Isn’t it great how it makes the ice cream sundaes taste better too – no guilty residue….

Hells yeah! Go, J.D.

It’s sounding like it’s making the cross from a weight-loss program to a lifestyle. That is SO key.

But wear sunscreen if you’re mowing with your shirt off. ;)

If this is Part 3, where are Parts 1 & 2? Also… CrossFit sounds great. Unfortunately, the nearest CrossFit gym is about 15 miles away in the next town, and it’s in the wrong direction with regard to traffic, convenience, etc.

As lame as this sounds, I just can’t manage the time. Between work, four kids, my wife, etc. I need something close and convenient. Thus, I soldier on by running in my neighborhood, splitting firewood out back, and so on. If they opened a gym in our town, however, I’d be all over it.

Congrats, J.D. I’m glad you’re enjoying your fitness regime. That’s key. Any reasonable fitness routine will get you in shape as long as you actually stick with it and do it regularly. Most people don’t actually *like* working out, though, so they give up. If you find something you enjoy, it’s a lot more likely you’ll stick with it.

Personally, I’ve never liked any sort of gym-based exercise program, but I stay in good shape with cycling and surfing. The type of exercise is a personal choice, as long as you’re exercising!

Another example: It’s after 10pm, and I feel restless. What do I do? I go out to the driveway to work on my double-unders (where you jump rope while passing the rope under your feet twice per skip). I’m not able to land two in a row, but I try. Then, on a whim, I run around the block (approx. one mile) at top speed.

This isn’t the old J.D. This J.D. is sweatier.

Maybe you should practice the after before. Yes? Yes?

I don’t know what Kris and I will do when you and Paul become crossfit-induced hotties.

Another 20. The grass itches my belly (yes, I’m mowing with my shirt off — so sue me). But to counter this, I’m going to bike to the ice cream shop when I’m done to buy a peppermint ice cream sundae.
