An interesting question, which frequently is brought up amongst friends, is  how far someone can push their body if life changing money is on the line. Could you walk 10 miles home from your friends house? Would you be willing to try and walk 20 miles after sushi and Saki bombs, if you were to receive $20,000.00, for walking the 20 miles? People are so quick to say how they would be able to do this, that, that and this. However, 99/100 people would not be able to walk 20 miles after sushi and Saki, no matter how much money is on the line. In the same breath, there are some brave, fearless souls, that have the power to overcome virtually impassible hurdles by personifying the phrase, “mind over matter.”

Through the consistent and effective use of home fitness equipment we can increase our strength, speed, endurance, and flexibility, but there are still certain limits that we will not be able to surpass, no matter how long we train on our Precor EFX 5.17, or Life Fitness 95Ti. For example, Jesse Kofman is 30 years old and runs 40yd dash in 5.4 seconds. If Jesse exercises and runs everyday for a year, on his Star Trac Pro treadmill, the result will be that he would be able to run approximately a 4.9 second 40yd dash. No matter how hard Jesse tries, he will never be able to run a 4.2 second 40yd dash.
