Hello Friends,
Styles of exercise and nutrition will never be useful to everyone, because they derive from individual perspectives. One person’s gold is another’s garbage. Most people create drama by bragging about their gold, or attacking someone else’s garbage.
Most misunderstand the difference between styles and systems: a style is a single perspective, like standing on a map and looking at a distant horizon; a system is a globe that can be spun to find the most efficient path for any individual on it.
There are multiple perspectives on problem-solving; some solve one aspect, others – another. It’s impossible to solve them simultaneously if you only view it from a single style.
Only a system can customize the vantage point to view the changing landscape of a diverse population.
There are good systems out there, but people, fixated with their current problem, mistake them for styles.
Ask: is it modular, progressive, transportable, customizable, adaptable and scalable? Does it qualify your form and give you tools to use a level appropriate to you? Does it require you to track your physiological responses to exercise, and not merely the data of your performance output? Does it require your personal feedback before you know how to continue?
If you answer “yes” to all of those, it’s likely to be a system, and not merely a style.
Very Respectfully,
Scott B. Sonnon
