Resolutions are for quitters

Seriously, has anyone every stuck to a resolution? I've never heard of such a thing. It's a nice idea, but psychologically, it's destined failure. We don't need resolutions or tv commercials to acheive anything. We just need a desire to be better.. A hunger to acheive. So feed that hunger by acheiving things regardless of it being a new year. If it wasn't January, would that make you exempt from being the best you can be?? NO! Be your best NOW, and save the resolutions for those sob-stories on day-time TV. Take it with a grain of salt and make a ridiculous resolution. My resolution was to figure out a way to cram more meat into my stomach and to figure out a way to sustain a constant supply of braised baby-back ribs.. Just Saying..

Here's a couple workouts to keep you all occupied since I know everyone is itching, ;)

1.
10x
SPRINT 40m
1:3::Work:Rest

3 x max pushups (NO KNEES!!)


2.
100 squats

5 RFT
30 Hollow Rocks
30 supermans

100 Squats


extra: Saw the morning crew whoopin' out a dashing Death By 10M. Great to see! Good job! We'll make that an option for this week too.



Also, please be patient with things as we transition to the next BHIP on-ramp push. It's hectic but it's fun and it's how the program is going to grow and get better.

I cannot emphasize this enough, but, the program will continue IF THERE IS DEMAND for it. So please keep coming and make your presense known.

Thank you all for coming and have a great week!

  2. I think it's good to make goals instead of resolutions... like one of my fitness goals for 2011 is a dead hang pullup!

    Tried one of the UCLA Recreation Group X classes today (Total Body Challenge). Sadly, it's NOT THE SAME!!!!! Not even close. Outside of the noontime IFT class on Fridays, it's back to the posted workouts for me.

  5. Thanks for the workouts! If I wanted to do the "sprints" on the rowing machine, how far would I aim for? I was thinkng 100 m row sprints ...

    Also, I like Sarah's fitness goals vs. resolutions - I have a few myself this year.

  6. 100 meters is good if you can sustain the output evenly the entire time.

    try 80 meters.. if that's too easy, go up.

    We timed the whole thing (squats included):
    Mark -15:58
    Andrea - 16:22
    Liz - 17:59
