Six days to go before Sakura Asahi Kenko Marathon 2019. As part of my final phase conditioning I jogged for about an hour, and wrapped it up with one 1 K fast run at the end.
While running, I listened to a fitness lecture by Jeff Cavaliere, who used to be head physical therapist of the New York Mets. I've always been fascinated by how disciplined he is as an athletic professional, as well as his eloquence as a social media star. Today he explained in his fitness video 6 keys to effective muscle gain. Out of six one thing left me with the strongest impression. That is, exercising is not training. While both involve movement of your body, only moving your body with a purpose in mind is training. I take it to my heart, because it has an important implication to me as a language teacher. I'm going to share this new knowledge of mine with my students next time I see them, and encourage them to train, not exercise by having a clear purpose in mind of doing something if they do something.
