I have searched far and wide for a proper warm up, that gives me the flexibility to lift and pop the hips, spine, feet, knees, wrists and hands in the right places to go to the barbell nice and fresh. I also wanted a warm that I can do with any extra equipment and does not eat up half an hour. This routine will not help you with your mobility defencies but oil the joints to step to the plate.

When you are exercising a lot you have to take care of your nutrition to stay healthy. Vitamin D is a vital part and I personally cover my intake with one tablespoon of cod liver oil a day with good results. I am still injury free when it comes to my bones and muscles with two years of marathon training and one year of crossfitting aged 29.

I have run two marathons now and know the pain and agony you go through when your body revolts beneath you. In both of them I considered quitting. Back here at my desk I was wondering, what would have happened if I quit the distance. Dialing for a cab without a mobile ? Get your relatives to pick you up somewhere in the middle of nowhere ? Being brought back to the finish line by medics ? My quick internet research shows, that there are not many reports about what happens when you quit before the final line. Most people make it to the finish line, if they make it to the start. It seems that most of the quitting population do not even show up to race day.

As I am focusing on getting better on my body weight exercises with Angie, Annie and Barbara, I now tried G.I. Jane for the first time after a Stronglift 5x5 session. It is hard but easy and fun work out to be recommended to anyone who can do 10+ pull ups in a set for at least once. If you can not do pull ups yet, you shuld start with something easier like 100 push ups for time. My first time clocked for the 100 burpee pull ups was 14:29.
