After a great Thanksgiving weekend filled with family, friends, football, food and fun, I am ready to sweat with a kick but full body cardio workout today! Sometimes when I’m doing a hard core workout I need some inspiration to keep me pushing; good music or inspirational moments like this below that really gets me excited about pushing my body to the limits.
As a San Francisco 49er fan myself, this image known as ‘The Catch’ brings back good memories of the NFC Championship game on January 10, 1982 and the win by Dwight Clark.
With less than a minute left, the 49ers were down one touchdown and an extra point away from taking the game from the Dallas Cowboys. Six yards from the end zone Joe Montana took the snap, rolled right and as he was being charged by the defense, sent the ball to the back of the end zone where the secondary receiver, Dwight Clark, leaped higher than he ever had or ever would again, snatched the high pass, briefly lost control, regained it . . . and then we all witnessed… touchdown!
This football moment also reminds me of what my old coach used to say:
“Fatigue Makes Cowards Of Us All”
Warm up: jog 400 meters, 50 sit ups, 25 pull ups
Workout:
- 2 minutes of burpees
- Run 200 meters do 30 push ups
- Broad Jumps 200 meters, do 30 push ups
- Do this cycle 4 times as fast as you can and post your time! Beginners scale as needed. (example: cut cycles in half or reps in half)
After this workout I want you to repeat what my old coach used to say…: “Fatigue Makes Cowards Of Us All!”
