I know most of you probably love smashing iron and pounding weights as much as me. However, lots of you probably despise cardio as much as me too! So lately I've been trying to 'switch it up' and have some fun with my cardio. Over the weekend went for a 2 hour hike up and down some decent hills in a beautiful location. Next day got together with a buddy and took turns running routes and patterns and catching and throwing the pigskin and reliving old glory days. Yesterday did one of those fitness courses from the 80's at a park with those brown wooden workout stations (the joy of living where there is no winter!) and today played some hoops at the gym, and after bulking up all winter I was a little stiff on the jumpshot, but at 238lbs I was ripping boards down like 'the worm!'
My body seems to be responding well to the variety of activities, and most Importantly my mood is great & I'm having some fun rather than being miserable on the stairmaster.
In conclusion, SWITCH IT UP and HAVE SOME FUN with your cardio!!!!
