But sometimes I am doing all those things AND I am still down. It's apart of the 10%, you know the percentage of your life you have no control over. But why miss out on the other 90% worrying about the 10% chance of bad weath

As week 2 comes to a close, I am very hopeful of the changes yet to come. Yesterday's workout was a challenge as always but I got through it in just  30 minutes!! I am proud of myself because we had what was called a "Chipper" workout of the day (or WOD) including: 25 pull-ups 25 knees 2 elbows (K2E) 25 goblet squats 25 sit-ups 25 resting kettlebell swings (RKBS) 25 power presses 25 deadlifts 25 supermans 200m farmer carry I explain in my video below what all that gibberish means :)
