I bought an 'Iron Gym', the workout bar you hang from you door jam and do pull ups from. It can be an amazing piece of equipment.
In fact, from using it I look so damn sexy that moving past a mirror without an extended glance at myself is damn near imppossible. I think I'm in love
But seriously, it has been a good piece of equipment. My back is substantially stronger and healthier. But I have an opinion on getting into shape and I'm sure Bobby J will agree.
Think about it. When we were young and in shape it wasn't because we 'worked out' per se, it was because we played. I'm sure Bobby J owes some of his physical fitness to surfing. But he loves to surf. It's not something he has to drag himself out into the Gulf to do.
Before I moved here I wanted to jog but running around the neighborhood and down streets didn't appeal to me. But here in the state forests where I look for wildlife, it's not exeercise, it's fun.
The same thing with skin/free diving. I absolutely love it and do it virtually every day. I probably went out over a quarter of a mile recently, twice in one day. And even the process of holding my breath to go down has helped my lung capacity and endurance. Now when I ride my bike I am able to sustain a hard, physical 'Lance Armstrong' type peddling for longer periods.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Find something you enjoy and you'll keep with it. And Bobby J, you're already in pretty damn good shape, so I'd definately like to see how you make out with this. Keep us posted.
I guess I need to get some sleep and start in the AM!
