Its a lake a really small lake, too.
But its where I get some ideas to share with bootcamp trainers and people who want minimal equipment workouts. This was my scene on my walk yesterday…. puurrrrty Ive recently started to force myself to take a walk on my off days to clear my head and hit the reset button. And you know what? It has increased my productivity and I always come back rejuvenated. You should do the same, and if youre a trainer, I would suggest it to your clients.
I always tell my clients to stay active on their off days because honestly, if they are working at a desk, they need to stay active if they wish to stay lean or lose weight. In other words, you gotta keep that body moving. You can blame it on me if you feel awkward telling them. Say something like, Well, Mike said to stay active on your off days. Ill take the heat its all good. But seriously, you can tell them to do something they enjoy like jogging, walking, playing with the kids, pick-up basketball, playing hide-and-go-seek with the dog whatever. I always suggest something away from the gym so they dont feel tied to having to go to the gym 7 days a week. As a matter of fact, thats what I told my friend Rick to do. I just changed his program around so hes working out 3 days a week and just staying active on his off days. This is really ideal for those that are just starting out or havent worked out in a while.
Anyway, as I walked and thought, (while shamelessly listening to some old school 90s hip-hop), whenever an article idea hit me, I immediately would put it in my Evernote app. By the way, this app is free and I strongly recommend it. You can save a note and it automatically uploads to their server and will sync with your computer. But I dont even use that feature I just use it to keep my ideas, and sometimes I even use it for my to-do lists.
Anyway, all of a sudden, it hit me. The pushup. Everybody does pushups in bootcamps. But sometimes, pushups get boring really boring. The next thing you know, youre getting burned out (or worse your clients are getting burned out). I dont want that to happen. So, here are some unconventional ways to use pushups in your boot camps or yourself. Let the games begin: Spiderman Push-up 1. Keep the abs braced and body in a straight line from toes (knees) to shoulders. 2. Place the hands on the floor slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
3. Slowly lower yourself down until you are 2 inches off the ground. 4. As you lower yourself, slowly bring your right knee up to your right elbow. 5. Keep your foot off the ground as you do so. 6. Push through your chest, shoulders and triceps to return to the start position, and return your leg to the start position.
