Morning Glory

We’ve got a small gym and sometimes we have to get creative with our workouts and our equipment. Using a cue from Graham Holmbergs workout, have you ever tried a kettlebell clean? Watch Jeff Martone give a brief description of a kettlebell power clean wmv/ mov. The principals are the same as a clean with a dumbell or a barbell. We are still going to jump the weight upwards and catch the weight at shoulder height.

This would be a fun variation I think, give it a try!

There will of course be some running today as well!  If you are frustrated with your Pose running progress, try this idea from Dr. Romanov called the Action Concept.  Here is an exerpt:

We are looking for the proper pattern of the thought: “pull the foot from the ground”, the desire: “pull the foot from the ground” and then the action: “pull the foot from the ground”.

What we have in reality is: the thought: “where is my support?”, the desire: “I want a stable, safe support!” And the action goes accordingly….

…In order to stay in the proper action sequence, which in our case is pulling the foot from the ground, we need to keep our thoughts precisely on the pulling action, and never slip to its opposite landing and pushing. Certainly it’ll require mental concentration and focus in every step of our run. Sure it is not an easy task, but it is not different from everything in our life: business, science, acting, etc. It is all the same: thoughts-desires and action, one thing at a time.
