My commitment to every-day fitness continues. This morning I strode to the park and tried out a new exercise drill that I found posted on Twitter. According to the tweet one should execute it as quickly as possible (sounds like crossfit! but I don't drink that WOD Kool-Aid) and most certainly wasn't going to race through it on the very first trial...that would simply be setting myself up to fail or, more likely, fall back on excuses; a thing easy to do when you're by yourself (It was my first try ... I didn't drink enough water beforehand ... should've warmed up more ... blah, blah, blah).
I did the routine without pause and completed it in 14mins -- without wishing, "Man, I wish this was over already!" Not bad. My heart rate was up and some sweat was evident (but, then, I sweat easily). Definitely a good way to break through the morning - if you exercise in the mornings - or as a warm-up for a work-out. Progressive resistance is key to continued improvement so, maybe, in a week or so I'll up the ante (incrementally) and challenge myself.
I aim to stay as close to this:
hard ass
and as FAR away from this:
lard ass (click on his stomachs)
If you look up "perfectly proportioned physique" in an encyclopedia this is the photo you will find there.
ReplyDeleteYeah I think so, too. Booyah!
