When I busted my back the doctors said I would possibly never work again.
I had to use a walking frame with wheels and sleds to move around the hospital.
Weights were the last thing on my mind.
Gradually I was able to walk a few steps, then around the house, then around the yard, then around the playing field.
It took about 6 months of walking in agony to overcome my injury.
Traction and other forms of popular voodoo just made me worse.
The doctors always told me not to do so much.......
BUT
The same doctors wanted to cut me open, remove my discs and fuze my vertebra together and screw rods into my back.
In the end these same doctors do their cutting and send you away to heal.
How do we actually heal and recover? ON OUR OWN
I refused to let them at me. Contrary to all medical advice I went home from hospital just wanting to be able to walk. No operation.
To me walking and forcing myself to be functional and mobile again was more beneficial than all the specialists, doctors and experts combined.
Walking is the most biomechanically natural action we humans can do.
I hope none of you ever find yourself learning to walk again.
Walking is magic for mending as well.
My back still has issues but only when I get lazy and stop walking for a few weeks.
Thanks Fadi

Strange, silly, don't believe me? Ok then, time to answer me some questions:
1. Is testosterone anabolic?----------------------------------------------------------Yes!
2. Is testosterone anti-catabolic?-----------------------------------------------------Don't know what you mean!
3. Is cortisol catabolic?---------------------------------------------------------------Yes!
4. Is walking as in the above photo stressful?-----------------------------------------No!
5. Is walking relaxing?---------------------------------------------------------------Yes!
6. Does walking clear your head and put you in a good mood?-------------------------Yes!
7. Is cortisol a stress hormone?-------------------------------------------------------Yes!
8. The answer for #2 is yes; testosterone is anti-catabolic. That means it's anti-cortisol.
9. Now, what can you deduce from the above as to the effect walking would have on your hormone balance? Would it be anabolic, anti-catabolic, or both?
10. It would be anti-catabolic. Bingo! Now read answer #8 above and give me a smile! Have a wonderful and powerful day!
