NO Sweat Exercising

 

Another oxymoron, but one I find very useful.

And I think you can too.

 

At the end of my day before going to bed, and before brushing my teeth I will take my [25lb] dumbbells and do 10 repetitions.

 

I put them down, and go brush my teeth. After brushing my teeth for 2 minutes and nine seconds (one of my kids was born February 9) I go back to my dumbbells and do another 10 repetitions.

 

I then shave and after shaving, go back and do another 10 repetitions - perhaps with my 20lb dumbbells. 

 

Then shower, and another 10 reps.

 

So, in the process of going to bed I will have lifted somewhere between 1,400lbs to 2,000lbs without breaking a sweat! 

 

I do this 3-4 times per week.

 

That calculates to about 225,000lbs of lifting each year. All in the space of a few minutes, a few nights per week, with less than a few drops of sweat - actually none.

 

If you start out with 10lb dumbbells - you will lift approximately 100,000lbs each year. 

 

Wishes for a great day to all,

Hugs too,

David/

Return to Your Babyhood Remember the good old days when you were a baby? When you never gave up, regardless of how many times you failed. What happened to those good old days? When you were learning how to walk, you fell down each and every time. On average 17 times per hour. Hundreds if not thousands of times. And what did you do? You got back up. Each and every time. No questions asked. Never taking failure as your final answer. And then, you succeeded. You never doubted yourself. You never overthought things. You never got in your way. If you are now doing these things, preventing yourself from succeeding, getting in your own way, doubting yourself, overthinking things, stop. You can do it. You have done it before. When you had far less capabilities and knowledge and support. Wishes for another great day, each one a gift, David/

Failure or Revelation? You never fail at anything, and that is the truth. What you are doing is revealing to yourself an area of improvement. It is important to realize this, because if you are not failing at something, you are not challenging yourself adequately. And if you are not challenging yourself, how do you make yourself a better person tomorrow than you are today? So please, fail at something often. Be a better person each and every day, because, Each day is a gift, David/
