Today’s thoughts:
Farmer’s carries are one of the most simplest weight exercises you can do. Simply pick up the heaviest weight you can, walk as far as you can (or a pre-determined distance) and put it down. Simple. Despite the simplicity, it is still a difficult exercise to do; as it is also a mental game. You have to fight that initial thought of ‘Oh god, this is heavy!’ and replace it with a constant mantra of ‘Don’t let go. Don’t let go.’
Today’s effort was revolving around doing something rather than nothing. Reminding myself that I am doing this for me, not to be better than the person in front of me; just me.
