Tortoise Treadmill

The great Fat Loss Race is a bit like the one that the hare and the tortoise entered. I’m sure you’re all intimate with the story of the tortoise and the hare.

The hare continually boasted of his speed, reminding the tortoise of his own shortcomings as a ‘slow coach’. One day he challenged the tortoise to a race and astoundingly the tortoise said yes. Even more surprisingly, the tortoise ended up winning, by merely taking his time.

‘Slowly does it each time!’ the tortoise exclaimed as his rival crossed the finishing line in second place. The same could be said of successful fat loss. Take your time, stick to the rectify eating and the right intensity of exercise and you will cross the finishing line. It may take longer than you might like, but you will get there.

If you’re anything like the hare, you’re in all probability wearing the pants out of the treadmill, the X-Trainer or even the pavement, determined to shed that excess fat in record time with neverending bouts of cardio. MORE is not always BEST. Don’t let fat loss turn into a daily obsession with sweating!

I’d rather you worked hard 3-4 times a week, put the crusade in and then relaxed, shifting your excess focus to your each day diet, rather than clambering onto your favourite piece of cardio kit each and each day believing that sweat = fat loss.

Remember – you don’t improve while exercising – you improve while recovering from exercise, as you rest. Fat loss happens amidst sessions, once your metamorphosis is flying, NOT while you are exercising.

Don’t end up like the hare, racing in front impatiently, only to end up burnt out. Take a leaf out of the tortoise’s book and give yourself time to achieve.

Tortoise’s best album
By Chance
Overlooked in favor of the also brilliant TNT but this one is deeper. Brilliant, evocative. Just an unbelievable traveling from an aweinspiring band at their peak. Highest recommendation.

Decent album…. kind of boring. I expected more
By Nate
i’ll undertake to be concise, so let me original say that my introduction to Tortoise was seeing them live at Bonnaroo 07. they were great! i loved each minute of it. i had never heard them before, and my friend said that he was commended by a friend to see them. they jammed and sounded great.
that being said, i am closely disappointed by this album. it has it is moments, but seems to be for the most part just noodling, meandering, just in-between time until some sort of groove takes shape. i had heard “glass museum” rigorously by prospect on a friend’s mix cd, only to discover that it was Tortoise upon hearing them play it live! this song is unquestionably one of the highlights on this album, yet regrettably is only when it comes to 4 or 5 minutes. the initial song is not so outstanding as an introduction as it is lengthy and monotonous without too much change or even discernible groove or melody. it’s not almost as interesting as other parts of this album.
but you know, i’m not Tortoise scholar (or jazz-fusion scholar) so don’t take my word for it. don’t get me wrong, i think Tortoise is a outstanding band and does a good deal of cool stuff. but as i said, i genuinely expected more from this album. perchance this is just weaker than their later albums. it’s worth a listen, but don’t suppose to be blown away. it might not even be interesting sufficient to keep going back to for continued listening.

Can we get this for MP3 download?
By Tajar
Looks like they have a decent selection of Tortoise albums over at the MP3 downloads, but not this one. Why not? Just an oversight or are we going to have to bribe a good deal of mute record exec to get the rights? This is a outstanding album, let’s get access!
