Going up?

Going up?

Hill repeats can wear on you both physically and mentally especially if they’re a high repetition and long spanning bridge that you have to cover. You get into a groove, and just get it over with trying your hardest not to hate life in the process. It does make you appreciate flat terrain more though.

Today we have a short length, and not so high a bridge to do repeats on, and you’ll have only two repeats to cover! Yes, Two!

However there is a meat of exercises to perform in between the repeats so you’ll have something else to think about instead of the drudgery of the ups and downs of hill repeats.

Today we’re at Roos Recreation Center in Forest Park, IL

I’ve heard it said that to being strong mentally, physically, and spiritually you need to have mentors help you walk through those steps so that you can become the wonderful you that you’re destined to become.

Some of these individuals you have come in contact with you did not know they were helping to mold you to be a better version of you. They have worn many costumes like teacher, pastor, father, mother, friend, elderly, or the homeless man/woman you shared your grace with.

Small things to make the Big person that is you.

I like having to pick up odd objects from the floor while standing over them, and it is by far much easier when you’re lifting it up to any height in that manner.

I really enjoy how I feel having successfully lifted something odd and heavy in that manner. Then there is having to lift the odd object from the ground while supine, and the object is a sandbag. Oh man, it gets serious very quickly.

You’re having to perform abdominal contraction, trunk rotation, and flexion, and standing up with odd object to boot. Did I forget to mention that you must also return to the starting position to compete the rep? Ha! One!

Today we’re doing such a thing, and it’s the first exercise we open our workout in! Oh, I completely forgot to tell you to wear the 10/15/20# vest also. Silly me.
