The Value of Fitness Information

Working in the fitness industry inspires me daily.  Most of my inspiration comes from the experiences I have with my clients.  Breakthroughs and success fill me with confidence and push my passions forward.  I must admit, though, that I am not always excited about how the fitness industry expresses itself.

Earlier today I wrote on my Pearman Fitness Facebook Page:

"Information isn't Education until you apply it."

So what did I mean?

This morning I asked myself, "Why do you become so cranky at times with Fitness?" Instantly, two words popped up: Information and Education.  But why?  I began thinking about the differences of the two words in the Fitness Industry and BINGO! Education inspires me and Information, at times, bores me.  

Now lets not dog Information, totally.  Information can also be a great step forward in learning and growing.  The problem lies in the value of the information.  It can be priceless or worthless.  And the value of the information is only truly known when we cash it in.  This is what I meant when I said that Information isn't Education until you apply it.

There is a constant NOISE that inundates our senses daily.  And we can't simply turn it off.  Our best chance is to grab what we like, wrangle it in, apply it to our lives, and decide on our own it's true value.  Move information through the filter of your life and become educated.
