#excersies

Forget that “fat-burning” zone on the treadmill. I have learned firsthand that strength training has done a better job at helping me lose fat (especially belly fat….my collection area). While aerobic exercise burns both fat and muscle, weight lifting burns almost exclusively fat and the proof is in my personal results. At 30-something, I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life. Crazy right?! …

3 sets, as usual, of 

60 second Superman

60 second plank

20 obstacle jumps (I'm just going to jump over a cement brick)

30 shoulder to shoulders with a 25 pound pack or weight

15 knee to elbows

I personally already hate this workout, and it originally had 45 knee to elbows, which I thought was a touch extreme, considering what else is there. 

Do remember, if you're just starting or still not great at doing stuff like this, take it easy. Know when to stop, pace yourself and be reasonable about how hard you push.

Do what you can, push it a little, and you should be alright. 

But, don't stop at any little bit of tiredness, soreness, or sometimes even pain, that's a part the helps you grow.

 I'll probably do this way later in the day, I have some appointments to attend to. 

You are a strong cup of black coffee

You are that prominent nose and prominent mouth

You are that kinky hair that grows out

You are history and present; honestly

You are, no matter what they say, the future

You are sisters and brothers, skin, bone and blood

You are the child of the one above

You are PhD; you can make your own lecture

You are free limbs so don’t let them shackle you

You are free minds so don’t be what they assign to you
