The Sun Is Coming, Until Then, Ideas For Great Indoor Workouts

March 15, 2023,

The sun has been peeking out from behind the clouds.

Then, just as quickly, it is gone.

That’s because there are far more clouds than blue sky.

Sometimes rain as well.

Hopefully not snow.

For now. Hopefully not for long. It rained so much here in Northern California we were very concerned about flooding.

We were indoors a lot. Through wind gusts up to 70 mph.

Whatever the colder conditions may be, don’t let it stop you from working out.

You don’t have to get out and face road hazard conditions driving to the gym.

Workout at home. Starting with sit ups.

You know what they are and you have your way of doing things but it is always helpful to turn to an expert. When it comes to sit ups, sometimes there is our way. Your way.

Then the proper way.

Very informative and somewhat enlightening.

Let’s walk over to the bookstore. This one is very ambitious.

The Squat Bible: The Ultimate Guide to Mastering the Squat and Finding Your True Strength Paperback – March 30, 2017

By Dr. Aaron Horschig (Author), Dr. Kevin Sonthana (Author), Travis Neff (Author)

“As a physical therapist, coach, and certified strength and conditioning specialist, Dr. Aaron Horschig began to notice the same patterns in athletes over and over. Many of them seemed to push themselves as athletes in the same ways they push themselves out in the real world.

Living in a performance-based society, Dr. Horschig saw many athletes who seemed to not only want to be bigger and stronger but to get there faster. This mentality ultimately led to injuries and setbacks, preventing athletes from reaching their full potential.

Now, after developing unique and easy-to-use techniques on how to train and move well, Dr. Horschig shares his invaluable insights with readers in The Squat Bible: The Ultimate Guide to Mastering the Squat and Finding Your True Strength.

This detailed plan enables you to unearth the various weak spots within your body—the areas that leave you in pain and hinder your ability to perform—and completely change your approach to athleticism. Discover new strength, new power, and astounding potential you never knew you possessed.

As the founder of SquatUniversity.com, Dr. Horschig knows that when you transform the way you work out, you transform your body—and your life.”

On the grappling math, armed with your powerful thighs, you will find your true strength.

How are you feeling? Hopefully inspired.

Don’t worry. The warm weather is coming so you will be able to venture out soon. Maybe even hit the gym. But until you do, there is always the opportunity to work out indoors. Without weights if you choose to and you still can get a great work out in.

Whatever you do, what happens indoors doesn’t have to stay indoors.
