Where is your package?



April 19th.



" come without a "package".so stay home until you get one.


boss man.


WO du Jour:
20 mile bike ride in the morning. warmer so my heart monitor works as you can now sweat a little. 16.5 MPH average. monitored heart rate on hills. Good ride.

afternoon session:
4 sets of "Helen" times 5 with situps (20 sets total)
4 sets of long cyle with 2-24kg Kettlebells for 10 reps after each 5 sets of "Helen"
34min.
.
Note: do not try this unless you can handle high work volume.

My former boss, when I was working would always insist that anyone who worked for him, when required to attend a staff meeting, that you come with something in your hand to contribute to the meeting process. He would say to anyone attending one of his staff meetings, if you had noting in your hand, he would ask " where is your package"? No he did not care about you personal package, it was journals, data, examples, materals that could be used during the meetings.
Getting to my point. I see most people enter the gym with nothing in their hands except for a smile. To be productive in your training you need a few items of a personal nature, that the gym does not supply as they are sized and maintained for sanitary reasons by its owner for training support.
In that regard, if you do boxing or mixed martial arts, you will need month guard, gloves, shin protectors, hand raps etc, for personal protection. If you are a runner, you will need several pairs of running shoes depend on the distance. If you are a weight lifter, you will need a leather belt, knee raps, solid shoes, and chalk.
Therefore If you are doing an aerobic class, you would not do the class in running shoes or combat boots. If you weight train, and you don't have a belt, straps, or wrist raps, you may not be able to lift as much.
