Every so often a friend of mine will challenge me to some sort of fitness routine. He does this knowing that I cannot refuse a challenge, it's a point of pride for me.
I was handed one during last week and promised him that I would do it over the weekend, so tonight was it. The original challenge contained pullups but I STILL cannot do them, so he agreed we would remove the pullups and tack on an extra 5 reps to the remaining movements. This is what I wound up with:
Burpees x30
Dips x30
Jumping jacks x30
Pushups x55
Jumping jacks x30
Dips x30
Burpees x30
Pushups x5
Total time 16:07
I'm nowhere near satisfied with that time, but I completed the challenge so my pride is intact. Lol
I may keep this around sort of as a mile marker routine. Also for form because my pushups are not up to snuff.
I never want to half ass anything. I want to excel at this otherwise it means nothing. So, I'm thinking pushups everyday, perfect form. I don't care if I only get 1 with perfect form, it will be perfect. Then the next day I'll try for 2.
I saw a quote today from MMA fighter Conor McGregor, "I am not talented. I am obsessed." I'll be damned if that one sentence hasn't floored me.
