M6:D20 (D498) Have fun!



What's on my mind today?

I give out alot of advice in this blog, but today I am going to give a piece of advice that is extremely important.  It is something I remind myself of all the time.  It is something that has been working well for me now that I lift weights with Matty.  The advice I have for you is – have fun!

You will stick with your program as long as you are enjoying yourself.  But how can you have fun while sweating and working so hard?  Read on!

One approach is to create a competition.  What I do sometimes with Matty is see who increases their total volume the most.  Obviously I lift heavier weights than him, but we calculate the total volume from the previous workout and the total volume of the current workout and determine our percentage of increase.  The competition makes us work harder and we laugh alot and give each other a hard time during the gym time.

Another approach is to make a bet as to who will lift the most repetitions on whatever exercise you choose.  Again, the competition will make it fun and you will want to go to the gym to see what happens.

If you don’t have a partner you can compete against yourself.  It works the same way and is just as much fun.

Cardio was good today.  I spent 60 minutes on the bike.  I did it in intervals.  The bike is great for intervals because it starts and stops faster.

I was sore in my left hip today and the foam rolling fixed it.  What’s amazing about foam rolling is that it really does fix alot of the aches and pains you are experiencing.
