What’s up Hulksters!
I’m just here in the lobby of the crowne plaza hotel in Minnesota waiting on my shuttle to take me back to good ol’ California. Aside from a fierce bout of hunger, I’m also sitting here with the excitement of what I imagine it would have to feel like to win a superbowl. Or world series. Or NBA championship. Or Stanley cup. Or…
You get it.
The point is, when you win something so monumental, it’s not by chance. You hoist that trophy high with the memories of the hard work put behind it and an appreciation for your success unparalleled to any words you could ever come up with.
These last 3 days, I’ve hoisted that trophy high with 25+ individuals who are ready to lead a fitness rebellion.
Hulk, that’s you.
The point of the rebellion is to reach out to those who need a hand but just don’t know it. Who feel the perception of health and happiness is something that “just doesn’t work for them.” Who feel like to change habits that aren’t working for you is harder to do than just settling for mediocrity or worse.
Hulk, those are the people you already reach out to! I want all of you to remember when you joined Hulk… How’d you feel? We’re you scared? Intimidated? Anxious? Certain you were going to go home in a body cast? How’d that work out for ya?
Point is, the reason were so magical is we all have been that individual who feels like hope is lost. Who feels that the life you’ve dreamed of is just that… A dream. That unreal and slave-like obsessions with calories, working out, and misery are what it takes to be “healthy” and that there isn’t a snowballs chance in hell you’ll ever be able to stick to something that insane.
Let’s rebel against all that bullshit. The fitness rebellion is a slap in the face to those who believe all of the above and more. It’s a chance to reach out to EVERYONE saying yeah, working out sucks… But being miserable sucks more.
Knowing you’re not living life to your full potential sucks more.
Waiting for “better” to be handed to you on a nonexistent silver platter sucks more.
Spectating and NOT participating sucks more.
You know the saying the grass is always greener on the other side? That phrase can go to hell. I found out that when you water your grass, give it proper nutrients, and love it the way a living organism needs to be loved well… I’ll be damned if I don’t have the greenest grass on the block.
Im now waiting at the airport for my flight to los Angeles. All I’m thinking about Hulksters are the rebel yells were going to scream at the top of our beautifully functioning lungs as we embrace this opportunity to water some lawns.
Are you ready?
– Hulk
