Our minds are as different as our faces: we are all traveling to one destination; –happiness; but few are going by the same road-

*sniff-sniff* Shhhh, come over quietly: like on your tipsy toes or something.  You gotta check this out…JaJa we had you going there for a minute!  It’s only Uncle Bruce coming in from the turnip field to put his feet up to rest on this glorious Thursday morning.  Another week here is quickly coming to an abrupt end, it’s all good though.  We’re all comfy nestled up close to a cup of green tea, perfect temp and perfect blend(China Green Quince).  Almost forgot about the blueberry bagel in the toaster…while we get that sorted…Feel like a quick game of “Come up with a creative caption?”  So do we,  so with no further delay:

The Plan-

You know the type: “Man my knee sure is sore after the run today.  What time are we going to kill “it” again tomorrow?”  Or what about the peep who laments about all sorts of knee issues  while sporting a knee brace?  Well, we have a game for you: Virtual Knee Surgery(<–No joke give it a GO!!!)

Obviously “Those People” have a deep disrespect for their body/soul and  think life is one big old game where YOU are the most important piece.  Pics of high scores get some goodies!!!

The Workout-

Rest Day…Spring is in the air and your body likes to be out in the elements (so we were told).  If going outside is a foreign idea to you?  Well today would be the perfect day to go for a walk!

Notes:

We tip our hat to you Mr/Mrs Space Bat…R.I.P!!!  Now only if some of you picking the wedgie out of your crack this morn’ would attack life with the same conviction?!?  Have an awesome day, ENJOY!!!

Writing gives you the illusion of control, and then you realize it’s just an illusion, that people are going to bring their own stuff into it-

Looking back it may have been wise to let you know that this weeks posts are trying to flow together in one way or another.  Grandpa-pa Moses pointed this subtly out last night:  “You bloviating fools spend so much damn time writing and chatting about something that in essence is so simple!”

“Get up and move everyday…”

That is 89 years of old man wisdom there peeps…In essence we all do this on any given day, right?  For most of us this simple idea begins to travel sideways as soon as we step out of bed though, sadly.  We could beat this topic into a righteous death daily like so many blog-o-sphere types do…But why really?!?  Only YOU know what it takes to get back to the purity of Grandpa Moses message…

The Plan-

Allow us to dip our toes into murky waters today for just a moment.  We are here to empower you not to provide self-serving recommendations or instruct your every move during a program.  There are fundamental movements you need to pattern before you add serious weight!  These need to become second nature like picking your nose in your mom’s basement.  Case in point:  Turkish Get Ups.  89.2% of you can barely walk and download an app little lone put all the pieces together to properly put some serious weight over you head!  And now you are going to go off to the “box” and do AMRAP in 20 minutes?!?  More power to you…Quick timeout for a few obligatory links to warm your heart:

These Links are Must Read(s) Peeps!!!

Weekend Warriors

Overly Aggressive Workouts Put Athletes at Risk

The Workout-

Trail Run/Walk/Swim for about 45 minutes or so followed by:

100 Alternating Goblet Squat Pivots

100 Reverse Lunges (No weight – No Shoes)

Spend 30 Minutes messing about with the Turkish Get Up (Start with what you learned yesterday and continue to pattern this critical movement)

Notes:

Today’s top tip:  Swimming and stretching in the pool prior to a hard workout…Let’s just say your body will thank you later in life.  Be safe today and ENJOY!!!
