DrTri Weekly Health & Fitness HomeWork for 8/24/09

Did everyone eat roots and tree bark last week?
I sure hope not. I did get some feedback from a few people that said it seemed difficult at first, but then they realized that it was really easy and seemed too simple.
“You mean just meat/fish and veggies?!?!”
“yep!”
“Oh, I can do that...”

Anyway, enough of that food stuff. This week’s HomeWork has to do with “fun”.
Actually the opposite of fun.
Your HomeWork this week is to do some sort of physical activity for at least 30 minutes that you wouldn’t normally do, and therefore may not find to be very ‘fun’.
If you go to the gym, I want you to use a machine that you have never tried before.
If you are opposed to yoga. Participate in a yoga class.
If you have not ridden a bike since you were 12 (or so), go rent a bike on Alki or Greenlake.
(PLEASE WEAR A HELMET)
Speaking of Greenlake, they have paddle and row boats for rent also.
Not a ball sport person? Go play basketball at the neighborhood park.
Anything you want, just something that you would not normally do.
Yard work does count for this. I personally do not like (borderline hate) yard work, so this might be good for me...
If you are not a ‘runner’ (Dallas?!?!) then go ‘run for 30 minutes steady pace.
Rollerblade?
Chop wood?
Tennis?
Catch?
Frisbee?
Romanian Stiff Legged Deadlifts?
DrTri Iron Cross?
Swim?
Canoe?
Stairs?

You get the idea. I have found that a lot of us migrate towards the physical activities that we are good at or have become practiced at doing. This is to break up that cycle/pattern.

Have a great week!
