Yeah, I now, I’ve remained fairly quiet as of late, and there’s a very good reason for that. Many of them actually. For one thing, my current laptop, the faulty bucket of bolts barely held together by duck tape that I bought from Dell back in January of 2018 is finally dying a slow and agonizing death. Thankfully, however, I’ll be able to replace it in April, which I will be doing by obtaining a Mac Air laptop. Finally, I’ll have a fully accessible laptop after all of these years banging my head against a wall trying to make the various Dell computers I either get talked into or forced into buying and using. 

Anyway, that’s not the reason for this post. Pardon me as I digress my sorry blind ass, hardcore style. 

So yeah, I know I’m already neck deep in like six different training programs from various religious organizations (Arn Draiochet Fein, The Troth, Hellenion, Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids just to name the major ones), but I decided due to ongoing interesting developments and shenanigans involving a couple of Netjeru to dive straight into the current beginner class for Kemetic Orthodoxy.  The only thing I’ll say about the other training programs I’m in is that thankfully they allow you years to complete if need be.

The word "fitness" is thrown around a great deal. Every gym, martial arts school, aerobics instructor, personal trainer and even your mailman probably have their own opinions on what it means. The truth is, before you can say that someone is fit you have to identify what exactly they are fit for.

The way that a person trains will dictate what that person is in condition for, or in other words what they are fit to do. A marathon runner could do 1000 push-ups with a cow strapped to their back - but how would that make them fit or conditioned for a marathon?

Though it may seem like common sense, many people miss the forest for the trees when it comes to defining what fitness means. Everything you do is training. Everything! Everything that you do produces a training effect, regardless of how you value that effect. A person who goes to work, sits behind a computer, comes home and clicks on the TV is fit. They have conditioned their body so that it is in the best possible state to sit on the couch or to slump over the computer screen. Their daily grind has caused a training effect. While we would all agree that this effect is not desirable, have no illusions that couch potatoes are fit. They are fit for the task that they have prepared themselves for.

When people misunderstand what fitness is, it creates a problem. Often they unintentionally walk into a situation where a workout is challenging, and they walk out believing that they must be "out of shape" because the workout wore them out. They aren’t in shape -- not for that particular workout.

You can view your training program as an end unto itself. People do this all the time. They end up training to train. They work out to improve their performance in their workout. If that's your thing more power to you. Be aware, though, that the adaptations your body is making are specific to your training and will not necessarily cross over to another venue. The body responds very specifically to the demands placed upon it (SAID Principle).

The activity that you want to be fit for should determine your training regime. When the 400 pound strongman fails to press the 800 pound barbell for the 10th time, he never says "I wish I would have done more running". Likewise, the marathon runner who is narrowly beaten at the last second never says "If only I would've spent more time on the bench press".

As mentioned above, fitness means nothing without first defining what it is that we need or want to be fit for. An exercise is only as good as the results that it produces and how directly those results apply to the attributes or skills of your chosen endeavor.

So... how "fit" are you?

good luck with the beginner's class and I'm always free if you have questions! I just started the ADF dedicant program so I feel this post a lot haha!

Thank you very much for your kind words and offer of support. I’m not entirely sure what I’m getting myself into here, but that’s alright, as it’s by no means the first time I’ve found myself in this kind of situation, and it almost always turns out for the best. I know already that if I make it past the beginner’s class, I won’t ever be going past the first kind of member within Kemetic Orthodoxy as I already hold an oath with a deity, Brighid specifically, where I put her first before any other deity, and that oath is life long. The main reason I joined Kemetic Orthodoxy, outside of community, is for the structure. I’m one of those people who need to know where the box is and it’s entire layout before I even think of coloring or drawing outside the lines, if that makes any sense.

I admit to having a couple of misgivings or feelings of not entirely sure if this will work out. For example, I’m very much a hard Polytheist kind of Pagan, and I just flat out don’t believe in the kind of Soft Polytheism or it’s flavor being discussed. I’m not sure if that will hinder my progress through the beginner’s class or not, but I guess we’ll see how it goes. 

I wish you the best of luck working through the Dedicant’s Path too! I need to finish my own work with it actually. It’s a right pain in the ass for sure, but it’s manitory to get to the rest of the training programs within ADF. My main issue at the moment is finding a replacement book for the modern Paganism essay, as I recently found out that the author of the book I wanted to read and review is most likely a TERF, which is extremely disapointing and disgusting if true.
