Need to cut out the slacking
By
So it wasn’t that long ago I finished Rushfit and got myself into the best shape I’ve been in a long time. Then I started slacking, suddenly my exercise wasn’t as important as it should have been. I’d make a plan, then push it back a day, then another day and next thing you know I’m working out two days a week.
Then I got really slack and let it slip to the point where one week the only exercise I got was supervising students while they were ice skating. Sure I skated for two and a half hours, but the sheer number of students on the ice meant I didn’t really get my heart rate up.
This week I’ve put that slacking to rest with some hard workouts that have me feeling much better about myself. Monday and Tuesday of this week I spent my lunch break doing the Marine Fit workout I’ve previously mentioned, fortunately with little to no pain from the running.
Wednesday was a tough one as that was the day of our staff Christmas lunch. As luck would have it, I found a workout online that I thought looked really interesting. It’s the strength training segment from Navy Seal boot camp, I told you they were tough! After a good warm up, you do 15 press ups, 20 sit ups and 3 pull ups with no rest in between, then rest for two minutes and repeat three more times.
Thursday and Friday had me really finding my groove, getting up at 6am to fit in the Marine Fit workout before breakfast, followed by a nutritious breakfast of course. With the weather being nice and the sun coming up nice and early, it’s quite a pleasant way to start the day.
Tomorrow I’m planning something a little easier and giving myself Sunday off. I had previously used Friday as my rest day while doing Rushfit and found it worked quite well for me, going to have to tweak my schedule a bit so that I can get back to that too.
