The Body

Introduction Continuation.

The body.
Our bodies are magnificent machines built to adapt, to grow, and assimilate or overcome. We are the king of the food chain because of these, but lately man has put his feet up and let his skin grow soft, and instead of braving the sun and running to hunt food, he sits in his office chair under fluorescent lights hungry after his 600 calorie burger.

In the information age, our job market is valued with knowledge. Men usually workout to look pretty just like the women these days, or to impress said ladies, and don't leave the confines of the sweat box they pay monthly membership for.

What about the inner beast that comes out in a fight? What about the feeling of flight when you run so fast everything is a blur? What about the feeling of making something with your bare hands?

These are things that are becoming anomalies in skyscrapered cities and formulaic suburbia. So my call that issue here is to Bare it All, and discover a new part of what nature has given you. The body you are easily capable of, and the vigor it brings.

It is as simple taking off your shoes.
