Some days, you just have that jolt of energy that lasts and you want to use it the best way possible. For me, yesterday was a fun day to do not one, not two but three awesome workouts that were fun to do and felt great in all of them.
Started out with working my neck doing some neck mobility work, moved onto my joint loosening routine to keep things flowing and relaxed, got in one minute of side kick throughs and an agility exercise as well in this workout. A little while later, did a Dopa Band Routine at the park where it was a HIIT style workout where it was 5 exercises for 45 sec on/15 sec off 3 times totaling 15 minutes. After getting back home, chugging some Cherry Liquid Death and chilled for about an hour watching a show on Netflix, went down to the gym, brought my 20 lb Death Star Slam Ball with me (Yes, us Star Wars nerds workout too) and filmed doing a short 5 min session of slamming the ball for 15 sec on/15 sec off for 10 rounds.
Training like this is a bad ass way to stay active and keep things going when you can't always cram one big workout in. Could I have if I wanted to? Sure, I love going for a half our or longer some of the time but those types of workouts give off killer vibes especially if you want to get projects done later on and get to do a little something here and there throughout the day.
The perks of training is learning how to be adaptable and even get a little creative at times. Some don't always have the luxury of getting in an hour long workout, so it's important to figure what you can do in the moment or have that little window of opportunity. There are certain days where I have stuff going on and it's not possible to get some of the workouts in I'd like but that's ok, micro management bro, you can also cut down the amount you normally do or cut down the rest periods. Always keep an eye on the prize though, don't sacrifice form or the feeling of being rushed ruin something good in the timeframe you have. Look into the book Micro Workouts to get more ideas on what you can accomplish in the time you can use.
Patience isn't one of my biggest virtues or I get anxious when I feel rushed. I never go a day without training, I've written about this enough for you to know by now when it comes down to training every single day without fail for the last 2 decades. This is where knowledge is power and wisdom is strength when you can do something no matter what even if it's for a few minutes. Hell if you have less than 10 minutes, get some squats and push-ups in, do 100 Rollouts with the ab wheel or a small suspension training thing. Isometrics is perfect for those short on time like Horse Stances, Push-up Holds, Handstands, Iso Rows, Wall Sits, whatever tickles your fancy. Be adaptable and if you need to, get something in one the fly, you got this.
Make the time you have count, learn to love knowing even if you can't always get in what you normally do, there's always something else you can do in the meantime. Doing multiple workouts a day can be very beneficial, you don't need 2 hours or even 1, sometimes 5-10 minute sessions can have a greater impact because you can accomplish something quick and still do what you need to do the rest of the day.
Train with purpose, but also be prepared for the unexpected. Life can be a bitch, so don't let it get the best of you. You are strong, capable and you're a fucking bad ass. Get at it and be amazingly awesome.

On a side note, going off topic for a moment, I want to share with you that my wife got featured in a women's newsletter at Lost Empire Herbs about taking Athena Formula and the results she's had so far with it. You can view it HERE!!! I'm very proud of her progress and she just keeps killing it. Check it out.
