So, this post is specifically for the guys out there.? A friend recently forwarded me a great post from a website called The Art of Manliness (www.artofmanliness.com) that deals with fitness and why men should take a fresh look at it.? It’s called “8 Reasons You Need to Rediscover Your Passion for Exercise” and it’s definitely worth a read.? In this day and age of manicured men and their shallow, vanity-fueled quest for 6-pack abs (a term I never need to hear again, but will) this is a deeper, more meaningful, more masculine perspective on fitness.

And, when I say “masculine” I’m not saying “macho.”? I don’t consider bullying, abuse and misogyny to be masculine.? Masculinity, in it’s original, untainted form, is honorable, principled and noble (think Knights of the Round Table….except for the whole Lancelot sleeping with King Arthur’s wife thing).

Guys, give this a read:

And, while you’re at it, read some of the other articles there as well, and rediscover masculinity as it once was and hopefully will be again.
