Duel Purpose Exercise
I got nothing to really journal today... because I been working on my new , home state of the art, Iron party Gym... That said... I will give a little advice commensurate with my years..
Exercise should always have a bigger purpose than just exercise..
Me , I always look for duel purpose...
During the initial exercise craze in the early 70's... I opted for Martial arts... I burned more calories.. and my skills eventually brought me to the point where I was teaching law enforcement, Special Forces, Executive Protection and a pleathra of others.still do on occasion.. duel purpose...
I initially started lifting weights to bring more power to my left hook and uppercut... and fought many in the amateur ranks at the bottoms , in West Oakland..
looking for more power.I also got built, strong and determined..
During the height of the counter culture... I played guitar in San Francisco...I didn't think of calories... at that time , I was thinking of girls... I wasn't that good then.. but it did have the desired result. Girls came, even though I sucked.....What I hadn't considered at that time..was the calories I was burning... duel purpose
You sit on a recumbent bike for an hour..and burn about 330 calories...
You shred... on a guitar... you burn 250 per hour... and that's if you are sitting and playing mellow acoustic tunes.. and even if you have no thought of calories... you get to be a better musician...weather you like it or not...
In 1980 I stopped playing guitar... because after an original tune... some women approached me... my wife got very upset.. SO, to ease her mind.. I put it down...for 35 years... My wife died in 2012... a week later I bought a guitar.. and have played , everyday for 4 to 8 hours...yes, I am a better musician tan I ever was... but...this is duel purpose... how much is 230 calories per hour times 6 ??? Make your exercise fun and duel purpose... Do it today... tomorrow never comes... Doesn't matter what your passion is... burn in it...
First pic was when I was fat... 201 is fat for me
Second pic is when I was very dangerous...and taken last week...
Third pic... is how I shred some pounds
all pics are relatively recent... and in each one I am at least 60 years old..
So, give me an excuse !!!
