Ropes...

I've just returned from an excellent time in Warsaw, Poland, training a group organised by Artur Krol in IEMT. Whilst over there I realised something about how I perceived things as a child. In PE at school, as mentioned previously, I had great difficulty in climbing the ropes. I lacked the strength to pull myself up.

As a child it never occured to me that strength could be increased with exercise. I simply accepted that I wasn't able to climb the ropes and maybe I would be able to as I got bigger. I never made the connection between exercise and body size, shape or strength. Nor did I ever make a connection between what I ate and my body size, etc.

Young anorexics realise this very early. So do the bulimics. And so did the sporty kids who would show off their muscles in the playground.

So, this has led to me wondering about those kids and subsequent adults with weight issues.

Maybe, like myself, they simply don't make the connection.
