Energon & FiloLog
Hey Energon, did you know that the word “push‑up” is literally a blend of “push” and “up,” and each part actually comes from different linguistic roots? “Push” comes from Old Norse “þjappa,” meaning to shove, while “up” comes from Old English “up,” simply indicating upward direction. In your micro‑goal system, each rep is like a tiny push‑up in a chain of small linguistic units—kind of like how the prefix “micro” comes from Greek “mikros,” meaning small. Have you ever thought about how the etymology of workout terms might reflect the tiny, disciplined steps you build into your day?
