Fitness Tips

Fun? Fun! FUN!?! This isn’t a game, or a vacation, working out is serious business! Alright, alright, here are some ideas. Make it short. An hour of cardio sucks for everyone not a weirdo, but 10–15 minutes could maybe, potentially, possibly, perhaps be labeled as fun. Keep the intensity higher. If you aren’t going as long, you’ve gotta make up for that by going harder. Do it with a friend. Misery loves company; so does intensity. Make it varied. Set up 6 circuits-maybe pushups, pullups, prowler pushes, burpees, jump squats and lunges. Whatever you want. Roll some six-sided dice, and go do those stations, each for thirty seconds. More dice=harder Pray for the love of all that is Holy that you don’t get two+ minutes of burpees. Alternatively, if we are using dice, we might as well gamble, right? You can roll one die at a time, and do that station. Don’t stop till you’ve done all 6 stations. This means you could get lucky and just have 3 minutes of cardio if you get 1,3,5,2,6,4…or…infinite cardio. Imagine what people in the gym would say? “Yea…it was bizarre, man…he just…kept rolling the dice, and doing burpees. Did it for like forty minutes straight. There were tears running down his cheeks. Then he finally rolled a last time, looked really happy, pushed the prowler across the room and ran out of the gym. No one ever saw him again.” Real workaholics can use dice with higher sides, and more stations For the real sickos: Ready for your daily HIIT? Only takes the entire day! Play a game. Flag football, soccer, basketball…it’ll get your heart-rate up and won’t even feel like cardio. Step 1: Go up to the biggest guy in the gym and…slap him. Step 2: Try to get away. Don’t actually do this. It’s dangerous. And exceedingly bad manners. And illegal. Join a local track team. Sprinting and running are awesome ways to keep in shape. Great way to meet great people. Martial arts are also awesome at athletics and aesthetics. A kid and a katana, what could go wrong? Dancing is also fantastic. It might just be the second oldest form of exercise in human history. I'll let smart readers guess the first.beled as fun. Keep the intensity higher. If you aren’t going as long, you’ve gotta make up for that by going harder. Do it with a friend. Misery loves company; so does intensity.
