the kitchen

Your body is like a kitchen. Lets say you clean your kitchen once really super well. it looks great, but then as the week goes by, you don't touch anything. by the time its a week later, the kitchen is trashed. Now imagine that you clean up the crumbs after your self, you do the dishes one day, and throughout the week you wipe down the counters. By the time the next week comes, your kitchen is not destroyed. Its like this with a rounded out workout program. if you don't do your dishes, your kitchen is nasty. if you don't do your cardio, wts, stretching and keep your fridge clean (aka nutrition) your body wont be healthy. just one of these things alone won't work. wooo let's go do some wts

I was trying to explain that a workout has to be hard to be any good, and I was thinking about it... if everyone could be buff without trying hard, well then there would be buff couch potatoes. Hot couch potatoes... why they'd be HOT POTATOES
