Efficiency through Creativity and Grit

To test one's mettle, grit, determination, and cajones, all you need is yourself, creativity, and " Big Kid Pants" (realistically, you could workout naked and still bust your own balls/ovaries, no pun intended...more power to you). 

When in a crunch, try this out for your cardio strength blast. Pick your favorite and most familiar moves; I recommend the Squat Jump, Burpee, Push Up and Curl-Overhead Shoulder Press.  Add weight if need be so that you have moderate resistance (say a pair of DBs that you can get 8-10 reps with max on your weakest exercise).  Pick your time frame, and go through as many rounds as you can, performing sets of 1,2,3,4, or 5 reps per exercise in consecutive fashion.  No frills, No excuses, Only results.

Here is mine, and yes, pics included! 
Workout #1: "Gymnast Gusto and Glory"
1. KB Push Up x1
2. KB Plank to Double Leg Kick Through x1
3. KB Levitated "L" Hold x1
4. Steps #3 to #2 Reversed
5. KB Burpee Deadlift x1
*Repeated for 20mins resting only as needed, recording total rounds.
*WHEN you decide to embark on this one, start off with hexagonal dumbbells, then progress to kettlebells that have larger base, so that you can stabilize yourself when levitated.  Just make sure you can still manage a proper Deadlift at end. 

I then ran my 5 mile training run to stay on track with my race training.  Got it in. Got it out, did it right.  Effective and efficient advancements on "THE JOURNEY" doesn't always need to mean 3 hour trips to gym.  These both we in, showered, and out in less that 90mins (20ins to "Freshenize").
Stay tuned to J2Fit blog.  Give some feedback on what you all want!  Stayed tuned for video clips of warm-ups, exercise instructions, workouts for you, etc!

When in doubt, just get shit done.  That bar, obstacle, predicament, extra mile, workout, or unforeseeable event is not going to move itself or get out of your way miraculously.  Keep your head up, hips down, and get dirty.  See it out to the end.  "It builds character".  Get it started, keep it moving, and get it done.  Then continue on the journey.
