being healthy, step one
Posted by Bone at January 9th, 2004
ok, since I decided that I’m gonna get in shape for my snowboarding trip I figured I’d better do something so I can get it on the blog so that you don’t think less of me.
I did a bit of research and it turns out calf raises are good, and I actually knew what they were so I decided to do 100 and then see where to go from there.
So it quite literally was step one, cos I was stood on the first step in kitchen door.
I did do my 100, but I’ll be honest, there was some pain in there by the end (consider what those calfs are pushing though), so its gonna be a long journey, but I’ve gotta reach the finish otherwise my holiday will be a waste of time and money.
My severely lofty aim is to be able to do 300+ without it hurting too much.
According to About.com’s Snowboarding section situp’s are good, pushups are good, and several things that I don’t understand even though their names sound obvious.
Anyway, I basically have till around March 20th to get to a reasonable level of fitness. By my calculations that give me 71 days.
y’know I’m 531 in that list, thats out of 6057, makes me feel pretty good
and for all the sites on the gostats register I’m ranked 8400 or so, but thats out of 108000 sites, but I know I’ll never reach #1, unless I start modelling for porn.
71 days, lets rock…
