it rained but i went to the beach anyway


there are a million excuses not to train, (i've used them all myself), but thats just what they are, excuses. problems. laziness. instead of excuses lets look for solutions. i love training outdoors. its good for the spirit and nature tends to provide all of the equipment you need. Its also a good way to get my kids involved and playing with kids is one of the best training paradigms i've come up with. today i took a drive to the beach and we just used what nature provide and spent 20 min just moving: non stop: no rest:
we jogged around (in the sand and up dunes) and climbed rocks (pulling) and did pushups (pushing) and lifted stones (from the ground up/squating-deadlifting)
did some bear crawls, curls, and lunges.
no equipment just us and the earth.
20 min. at the end of 20 min. i was used. but kids being kids, we spent another 2 hours running around - walking around and playing and doing beachy things. at the end I went for a swim. (contrast bathing)
no excuses. 20 min. brilliant workout. didn't have to be a beach. couldve been the park. or the living room.
no excuses. just discipline.
want to change more than you want to stay the same
