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/
