You Must Workout

     Short of breath in a sweat stained rag I stumbled up the last dirt steps and looked down at Hollywood, still wholly unimpressed by my meager efforts. She rejects thousands of 10s every day left to wander the valley in search of a non-industry friend to reinspire them. But while the casting couch fits all sizes, the odds are naturally weighted to favor the fit where dating is concerned. Kate joined me a minute later unfazed by the incline, her lean physique at home with the other hikers training for their close ups.

     Short sleeves showcased her artwork. The type of art people wear who are confident they can keep up a tight canvas of skin for years to come. We enjoyed the slopes in single file solitude and after her rigid regimen wouldn't flex to accommodate lunch and a chance to get to know each other. Active lifestyle means many things depending who you ask. To some it's wandering 24 Hour Fitness in search of machines to rest on and to others it means three daily workouts and a monthly triathlon. Whatever your fitness level may be its a significant part of your lifestyle, who you attract and who you'll make time for.

     Short lived as my crush was, it forced me to recognize and accept my own PT priorities. It's easy to confuse personal goals and an inflated view of oneself for reality but lifestyle is impossible to disguise and shouldn't be. After shooting a documentary that included covering an ironman athlete through his return to the race, I was inspired to see size has little to do with the passion behind fitness. Though a person's physicality is an obvious attractor, their passion and dedication toward it or toward any priority is paramount.
