Big Dawgs
What is a Big Dawg?
I'm not entirely sure where the name came from, but a name matters not. What does matter is what we, the Big Dawgs represent - a constant search for answers to higher levels of fitness and all that it pertains to. Big Dawgs have come and gone, they come in, learn, move on and are better for it; some have come and have never left - we help one another grow through removing the personal limitations; not strong enough, not enough stamina, not belonging to a community, no reason behind the prescription.
We have high level fitness enthusiasts who strive to be better at a lot of things, not just one. We have high level thinkers who understand the connection between the body and mind. We have respect for all ideas around fitness and truly allow an area for open mindedness. We welcome all; but be prepared for discomfort, mental and physical - this allows forward momentum. Wondering what group to follow, find out more HERE

this picture reminded me about how impt the universal principle of rhythm is to our day to day; and how understanding and appreciating rhythm is key to our survival.
i'm re-reading Catching Fire right now and the rhythm piece is everywhere in relation to human development.
the sun will come up, it will go down, its a wonderful rhythm.
what small and larger circled rhythm's do you have and understand....a morning routine and a daily workout (small ones) to a monthly work/strategy meeting (moderate ones) to yearly get aways with the buds (larger ones).
these pieces are essential to creating patterns.
we are built to create comfort in patterns - to create flow and an equilibrium to these small to large rhythms.
those that lack rhythm - do you do it out of design?...fear of consistency and patterns?...afraid to lose the chaos that builds your life through drama of lack of alignment?...OR...b/c it is under your belief essential to your survival?
my thoughts are that it goes against what is and what should be - rhythm is built in us, accept it, see it, no judgement, onward.
HOLLAS!
