Excuses...excuses

[Black Jack II]

Excuses for not going to the gym and working out get kind of lame after watching this vid.

Its good to get inspired at times, certainly good to see what others can do and put it up against to what we choose not to do.

Studies have shown that there truly is no excuse NOT to workout.
If you can't go to a gym, there are plenty of home exercise machines and routines to do.
If time is an issue, it has been proven that shorter and more intense workouts work better than longer ones.
Heck, if you are already in decent shape you can maintain or even improve your cardio and strength in less than 20 min per day.
HIIT methods such as the Tabata protocol are for more advanced trainees, but they can easily be modified for almost any level.
This can also be applied to the MA.

The only excuse to not workout is we deep down don't want to and if that is the case, it usually means we haven't found something we like to do.

The kid's a ****ing hero, no doubt.

But hey, I thought you were gonna show me someone who had invented a 30-hour day: then I'd have no excuses for not working out. :rolleyes:

Edit: btw, it was really nice to hear him talk on that vid. I've seen him before and always wondered what he's got to say for himself.

If you meet this person let me know his secret. I would like a few more extra hours as well.

I'm out at work on average about 12 hours a day. I get home and help my wife out with the housework and the baby. I don't get enough sleep.

So yeah, sometimes I sink down in front of a dvd and say, **** it, I don't want to train... but if I've had 4 hours sleep I figure that's better for my health.

So enough with the bull**** studies by some ivory-tower knobends with enough time to waste on bull**** studies: I'm sick of it.

[RD'S Alias - 1A]

Yeah, Ok...It's nice when you have nothing else to do but Wrastle all day.


When that guy has to see and, inspect 4 cars, all on opposing corners of the Chicago land area, then after being on the road all day come home and write 3 supplements causing you to cancell the evening's practice when you were the one who was pushing for it in the first place....and he still can do what he does, THEN I will be impressed.

He has a handi cap, is supported by someone else so he does not have to struggle for his own sustenance and is unable to really do much more than wrestle all day....

[RD'S Alias - 1A]

Mr. Punch,
I agree 100%...I'm on my way to see a car at the auction house an hour from my home right now...I'm actually posting from my laptop in a traffic jamb on the 290 extension.

If it wasn't for my ability to multitask beyond the limits of mortal men, I'd never even have time to eat.

LOL !
Dude, what are you ranting on about?

[Black Jack II]

He is just ****ed he has to come home and do housework.

[sanjuro_ronin]

He is just ****ed he has to come home and do housework.

I feel his pain !
Bathrooms are my job at home :(

I wake up every morning at 5 to workout before work, one a week I take my lunch at local gym to get in sparring, everyday when I come home I workout for an hour and then spend the rest of the evening taking care of my 2 girls and helping the wife.
I get 6 hours of sleep a day, though I get 8 on saturday and sunday.
I focus my training on HIIT and such to get the most out of my limited time.
Just the way it is.

[Mr Punch]

He is just ****ed he has to come home and do housework.LOL, yeah, you nailed that one!

Nah, my wife's cool: she's always busy with the house and our daughter's not crawling yet but somehow manages to get across the room apace, plus she works from home (not my daughter yet, lazy cow - my wife) and is only a slip of a lass... so helping out is a must.

I had a programme like yours, Sanjuro, but I've usually got too much work to do from home to get more than 4-5 hours sleep, and if I train in the morning after that I don't function at work, and get sick into the bargain.

[BruceSteveRoy]

this is what inspires me. and think lots of fathers can't be bothered to even spend time with their kids.

Wow. That's sick. (http://www.bizzyblog.com/2006/02/15/positivity-if-you-think-hes-different-you-dont-know-dustin/)

Dustin, now 16, wears prosthetic legs at school, but he has given up on the electric-powered arms.

“They can’t do what I do,” he says.

Every two or three years, he gets a new set of legs. They take some getting used to.

Dustin lives with his dad and half-sister Harli in an apartment outside Hillsboro, a country town 60 miles east of Cincinnati. But when he was 10, he was living with his grandparents, Linda and Dave Carter, in Monroe.

Dustin didn’t like riding to school on the bus for handicapped students, so he prevailed upon his grandmother to let him ride the regular bus.

OK, said the school district, just see him on and off. Eventually, everybody saw how self-reliant Dustin was, and they let him get on and off the bus by himself.

[RD'S Alias - 1A]

My whole point is that he has a lot of opportunity to train, ANYONE with that much opportunity could wrestle really good. In fact, his handicap is in part what GIVES him that opportunity.

The rest of us have normal stress filled over taxing lives.
