That Was Me – I Did This …

Randy, you know, when I want advice on cheeseburgers or not wearing a shirt, you’re the person I’ll come to-

Now that you have  prepared for any challenge in your way.  You can’t wait to go out and prove yourself to the world!

Today you are making history!!! Today is a day for the ages.  What you achieve today is a story you’ll tell your kids and grand kiddo’s over and over (nauseously) just so see their eyes widen when you say, “That was me!  I did this!

Take a moment to think of all the great first moments in sports history: The very first Olympics.  Tom Brady’s first touchdown pass, Your first pair of $125.00 Lululemon yoga pants and Tim Tebow running shirtless in the rain.  What you achieve today will be right there, the pinnacle of all of these great moments.

Completely off topic.  Here is our solution to the empty seat(s) mess at the London Summer Olympics:

The Plan-

Just wait for it … Chad Le Clo’s Father, Burt Le Clo?!?  Let’s just say he’s welcome over anytime!!!

**Apologies for the video and audio quality.  We had cut back on our production budget.**

The Workout-

Our Warm Up is the exact opposite of what you did yesterday.  Dial the intensity knob down to about three and simply have fun.  Followed by:

Not for time …

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Perfect Ring Dips (no hurry today.  Play around and see what works best for you.)

Notes:

Put yourself out there today and achieve something great!  Have fun and ENJOY!!!


Afternoon Deleitar …

Welcome!!!  Kick off your shoes and join us this afternoon.   Relaxing, marinating in the sauce of life …


Compassion is for Chumps …

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend

Those cheeky Buddhist!   Surprisingly, 2500-year-old Buddhist traditions contain some very basic and fundamental truths about our  own  human nature that we are slowly warming up to.   One of these traditions (the one we like to chat about the most) is that humans are inherently social beings!  Our brains are wired for building relationships, love, compassion and working together.  The individualistic,  look at me and my precious life and competition of our modern lives has led to an imbalance not only within ourselves but rather in everything we see around us.  As the Summer Olympics roll along we get a first hand look at the results of this:  Anxiety, Loneliness, Pain.

What’s the point of this post today?   Being compassionate to ourselves is pretty darn cool and not something you should avoid.  When you do finally accept compassion into your life?  We all become more accepting of others, period!!!

The Plan-

15 year old Gold Medalist … Ruta Meilutyte

The Workout-

Our Warm Up today is our Workout, Maybe?!?

Start with a nice Walk and listen to your body.  If you like running (Insert anything here peeps)?  Run after a little bit … Get after it today to the tune of 90-95 max effort%

Notes:

Now this may seem gauche and out-of-place today however seeing that many of our readers are firmly entrenched in the Elite/Warrior/Extreme/Insane/Kranked fitness craze of late?  Allow compassion to move you forward.  Uncle Mo (A true Man’s-Man) is not asking you this today … Rather screaming at the top of his lungs this message of compassion.  Compassion is the key to your fitness and healthy goals!  Try it and ENJOY!!!
