A great motivating post Vic, ta for the kick up the arse! My half-hour gym workouts have taken a bit of a sideline to stretching and kicking drills as I prep for my 2nd dan, but will get back to the weights after that – I need movement stamina for the grading, it’ll be about 3 – 4 hours :-s

As for the red line, I almost passed out from sparring with a little girl last Sunday, does that count? (Actually, I’m only half-joking, I did kind of “phase out” for a few seconds…)

I love the humour in this post! You cover a great range of points that I swear we must all be able to apply some point(s) to ourself. I personally think no.2 is a killer for many. Change is good – change makes us feel uncomfortable – if we only grow when we change then we need to work outside our comfort zone right!?

That said – as ever find your balance. No point doing a different workout every day and not measuring anything. I champion ‘Rule Free’ fitness methods and spontaneity in fitness but we need to track our improvements somehow. That could be difficult if you never do the same weights workout twice, or take a stopwatch for your sprints!

Best. Post. Ever. It all rings true. Now that I have those bad behaviors in my sight, it’s time to crush ‘em up good! =D

Thanks, Vic.

Bottom line is that it takes effort and that’s something most people rather not invest in. It’s easier to “I tried ” than “I am”. Get off your ass and get to work! If you need another incentive here it is – the fitter you are the better sex is. How much more incentive is that?

Thanks, Jen. And double thanks for sharing on your facebook wall.

And my fighting weight is about 155lbs. I think you could lift me up no problem.
