The great health pioneer Jack Lalanne passed away in 20
11 at the age of
96. So, today's wod will be a 'for time' challenge of
11 different exercises, many of which involve the push-up in honor of Jack's push-up record. We will be doing
6 reps of each exercise for
9 rounds. As inspiration for the wod, here are some of my favorite Lalanne quotes:
Many so-called spiritual people, they overeat, drink too much, they smoke and don't exercise. But they do go to church every week and pray, "Please help my arthritis. Please help me bring up my strength, make me young again."
Everything you do in life, I don't care, good or bad - don't blame God, don't blame the devil, don't blame me, blame you. You control everything! The thoughts you think, the words you utter, the foods you eat, the exercise you do. Everything is controlled by you.
So, the wod for 2/3/11 is 9 rounds of 6 reps for time of: (record time in comments)
