Hi Folks,
As California opens up a little more starting on Monday, May 18; you’ll be able to drive to running and cycling venues, instead having to do so from home: more options for some great workouts.
Sample idea if pressed for time: Remember that you shorten your workout if time or energy is an issue with 5-10 (x 10 swings) followed by 2 x (1,2,3) Clean & Presses. These complex exercises (those that hit multiple muscle groups) give you most bang for the time spent. Get in a short routine instead of skipping the full workout because it keeps you consistent and the body thrives on consistency. Your goal is to get your body “addicted” to requiring some exercise on a daily basis. For more on what are the ingredients for a successful regular exercise routine is highlighted in John Gardner’s ” Positive Addiction (he’s the author of Reality Therapy). I heard him at one of the best sports medicine seminars held in conjunction with The Silver State Marathon, 1978 near Lake Washoe; a tough run at altitude.
