Friday Thoughts 65
Welcome to this week’s Friday Thoughts, where I share my favorite things I saw on the internet this week, plus the occasional random thought that didn’t make it into a full post. Enjoy!
Shoe Police:
I hate playing shoe police, but this time of year, it’s important that you bring a clean, dry pair of shoes to train in. The salt eats away at our rubber flooring and stains it. Help us keep the gym clean this winter and bring an extra pair of shoes. Don’t forget the shoe rack if you want to leave a pair in the gym. Thank you!
James Clear Quote:
I saw this on James Clear’s newsletter this week, and thought it’s such simple explanation of what it really takes to stick with something. Adaptability is key. In all these years of training people I’ve noticed that many people are unwilling to do the easy version, and that stops them from doing anything.
Biking Steps?
I can’t seem to stop mentioning 10,000 steps. Over the past week I’ve noticed that when I select “Indoor Bike” for my AirBike workout, it will not count towards my step total. However, if I select “Cardio,” which I use for most general in-gym workouts, my step count increases from the bike. Remember, with the AirBike, you pump your arms and your legs to move.
I’m on team, yeah it’s close enough to a step to count as a step. I’m moving, exerting myself physically, breathing, the only missing piece when compared to actual walking is that I’m not supporting my own bodyweight, and I’ve got to say that is a good point, too.
So, what do you think? Do AirBike steps count?
This was a good, thought provoking post from author Ryan Holiday.
This is a deep cut but hopefully one of you will appreciate the Eastbound and Down clip.
That’s a wrap for this week!
