12 days of fitness

     I received this fitness idea from runner Martinus Evans and started yesterday. Modifications are fine.

Day 1, 1 jumping jack

Day 2, 2 burpees plus 1 jumping jack

Day 3, 3 pushups plus 2 burpees 1 jumping jack

Day 4,  4 lunges plus 3 pushups, 2 burpees, 1 jumping jack

Day 5, 5 mountain climbers, 4 lunges 3 pushups, 2 burpees, 1 jumping jack

Day 6, 6 air squats, ............etc

Day 7, 7 high knees, ...........etc

Day 8, 8 spiderman planks........etc

Day 9, 9 crunches.......etc

Day 10, 10 supermans......etc

Day 11, 11 glute bridges....etc

Day 12, 12 ab bicycles.........etc.

     Already on day 2, I realize how hard this will be.  Burpees are not my friend. 

     I thought I might get a jumpstart on getting healthier next year by running the Resolution Run 5k on New Year's eve afternoon, but of course it is cancelled again this year due to covid19.

“It is precisely that requirement of shared worship that has been the principal source of suffering for individual man and the human race since the beginning of history. In their efforts to impose universal worship, men have unsheathed their swords and killed one another. They have invented gods and challenged each other: ‘Discard your gods and worship mine or I will destroy both your gods and you!’” – Fyodor Dostoevsky

 Interesting!
