THE HUNT IS ON!

Oh, how are lives have become so easy!

Yes, easy!

Modern day stress is not linked to our anthropological roots.

Our fight or flight responses are now switched on in work, driving and what ever else people have to complain about or be offended by.

Not in fear of being eaten by a mountain lion anymore while out looking for food to survive, we are cocooned in air conditioned safety down at the local super market surrounded by food that has more air miles than most of us.

Let me bring you back in time, a time where we hunted and gathered our food.

A period of human existence where searching for food was more physically demanding than wrestling a shopping trolley down aisles.

A period of time that equates to 99% of human existence.

Cambridge University carried out a study comparing the bones of our ancestors to those of today's modern human beings.

Our bones have grown weaker since farming was invented!

Scientists claim if these hunter gatherers were to cross our paths, our ancestors would have been capable of outrunning some of the world’s most talented athletes.

We’re certainly weaker than we used to be  

Where are the physical demands of survival gone?

We have none!

This is why I believe we need to have moments in our lives where we push ourselves to the boundaries of our limits.

Weekly moments, not brief moments.

Workouts where you experience an inner monologue of quit, this is too hard, it hurts, I can't.

Workouts that evoke an emotional response, maybe not always positive during, but an overwhelming sense of accomplishment after.

Because life is too easy.

When you truly experience what is hard to do, your old perception of what is hard, becomes a lot easier.

The hunt is on!
