Hard work is made easier by tangible reward. But, to most of us, tangible reward for our strain is often unachievable. We find that all of our hard work has yielded nothing within the known world. / "Sometimes, we outsource that which we value because we don’t know that the value is in the effort not the product." -Mark Twight / "The Hero is the champion of things becoming, not of things become, because he is." Extract from the book: A Hero with a thousand faces By Joseph Campbell / Do not shy away from the labour of your destiny. There will be many victories and failures that we may savour, we will slay ourselves again and again. But the journey is a never ending cosmogonic cycle of victories and defeats, each serving its own purpose. / “The highest reward for man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it.” —John Ruskin / Ignore empty words, they cannot, and should not change you. Find value in your becoming, find the joy in your labour, regardless of the outcome. It is the becoming that we celebrate, not the trophy. • • • #utb #utbstory #underthebarteam #underthebar #weareallthesame #fit #fitness #gymnastics #fitlife #morethanfitness #notjustfit #fitnessmotivation #gym #gymmotivation #life #follow #like #photooftheday #calisthenics #streetworkout #motivation #philosophy #selfdisovery #southafrica #crossfit #crossfitmotivation #mythology #philosophy #writer #becoming https://www.instagram.com/p/B4yjxh7hHI0/?igshid=astcapqgb58q

"Meaningful achievement takes time, hard work, persistence, patience, and constant self-awareness. The path to such success is punctuated by failure, consolidation and renewed effort - usually made by a different person than who first walked through the door. We change in order to become, and we are changed through that becoming." Mark Twight #UndertheBar #fitness #photography https://www.instagram.com/p/CN_05i8liYD/?igshid=2sqwmva3dbnk

Functional fitness. Generally seen as dynamic, and a break away from the more traditional lifts or movements. Something which involves either power, strength, mobility, endurance, or all of the above. Some uninformed individuals might refer to these as 'CrossFit-like' movements. The question remains as to the function of these movements? Possessing the ability to move an artificial object in an artificial space serves no purpose in the 'real world'. Completely ignoring the physical benefits of training, does even the simpliest movement; like a push-up, serve any true function? Which leads to the question; what is the function of fitness? A question each person should answer for themselves. / / I had a good conversation with one of the trainers @mpg_bfn (@kailz9_mpg). She explained that the idea of 'functional fitness', is to be functional for fitness. As in, have the ability to move and train with less restriction. Perhaps becoming more functional for fitness, could aid us in understanding the function of fitness? #UndertheBar #FunctionalFitness #fitness (at The Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFHeGmflU3d/?igshid=aru9j377njho
