Читать книгу Solitary Fitness - You Don't Need a Fancy Gym or Expensive Gear to be as Fit as Me - Charles Bronson - Страница 24

I see the human body as a machine. Feed it, look after it, clean it inside and out … Most of all, believe in it and it will respond every time. But like a machine it has an engine and, if you abuse it and push it too hard, you’ll blow it up – ‘BANG!’ To me, that’s logical. I can’t see the point in steroids and pills coz in the end it’s the heart that suffers. Lose the heart and you lose the centre of the machine, it’s over!

Once you get to the peak of fitness and strength, it’s your duty to maintain it. But don’t maintain it with moans and groans; do it with pride and respect! You have to enjoy what you do, otherwise why do it? We can all be fat, lazy bastards, it’s our choice! I’m sick of hearing and reading about excuses: if you stuff your face with shit, you become shit – that’s logical to me! Eat and drink in moderation, but if you’re like me you can eat what you like in moderation, how much you like and turn it into power, muscle and energy. In my book, there’s no excuse, unless it’s a serious medical problem you’ve got. And then that’s just bad luck; it can’t be helped.

I can’t really help or advise on a medical problem as I’m not qualified. I can only say, ‘Try.’ If you’re crippled and can’t use your legs, then use your arms instead; find a way. If I lost my arms and legs, I’d learn to use my teeth. I do feel for cripples, I really do. Hey, I’ve seen some of these guys and girls in sports and they are wicked! Have you seen them in the wheelchairs racing around, doing marathons? With one of them chairs you wouldn’t need a getaway car! They put a lot of able-bodied people to shame, that I love to see! Respect!

A lady friend of mine is paralysed from the mid-section down but she recently did a sky dive! Magic or what?
