lycra leotard,
Labelled,
Fashionista fitness fetish,
Wanting every eye to desire her,
Dehydrates,
Sizzles,
Drizzled,
Expires.

guess it all started
exactly a year ago
with my Instagram
I faked what I saw
just the simple asanas
like handstands and planks
but before too long
I realized the potential
for getting stronger
went from there to apps
High-Intensity workouts
designed for building
I was skeptical,
but in a few weeks I saw
a bit of a change
found new appetite
and a lot more energy
in every morning
but I soon got sore
so it was back to the 'gram
for a solution
found meditation
along with a bunch of quotes
that got me started
and next thing I knew,
it all became natural
headphones really helped
fully invested
I went all in, went balls-deep
and got rewarded
and I stopped posting
didn't matter anymore
I was addicted
work once avoided
became opportunities
to become stronger
for an hour a day
at the very least, I trained
even on off-days
for 20 minutes
I also meditated
to relax myself
I found contentment
and although i'm sore as hell,
I'm way happier
at twenty seven,
I have reached the very peak
and i'm still climbing

I will let you go
So that we can grow
Separately on our own
It hurts to pull you through my fingers
But I need them back, I’ve seeds to sew

I set my alarm for early.
“To go for a run” I say.
“I need to get fitter”
The alarm wakes you too
Your body makes it’s way towards mine
And suddenly all I care about
Is how easily I can fit,
back into your arms.

Back again to the black skin over heavy sands
Back in action at the totem effigy
Poised for fight or love
The brother/sister
I've become
Standing tall
Under weight of worlds long felled
Sleeping sheets wake, hold the bones again
From old days
Fly the knife hooks, ship and sail
Speeding, open, for the circle's end

Parched skin becomes moist
With dew drops dripping down the back of my neck
And beneath my *******
My face deepens like a ripe peach
As flesh disappears
Skin dissolves into
Nothing.
A cool exterior warms
And my body is tingling, trembling,
Buzzing like a thousand fire ants
Swarming around my thighs
My arms
My core
Encapsulated in sweat,
This shell is a temple
One that thrives on progress
I am *****
I am filthy
I am strong.

But it's not.
Most of it is in my muscles that refuse to move anymore
Deadweight, simple pain pulling like gravity is its mother
Some of it is in my burning lungs that don't understand how much I want to keep going
I don't want to die here
I don't want them to find my collapsed body with a stopwatch marking a nine minute mile
Some of it is in my broken sneakers and ripped clothes because this isn't my first show
I've been here before
I fully understand the heavyheartedness of sweat stains that scream longevity and socks that I might as well throw away
But I will see that gym tomorrow
My body will burn and burn and I will burn with it
But there's a fireproof lining around my head
Of course it's not all in my head
My head is the one thing keeping my feet hitting the ground every beat of the music
Or picking up the weights at 6 am

Now, I am not a huge man
I'm not large by any means
In fact it is surprising
I still wear normal jeans
My pants don't have elastics
I still use normal towels
But, my BMI stats tell me
I'm a word that has three vowels.
It started just this morning
When I got upon the scale
After getting back my numbers
I felt like a beached whale
Our scale is something special
Uplifitng messages it did send
Today when I stood on it
It said, is it you and your fat friend?
I thought this can't be right
I saw the numbers there
I've gained ten pounds since Christmas
But, I'm ****** if I know where
I thought that the old batteries
Just needed to be changed
But, the numbers were the same again
That **** scale is deranged
Most times I eat real healthy
No fried foods and lots of greens
But I keep on getting fatter
And I don't know what this means
I entered all my numbers
My height, and weight increase
And when my BMI was figured
It said "Son, you're obese"
Now, I do not ride a scooter
I wear an xl shirt
But seeing that word on the chart
Well, man....that really hurt
I watch shows on my tv
of people in bad shape
They weigh in at 600 pounds
And to them I am a grape.
My knees may hurt, my back is sore
But that's not from my weight
They hurt from my arthitis
Not from my rotund state
Obese, to me is something
That I swore I'd never be
It's a tag that is real hurtful
And it is one I have to see
Each time I get upon the scale
And then go to the chart
It comes up as obese each time
It really breaks my heart
Now, exercise and I are friends
We met once in the past
But we always seem have a fight
And our friendship does not last
I've tried diets that do wonders
They make the pounds fall off
But after twenty pounds of loss or so
My body starts to scoff
It says "you know you're fooling no one"
"A skinny you's just fake"
"So, come on down off the treadmill"
"And let's go get some cake"
So exercise is not for me
There must be other ways
To lose the weight that I've put on
One I can do in days!
I'm looking for a short cut
To break me from my obese rut
So, I chose Liposuction
Where they stick a tube inside my gut
They said "you are a candidtate"
Like, there was choice that had been made
I knew I had to get the weight off
If I wanted to get laid
They took me in a little room
And had me lie down on the bed
Then they put a tag on my big toe
I said "...in case I wake up dead?"
They said it was to tell them what to do
I said I way 300 pounds,
So if I know, why don't you?
They drew some lines upon my gut
and down on to my thighs
I said don't touch nothing down there
It's exactly the right size
They told me that the lines were just
To show them where to ****
Again, I thought below my waist
And I thought "just my luck"
They said a hose would **** the fat
That my body had in store
I thought, that's only so
I can fill it up with more
They said that it would hurt some
And I'd be sore and bruised
Then they showed me a few pictures
Those people looked abused
I siad, no thanks, I'm outa here
I'm gonna lose it right
I didn't put it on that quick
And I won't lose it overnight
I'll change the food I'm eating
And I'll go and walk a bit
I'll use the stairs a little more
And this time I won't quit
But, as I thought of liposuction
And that really neat machine
To own something that ***** like that
Would be so ****** keen!
Now, I'm working on my weight loss
And folks, here is the scoop
I' dropped two pound this afternoon
I just had a good ****
Just exercise some caution
If your scale says you're obese
For I'm in this fight beside you
And our weights will both decrease!

Click clack
crash
the plates are
stacked again
do they always have to
drop them?
I understand
the need to feel
the drive to express the self
so day in
day out
the iron is pumped
the veins are filled with the
blood of men turned
warriors but they leave
warriors turned men

I fell into the trap of
screaming my struggles at the
top of the roof so someone would
see me as I stepped forward to jump off.
I climbed down the ladder after hearing no one,
burned it in the fire, put on my sneakers,
and went for a run.
A little jog turned into
a mile,
then two,
then twenty five,
last one a marathon.
So many who have my past hold it
because they put me down or were
overwhelmed by my triggering words.
This is why I put down the car keys
because if I am seen crying in a car
after crashing it driving emotionally upset,
they know they did something right.
Stretching after a marathon was the destruction
of every bad memory of a bully who made their
remark into a marathon.
I was the runner
this time.
They know,
they did something
wrong and I am fierce.
I have power,
and I am
golden and
I did the
right
thing.

Yellow is what I am
happy is what I make you feel.
Use me, then throw me
and you'll trip by my peel.
I'm healthy, I'm sweet,
If in a hurry, I take seconds to eat.
All on my own, I'm a dish
but with peanut butter, I'm delic.
I'm good for your brain
I'm good for your heart
There's a reason why monkeys are smart.
