“QUARANTINE DAY FIFTY NINE”
Congratulations to all the PYRO RONIN challenge finishers. We should have the list of all the finishers in the next couple of days. All finishers will have their names on the banner at Pyro. Also, finishers can get an exclusive tshirt. “Earned, not given” This was definitely challenging but also very fun. In fact, it was so good and effective that it would be totally worth it to continue doing it. There’s no denying that everything in this challenge had a positive impact on all of us. Especially the daily tasks like meditation, stretching, the mile run/walk, nutrition recording and the 30/20/10. This might have been just a challenge for some but it was simultaneously a full programming cycle. There’s no secret to fitness and health, consistency and effort. This challenge had us do exactly that. There’s also a saying out there that whatever you do for 21 days, it becomes a habit. We certainly hope that most of you will continue to follow the PYRO RONIN way of life or at least some of it.
Here’s a breakdown by the numbers:
21 days
105min of meditation
210min of stretching
630 reps of weightlifting movements (snatch, clean and jerks)
21 miles of running or walking (33,600 meters)
630 squats
420 push ups
210 pullups
That without all the running and the reps performed within the workouts
We hear this all the time. I need to be better at this, need to be better at that. This was your time. Imagine somebody working on getting their pull up and doing 210 reps of it. You might not be close to get one but think about it, doing 210 reps of something will definitely get you closer to it. What about working on your handstand push ups. Would doing 420 reps of it get you closer to it? You bet. There is no secret or magical programming, only a goal, hard work and consistency.
Again, congratulations to all of you. Sweet skills!!!
We’re already planning another wicked challenge soon. Stay tuned
