    Such a wonderful metaphor..as someone who has been blogging for over a year. I’m just starting to get to the point where the motivation is lacking. But just as the body begins to slow down, you’ve gotta find the strength to just limber up and get moving..

      Yup. Thanks for the comment Melody. Think of it as surviving. If you don’t eat food you will eventually die. If you don’t feed your blog with posts, it will also eventually die.

    Another good post here, i try and and publish a post everyday, but sometimes you need to rest, like a bodybuilder you need time to recover and rest, you sometimes need to sit back and review your exercises and maybe try something new, a new machine perhaps, like blogging you might need to try different techniques to drive traffic, like joining blogengage.com for one, posting to stumble upon and using other social networking sites.

    you can spend a lot of time social networking as much as you do blogging perhaps like eating the correct food, there is no point eating 20 slices of pizza then going to the gym

    Hey Kharim,

    I love how you’ve compared body builders to bloggers. It really makes us question what we are doing to become successful bloggers. Are we taking action to make things happen to progress to the next level, or are we passive and waiting on things to happen for us?

    I know when I first started blogging, I wanted to have a successful blog but all I wanted to do was blog. And even at that, I was comfortable with blogging 4… maybe 5… and if I was lucky, 6 times a week. Not only am I aiming to blog at least once daily, I’m doing other things that I never imagined myself doing when I first started blogging like marketing my blog and a host of other things.

    Thanks for sharing, this is a reminder for us to stay on track and if we’re not on the right track, get on the right track.
