Well,
for my record, fitness is happening in my life despite a ramping up in progress
of what will soon be a very busy seasonal work period. What I’m doing must be done with
efficiency. I don’t have the luxury of
jumping into my car, going somewhere, dressing down and dressing up into my
favorite jock training attire, working out, showering, redressing, driving back
to where I came, etc.
So,
what am I doing? Quick and dirty, yet
highly efficient stuff in a spare room in my office where I have permanently
parked my modest kettlebell collection, a pair of 5-lb. dumbbells for some
heavyhands work, a small step for some step-up work, a wooden dowel for some
stretching, and a reasonable space to move forward, backwards and side to side. Good enough to get my fitness job done when
you consider the alternative of doing nothing and that’s not an alternative of
interest to me.
For
my record, I did have a long time out late in 2016 lasting for about three
months for reasons I really can’t explain other than describing it as an
extended period of fitness training lethargy.
It took me getting disgusted with myself to do something about it; glad
I did starting on January 1st.
For
my record to document how quick and to the point, here’s what I did yesterday
for a total workout lasting 16 minutes:
4
rounds of the following combination: #1
= hand-to-hand swings x 30 reps using 24 kg kettlebell, then #2 = standard
pushups x 12, then bodyweight full squats x 24 reps, and finally #4 = one
minute of upper-body stretching.
I
allowed 4 minutes for each round and this gave me a little rest before starting
the next round.
This
little combo gave me an elevated heart rate while allowing me to stay dry and “fresh”
so afterwards I could get back on my work pony saddle and giddyap back to working.
Yes,
I’m exercising.
Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum
