Front Porch Fighter: Breakfast in the Park

Breakfast in the Park

Breakfast in the Park

AKA

My Wednesday workout.

Since Wednesdays can be a little bit de-motivating, and since I have an extra long week that was starting to de-motivate me, I thought I would share today's workout with you. You can try it at home.

Warm Up
Tabata runs
Tabata Sit-ups
50 Hindu Squats
50 Over the top pushups (10 on the ground, 10 with feet elevated 18", 10 with feet elevated 36", 10 with feet elevated 18", 10 on the ground)
Tabata runs
1 mile run to cause myself extra pain. I think that is what is was for, cause that is what it did.

Don't worry, I took breaks. I am not in truly awesome physical condition. And I wish I had started before 0930.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your week!

What's in a Name?

Since a few have asked, "Why the name, 'Front Porch Fighter' ?", I will take a stab at answering it.

In times past, the predominant feature of most houses was the front porch. It was right out there in front and it used to be a gathering place for people from the neighborhood. Friends could come over and hang out, lovers could swing on the porch swing and moms would entertain with lemonade. The front porch was a place to get to know others and it signified a willingness and a desire to be in community.

The predominant feature on many homes built today is the garage. The garage is a place where you can pull your car in without anyone else having to talk to you or interrupt your schedule as you retreat into your private sanctuary. To me, the garage in front signifies a desire to live my own life and a kind of disconnect from the rest of the world.

While I appreciate some privacy and sanctuary, I feel that all too often, we are disconnected from the rest of the world and have lost a sense of community, which the home styles reflect. So, I am an advocate of the front porch....at least metaphorically speaking.

Hence, the name Front Porch Fighter.
