Go Ninja on Your Fitness Training!

Here on the Warrior Blog we spend a lot of time discussing many different aspects of proper warm-ups, joint mobility, injury prevention, stress management, effective methods of recovery and restoration, and also proper programming of workouts.  All this stuff is critical to know, to understand, and to put into practice in our daily training.

That being said, sometimes you have to just throw all the rules out the window and go completely ninja on your fitness training!

Go Ninja!

For one day a week, take the science, the perfect programming, the rules of the road, and throw them out the window.  Go all out – balls to the wall or nothing at all – and push your limits.  Test yourself.  Push the edge.  Find the threshold you think you know and blow past it.  Don’t worry about over-training or over-stressing your CNS – sitting on your butt behind a desk all day is under stressing it, which is much more dangerous.  Feel the sheer exuberance of completely letting loose!  Revel in the adversity and become a better person for kicking its ass.

Fade to black as our scene shifts to inside Warrior Fitness Gym…

…. my muscles quiver like jelly and my breath comes in ragged gasps as I struggle to get it under control.  Sweat soaks my shirt and pools under my feet on the mat.  Every muscle feels the ache of being thoroughly pushed, man do I feel the burn!  I am so tired that just continuing to stand is a huge effort.

As I stand there having conquered my Limitless Training Day, a buzz begins to slowly fill my body.  A smile spreads across my face.  The buzz builds to a surge and energy floods my body.  A feeling of being completely and totally alive overwhelms the soreness and tiredness.  Limits successfully pushed again.
