Talking to some friends today about exercize and running, they all agreed: they hate running. “You should excersize doing something you like”. My wife mentioned it is important to make the decision to enjoy the workout.
My strength, cardio and overall energy is low. I won’t be any good on the mat when I finally get to practice Jiu-Jitsu. So should I run or play racquetball? Alwyn Cosgrove breaks it down:
No one I’ve ever met likes running. Except runners. And no matter what they tell you they don’t like it either. The commercials that have the hot chick running along the beach with her dog smiling are lies. All the runners I see on my drive to work are miserable old fat bastards who look like they hate life. The only other runners I see are my running sport athletes who are getting the crap beat out of them doing agility or conditioning with me. And they don’t like it either – trust me.
So what should I do if I’m not going to run and run and hate it?
Complexes are performing two or more exercises in a sequence with the same load. You complete all your reps with one movement first, then complete all your reps with the next movement. Example: When combining a squat with an overhead press, perform 5 reps of squats first, then 5 reps of overhead press without dropping the bar.
