Today I skipped the RFM workout for several reasons, (1) I forgot my shoes again, (2) it looked like a lot of squatting which I really didn't want to do and (3) I wanted to try something different.
What? Something other than Crossfit? Do tell.
What? Something other than Crossfit? Do tell.
Well it all started when I saw a friend's pic on Facebook and saw this guy that I went to high school with that's actually older than me. He will remain anonymous but here's the gist of it: dude had abs. Hell, he had abs on his abs.
When I asked what the hell he did for a workout I was told P90X. Damn it.
So what did I do when I came home? I popped in the Ab Ripper P90X dvd that I had stored away.
Working out and listening to the fast talking haole guy while I was sweating in my room, it just felt wrong. Yes my abs hurt and yes I may try to incorporate this into my regular workout (maybe on Thursdays) but it's juts not the same. I felt like I was having dirty sex in a cheap hotel room with my mistress. Except not in a good way.
Hmmm . . . that didn't come out right.
Anyway, after the workout (which was only 20 minutes) I tried to also do the push-up workout too but you know what? Without my coaches there to push me I only lasted five minutes on that DVD.
So much for that little experiment. Back to the gym tomorrow.
Also, you may have noticed that I have not been writing at all on my blog. Well, it's hard. For a little while it felt like the I Hate Cardio experiment had also run its course.
No, not really. Actually I just wanted something interesting to write about. My workouts just weren't doing it for me.
Then it hit me. My most favorite blogs were about my fellow gym members. I should do what I do best and interview all of them and post them here.
And no, I don't care if you don't want me to write about you. You signed a waiver when you signed up for RFM, it's part of the gym by-laws. Seriously, go look at it. Bumper said what? He just forgot about that clause probably.
So here's how we'll start, everybody SEND ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS to antonerod@live.com and we shall go from there.
Don't worry, I'll be gentle. I'll have you know that I've interviewed mayors, governors, congressmen, senators, Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson and the entire cast of 90210 so you guys are in good hands.
Just don't confess to any crimes and we'll be fine. Otherwise I have to call Oran and then you'll have to do a whole different kind of interview that won't be nearly as much fun.
You ready? Let's get started.
