So, last week I was talking about my new gym and how they wanted to know what my fitness goals were. And I tried to come up with some, but was told my goals were not original or specific enough. So, I started thinking that I want to be stronger. I really want to be able to carry 2 full tanks at once and of course my gear. So far, this has required multiple trips up and down the dock or Matt gets loaded down like a pack mule. Either way, I want to be able to carry my own weight in one trip. I plan on doing rescue training soon and I will definitely have to get stronger for that. Or start going to Judo so I know how to toss around people twice my weight. Anyway...
Yesterday, I was again asked my fitness goals (moving from a white card to a gold card - woohoo!) and I told the guy specifically what my goal was...
They are now customizing exercises for me so I can achieve this goal. He even went so far as to ask me how much the tanks weigh and the position that they are carried. I can only imagine what these exercises will be - a simulation - I am sure.
'Hold out these 50 lb weights at both sides, now hold them out a little - you don't want the tanks knocking into your knees and ankles - and walk... Oh, here comes the steps to the dock/boat/bar/etc. - now do some lunges. And don't forget to breathe.'
I can't wait!
