don't have to be bored

May 14Th.

the picture is of Ron Morris, a kettlebell instructor- gym owner and one of his students who is a lady, doing chin ups on a crane. "out of the big box"




"they must often change who would be constant in happiness or wisdom."

Confucius

WO du Jour:

warm up: joint mobility, 5 sets of 5 pull ups, 10 ring push ups, 15 squats, 20 abmats.

5x 250 meter rowing all under 1:50 pace. Wow this is a big change

10 sets of five one arm speed press: 24kg kettlebell (100 presses)

10 sets of sumo High pull with 36kg. kettlebell.
Did not time,but did not rest.
As a spinning instructor(which I rarely asked to do) I receive a newsletter the other day explaining how not to get bored teaching or practicing the fine art of Spinning. Well, that's no surprise! How long is it going to take for someone who does spinning several times a week( I don't mean to pick on spinning, as same can be said for running, biking, swimming, boxing etc) you begin to get stale physically and mentally. Oh you can change the music in your I-pod or, change the speed, but its the same stall your horse is in. You need to get off that same horse and get out and do something physically different. There is also an injury potential that is overlooked when doing repetitive, long duration, aerobic exercise.
My solution to that is try kettlebells and some good old CrossFit and I will bet the farm that you will never get bored or run out of exercise options.
Wilson's rule #5: "you can't get different results doing the same thing"

Have a nice day suffering and remember the mission is sacred
