Right so after torturing my regulars with a special workout commemorating my 36th birthday, I’m sitting with a glass of 10yr old Talisker, Celebrity Juice is on the TV and I’m writing you my 36 top tips for achieving high levels of awesomeness.
10yr Talisker, doesn’t get much better then that!
Here we go:
- Recognise and work on your weaknesses
- Laugh at yourself
- Give some of yourself without being asked
- Learn something new every day
- Spend time on the floor
- Play, and I don’t mean computer games
- Read books, real ones, made of paper
- Read things that challenge your opinions
- Do something physical every day
- Spend time alone. Properly alone.
- Turn off the TV, Computer, Phone and interact with the real world
- Walk slowly through the woods, soak up natures life force
- Take long gaps between meals
- Pile your plate high with veg, mostly green
- “Eat the rainbow”, natures version, not skittles!
- Allow yourself a treat, follow the 80/20 principle
- Stretch, a little yoga goes a long way
- Breathe. Slow and deep, right into your boots
- Drink more water
- Lift heavy things
- Learn to train with just bodyweight
- Inspire someone
- Raise the average
- George Herbert used to say “Être fort pour être utile” Make this sentiment a central part of your being
- Respect yourself, if you don’t, no one else will
- Be the person your kids think you are
- Play the games your kids want to play
- Eat foods of only a single ingredient
- Learn to throw a real punch
- Roll, Breakfall develop and maintain agility
- Find a way to express your creativity. Draw, write, play music, dance, whatever
- Teach someone, you have unique expertise and experience, pass that along
- Stop watching the news
- Be open to new experiences, say yes more often
- Complete a tough challenge every few months, be physical, cerebral or both
- Form your own opinions, but never be afraid to change them if something better comes along.
Now, what did we do in the gym today?
Well I put together a special birthday workout for myself. 36 reps of everything, and I used the 36kg kettle.
- Pull Ups x 36
- Clean & Push Press/Jerk x 36L/R
- Goblet Squat x 36
- Hindu Push Up x 36
- Snatch x 36L/R
Finish each exercise before moving to the next exercise, so ensure you’ve done all 36 pull ups before starting the clean & press. Use a few sets as possible.
The Snatch and clean & press, you may swap hands at will, but ensure to get 36 reps per side.
Don’t be shy with the weight, like I said, I used the 36kg bell throughout.
Enjoy
