Excercise the excess.

There is no secret to being a fit, happy, healthy person.  The fitness industry would have you believe that they hold the cutting-edge secret to better health.  They want the general public to remain dependent on their overpriced gizmo's and diet plans.  Really, there is nothing complicated or confusing about health and fitness.  Eat clean foods when you are hungry - drink plenty of water - work hard - and get a good nights sleep.  It's as simple as staying consistent with your efforts, while measuring your progress.

It also isn't necessary to rely on a public gym schedule.  Many of the tools I use for training were built cheap (most under $20) using parts from a local hardware store.  If you walk through the park across the street from my house on a training day, you are sure to see a heavy-breathing, bearded man climbing rope, hoisting sandbags overhead or shot putting dumbbells.  Sure, I get strange looks, and from time to time I get participants, but mostly I have fun challenging myself while working up an appetite.  Some understand it - others don't - it's not for everyone.

The Jabs team did a great job with Tuesday's training and went on to do punching drills on Wednesday.  Today's challenge will target legs, core and back, using a few of my favorite homemade devices (sandbag, t-handle, tire pull).  This is yet another example of using simple devices/movements with an ultimately effective outcome.  It's not rocket science!

1. Sandbag Shoulder x 5/side
2. Sandbag Squats x 8
3. Mountain Climbers x 20
4. Burpees x 10
5. T-Handle Swings x 10
6. Sprint @ 50m
7. Tire Pull using 30' rope (pulling a person sitting on a tire)
8. Jumping Jacks x 20

          Repeat x 5

          Rest as needed, limit to 120 sec between rounds
