WHY AREN'T MOST PEOPLE STRONGER THAN THEY COULD BE?
A FRIEND OF MINE WAS COMPLAINING RECENTLY that he always finds the time to ride, but...
... never finds the time to do strength work.
I made him a promise, if would do one thing just one time he would easily find the time to be a lot stronger.
Not only find the time, but get all the benefits of being strong on and off the bike.
- Increased stability and power
- Better bike control
- Stronger bones
Who doesn't want that?
So, here's what I asked him to do...
... Next time you do your pushups, pullups and squats, time yourself.
Here's the honesttotodd's truth.
It takes about 10 minutes.
That's it.
In that amount of time, I can easily do
10 pullups
+ 30 pushups
+ 5-7 heavy squats
... and catch my breath in between.
If there is one thing I wish I'd done my entire life, it's that. Every day. Sometimes more than once.
In just 10 minutes, you can get amazing results. That you can see. And feel.
10 minutes.
He knows that, but he'd never timed it.
Timing it makes it real.
That's my minimum, pullups and pushups and squats. I have a few other things I do to stay strong, but even that only takes 22ish minutes.
So, like this morning, when Surfergirl has an early flight and I've got 30 minutes to get out the door, it would have been soooooo easy to blow that off. Instead, it's 10 minutes...
... make it happen.
Every day, but Sunday (my day off).
