🤣🤣🤣 On my run today (paved running path at the park) two boys about 6/7 years old go past me on their BMX bikes like bats outta hell. They go a few yards wide open and one lays on his brakes skids the tires and lays it down, rolling off into the grass. He pops up and tells his friend "Now smell my tires! Hurry up! Smell my tires!" Haaaahahahahha! I said "Dude! That was awesome can I smell them!?" Moral: Raise little Spartans!

October 12–18 Last week, we tackled 300 pull-ups. This week, we’re switching things up. Your challenge: Accumulate intentional movement throughout the week AND try at least 1 activity you don’t normally do. 🎯 PICK YOUR LEVEL 🟢 BASE: 150 minutes ⚪ STANDARD: 300 minutes 🔴 BEAST: 450 minutes 💪 WHAT COUNTS? Walking, running, lifting, cycling, swimming, hiking, yoga, Pilates, mobility, sports, or any other intentional movement. YES, your regular workouts count! 🔀 HERE’S THE TWIST Try at least 1 activity outside your normal routine. 🏋️ Always lift? Try yoga or swimming. 🏃 Always run? Try strength training. 🚶 Always walk? Try cycling or Pilates. 💪 Do everything? Pick something you’ve neglected. Even 10 minutes of something different counts. 📋 THE RULES ✅ Pick your level. Adjust if needed. ✅ Accumulate minutes over 7 days. No daily minimum. ✅ Mix activities. Your normal workouts count. ✅ Try at least 1 activity you don’t normally do. ✅ Modify as needed. Walking, seated exercise, and low-impact options all count. ✅ Recovery matters. Don’t push through pain or add unnecessary training. ✅ Track your minutes honestly. A missed target doesn’t erase your effort. No equipment or special app required. Just track your minutes on your phone, watch, or a piece of paper. Report your progress in your regular Friday check-in and share your final total here after the weekend. The challenge is optional and doesn’t affect Active 300 status. 👇 YOUR TURN! Drop 2 things in the comments: 1️⃣ BASE, STANDARD, or BEAST? 2️⃣ What’s the NEW activity you’re trying? Get moving. Try something different. Have some fun with it. LET’S GO, PROJECT 300! ⚔️💪

I spent my first week Mon-Thurs with 20 wires stuck to my head, wrapped like a mummy with strict instructions: "no sweating!" What a bummer! (In home EEG) Wires off just in time to head to the grind for night shift. Got in some inverted pulls at work improvising with heavy tools, and some more with dumbells before I head back in tonight. I woyld classify this first week as a bust. Looking ahead to week 2 and putting this one behind me. Adapt and overcome! AROO!
