BREVITY IS THE SOUL OF FIT




In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Polonius says that "brevity is the soul of wit." That's a 14th-century way of saying that intelligent people should be able to convey their thoughts as briefly as possible. (Ironically, brevity is not Polonius' strong suit.) So why am I quoting Shakespeare on my fitness blog? Well, I'm simply using the immortal bard's words to explain why I've decided to shorten my posts. According to my well-paid team of blogging experts, a good post should be short and sweet. Readers want succinct, well-written, easily digestible content so they can pop in, read up, and move on. (By the way, if you don't believe that I have a team of well-paid blogging experts, you're right. However, I DO occasionally get advice from a very successful local blogger who has almost TWO DOZEN regular readers, which is more than my blog and the Fresno Bee combined.) In order to maintain my new commitment to brevity, I must soon end today's post. But before I do, I need to provide a useful fitness tip for my readers, so here it is: If you're looking for a certified personal trainer who's dedicated to helping you achieve your fitness goals, call me at (559) 871-1658. (Was that brief enough for ya?)
