Eight men showed up for the final workout at Alcatraz this year. We began with some stretching and a slow jog to the fire station. We traveled up and down the three streets across from the park, at the bottom and top of the streets, 10 merkins and 10 squats. After we took a moment to catch our breath, we made our way back to the parking lot and on to the field.
For the remaining time, we performed the Accumulator. List of exercises, sprint across the field and back, add an exercise.
Exercises:
– CCDs
– Jump Squats
– Flutters
– Shoulder Taps
– Side Lunges
– Box Cutters
– Hand Release Merkins
– SSHs
– Burpees
I ended with an analogy. I asked if anyone heard of Stanley Drukenmiller (nope) , or David Tepper (yes). Both of these men have consistently outperformed the stock market over the past 30 years. Doubling their money in less than 3 year compared to 7.2 if invested in an index fund. Relating it back to fitness, you can continue to be average or you can seek out those men who excel and find out what they do differently.
Start now…It doesn’t get any easier when you get older.
