Want to have a little fun? Try this with the resident trainer at your local gym. Next time you see him, ask him how the seven different biological systems adapt to imposed demands. Ask him how those adaptations work in conjunction with the Fitness Pizza Pie to wrap up into the broader goal of achieving holistic training.

The fact is, most run of the mill trainers don’t know any of this stuff. They can hold a stopwatch and yell at you to run until you puke, but unless you find the balance between stressing every single one of your 7 bodily systems and everything else on the Fitness Pizza Pie, you’re never going to see the full potential of your strength and health.

Don’t sabotage your health and strength for any reason. You’re a much better worker and all-around person when you’re strong and healthy.
