I have a confession to make. The confession is that lately, I just haven't been interested in strength training. Not sure why, but I just haven't been into it, can't get motivated for it, and find myself coming up with every lame excuse in the book to avoid it. No bodyweight stuff, no sprints, no kettlebells, no nothing.
So, what do I do?
Well, I've found myself on my mountain bike more than ever. For some reason, I've been obsessed with getting out on the toughest trails in the area for 2-3 hours in the 95 degree heat down here and doing full-tilt hammerfests.
I've been pushing myself on very technical double black diamond expert level trails, falling all over the place and hurting myself, and pushing my endurance well into the red zone.
And I've been loving it.
And I think that's important. If you get into a rut, or lose some motivation in terms of diet or exercise, then find something that you think is FUN, and do that.
Everything goes in cycles, so the bodyweight workouts, sprints, kettlebells, or whatever, will come back around into the rotation -- at just the time you need them to.
That's how it works.
