back from vacation

March, 26th
" Take calculated risks. That is not like being rash you know.
George Patton.



WO du jour:
warmup: abmats 100,pushpushs50, squats: 100 pullup 20. bands warmup for shoulders.
14kg swings: 100 reps.
barbell: power cleans 95# 4x10 reps.
Its good to be back at the grind.

15 mile bike ride: not an easy ride with all the rest, plus having a cold, however it was good weather for a ride, so you just suck it up.




I had a conversation with a young lady that was trying to find out what the best way to loose the fat around her abs and get in better physical condition for summer. Her current fitness program consisted of 1.5 hours on a treadmill and some ab machine crunches. I asked just how long she expected the continue this program without getting borded or injured.Well she was already frustrated for lack of progress as she had been at this for a month and making no progress. I asked her about what she was doing in regards to diet. She was trying to eat better, but she was having some trouble purchasing good food as it cost too much money on a limited budget. fast food is cheap compared to good fruits, veggies, and good meat. Yes, there is some financial sacrifice to eating good clean food or you can end up like a lot to residents that are obese or just plan fat. Eating low grade food is mostly a chose of selection and not always cost, but uneducated people tend to eat poorly do to lack of knowledge of what is good eating.
