How to do a simple outdoor workout

Willful blindness to the facts of fitness and health

If you cannot handle hard truth, don’t read any further!
Few things in life tick me off as much as the intentional trashing of a person’s health. I see it in different forms every day.

Contrary to popular belief, we are accountable for our actions (and lack of action).
Cause and effect apply to everyone, even you think it doesn’t

  •  If you eat garbage (aka fast food) you get fat
  • if you don’t exercise you get weak (if you “pretend” to exercise, but don’t lift heavy, you still get weak)
  • if you don’t get enough sleep, you get sick
  • if you smoke you will probably get cancer

None of this is rocket science!

People love to avoid the facts and to avoid  the hard work it takes to be fit and strong.

  • there are no short cuts
  • there is no magic pill to get you a healthy body
  • you can’t download a healthy, fit body
  • you cannot get fit and strong without doing the work

I am so tired of the excuses people make about why they can’t get in shape.

The biggest reason is that they are lazy and undisciplined!

Many people just don’t want to see the obvious.

What a person used to do doesn’t matter today. You have to earn that fit strong body each day.

There is no such thing as lifting little “bunny weights” to maintain your fitness.

Excessive cardio won’t do it either, though some cardio is needed.

I am shocked at what I hear from those who are supposed to grown up and mature in their thinking.

Remember, you won’t get the body you want; you’ll get the body you earned.

Health, happiness, & family are inter-connected

Anyone who has had serious health problems, or has a loved one who has, knows how hard it can be.

I hope this video will encourage all of you

How to be a well-rounded athlete

Max number of reps in 20 minutes

Just starting today’s training

Double bodyweight yoke walks and……………………….

I watched some extremely tough gals do a brutal event towards the end of the Reebok CrossFit Games last night.
Some people will tune out because I said CrossFit, no problem, go ahead.
For the serious strength enthusiasts, who know what hard work is, this is still impressive.
This event involved six rounds of 300lb yoke walks for 50 feet and 400 meter runs, with no rest.
The yoke weight was easily double the weight of each gal who carried it

No matter what training discipline you are in, I think that is worthy of some respect!

Very tough team events
