A funny thing... "Healthier, stronger people."

[Patrick Donnelly]

Lately, I've noticed that whenever I'm talking with people about fitness, I end up pairing the words "health" and "strength" a lot, like in the thread title. There are a lot of words that are often paired in the fitness industry: "weights and cardio," "strength and conditioning," "health and fitness," "slimming and toning," etc.

It's time that "health and strength" gets on that list.


Just thought it'd be nice to share.

[Derek Weaver]

That's a good, and I think overlooked point.

And oddly enough, I received an email today where someone said this:

Training he doesn't need, but he does need to get his hands on some missing Strength & Health articles for a book he is writing. Last word (which goes slowly because he communicates almost entirely by US mail) he was not able to get them through Hinbern. Any chance that a guy that who is bizarre enough to train the bent press also has a collection of S&H? Let me know if you do.

[emphasis mine]

So, apparently, there was a bimonthly magazine that went by that title, from what seems to be the 1940's to 1970's, though that may be wrong. I did a brief search online and found references to at least those decades.

Talk about coincidences.

Lots of Coincidences going around these days.

I don't like it when people imply, even in an off-hand, incidental, or accidental way, that I'm a liar.

[Kevin Perry]

I'm confused, who is calling you a liar?

[George Mounce]

Probably someone who didn't post. I agree with you Patrick, strong and healthy are too words that should be going together. Too often people think marathon runners and Tour De France riders (yes I used them as an example) are healthy. They aren't. They are insane.
