I won’t trivialize any issue someone might be having. Some stuff in life comes up. Personal tragedies, heartaches and setbacks are serious. But what none of us can afford to do is to wallow in self doubt and get stuck. Bullsh*t happens to everyone at some point. We owe it to ourselves to keep working and keep moving. The workout:

Every 90 seconds for 15 minutes:
• 5 squats at 200#
• 5 hammer strikes (left) @ 16#
• 5 hammer strikes (right)

women: 135# squat and 10# hammer

Was just thinking about the Golden Rule: treat others as you would expect to be treated. Basically the law of reciprocity. And how difficult that is to do and protect yourself from people who don’t necessarily follow the same philosophy. My thought was that, in the long run, following the rule is better than not. If you treat people well it will come back to you in good ways… eventually.
Today I got an anonymous gift in the mail. Some Nike Metcon 1’s.

I’m not really into material gifts. But I always appreciate the thought behind them. Thank you anonymous gifter. You have reignited my belief in the Golden Rule and the power of treating people well. Good things will come to you.

Pizza bands with T3Athletics - Stephen Amell
This is a great full body workout. If you don’t have the weights, go with resistance bands, or heck you can go with a bag of flour or potatoes, anything with a bit of weight that you can hold while doing these movements.
I love functional fitness. You can modify to fit your level of need and what you have available to you.
Now get up and get going! Have fun with it!
