Football Epilogue

This weekend I have a full body workout planned that's sure to leave me feeling tired, but accomplished. It will involve cardio, core muscle lifting, stability and balance exercises and interval training. The equipment needed is readily available, but non-conventional (from a typical "gym-rat's" perspective). It includes: A heavy bag, in particular one from Waste Management A wheelbarrow A shovel A lawn mower Bolt cutters A good pair of gloves This could be a group training session with plenty of hydration offered, but I'm looking forward to getting it done! I may have to splurge on a massage once it's all done.  :)

I helped a friend move today. Lots of furniture lifting, maneuvering, etc. It was a steamy day with high humidity in the mid 80s (F). It got me sweating good, breathing heavy off and on (intervals) and has me sitting in bed tonight tired. It's the original cross-fit workout! I think we spend a lot of time these days getting workouts in the gym when being productive, or even entrepreneurial, can provide excellent fitness. Next time I want to get sweaty and tired, I'll just grab a shovel and go to work in the yard or put out an ad to see if anyone needs any moving help. Afterall, while it feels good to run a couple miles or do some lifting, there's huge satisfaction to be had getting your workout AND getting stuff done around the house.
