Putting The "Fun" In Functional Conditioning

Too many people these days don't have enough fun in their training.

"Man, I can't wait till this is over."

"Jesus Christ when does it end."

"I can't do this its too hard."

"Why in hell do I need to THIS!"

I bet you dollars to donuts you've heard some of these quotes more often then these.....

"Damn that was a great workout."

"I want to go again."

"That was it? Come on man, lets keep going."

"Dude, let me try that out."

Its all about attitude when you train. When you're down and don't feel like nothing is working, nothing will work. When you feel that its a great workout and need to back off a little thats a different story. That tells me you're enjoying yourself and you know your limits. Fun training is when you put fear and awkwardness aside and just go out there and be yourself. Its not easy but its simple enough to learn. Having fun is not goingf out there and making bad form or half-assing anything, its being proud of what your doing, you make an effort to work on your form and you smile while you doing it. Smiling goes a long way not just working out but morely outside of it as well. If you want a fun workout that not only gave you cardiovascular benefits but builds strength, speed and tougness Here is a brutal but great Tabata Workout....It involves Hindu Squats & Animal Exercise
