Foundation VII

Don't Limit Yourself to the Gym.

Get outside. Get some fresh air. Remember back a few weeks. Arthur Saxon himself, in both of his books, was a huge proponent of getting out in to the fresh air. There were very few things he valued as much and there currently are very few things that I believe can make your workout more functionally applicable.

Practice doing the things you enjoy doing or find yourself doing every day. Take your regular afternoon walk, but wear a backpack with a few pounds of books in it. Take the dogs for a jog instead of a walk. See how many times you can squat down and lift that 2 gallon jug of olive oil you got at Costco from floor to counter before you have to rest. See if you can make it all the way across those monkey bars.

Make your fitness plan real and immediately related to your routine.

When you make tasks in every day life harder, the rest is cake.
