Hitting it
hard
Oct/20/09 09:12
I don't have any great stories from Warsaw
yet, but I just wanted to drop in and tell
you that I exercised today. A lot. And it's
already helping me feel better. I normally
just put my workouts in the training log,
but since this goal is related to my
self-treatment for depression, I thought
I'd put it here.
I did double-unders with a jumprope using
the Tabata protocol (20 seconds go, 10
seconds rest) for 5 minutes. I then did
situps using the same protocol, 10 reps per
20 seconds, for 5 minutes. I then did
Prisoner's Workout, which is burpees in a
pyramid (10, rest a minute, 9, rest a
minute, 8, rest a minute and so on down to
1).
I sat around until I cooled down and
stopped sweating, hopped in the shower,
then I hit the street to walk to work.
Walked 1.5 miles to work, wearing my
45-pound backpack and pulling my 50-pound
hard case filled with video gear. I kept my
heartrate above 140 for most of the walk
and got to work soaked in sweat. Luckily,
it was raining outside, so everyone just
thought I was wet from the rain.
Been hard at work on the factory floor
cranking out video widgets ever since.
Thanks for stopping by.
