(Usain Bolt)
Hey there collegestuds and collegebabes,
Sorry about the hold up. The last couple days I have been outrageously busy. My cousin Sam just got married and I was at the ceremony and party. Needless to say my friends (but I’ll say it anyway) the party was off the hook. I literally danced for six hours straight. No joke. NO JOKE.
That brings me back to the whole notion of plain simple physical activity. Do you all remember what physical activity is? Physical activity is an intended movement made to accomplish a given goal. What am I getting at boys and girls? I think my pain stricken legs will attest to the amount of energy I exerted last night. six hours of dancing definitely cancels out the drinks I had as well. So what do you get in that situation? A double whammy! No saddlebags on this collegestud! (I’m getting carried away here…)
So why the hell do I have a picture of the best sprinter of all time attached to a post about a crazy wedding party and dancing? (Do I need to mention I got a lot of compliments on my moves?) Well let’s think about it… Oh yeah because I did a sprint workout earlier in the day before the wedding.
I wanted to check out the University of Minnesota Track so I dedicated yesterday to a nice good old fashioned speed workout. I did a warmup of about two miles on the track and stretched out. Remember to stretch. Also know your limits! People overtrain all the time. After the warm up I decided to sprint it out! I shredded the track up. Hell, there was smoke jetting out of my shoes.
The workout was very difficult. I managed to sprint the entirety of the track about 8 times with a cool down lap between each sprint. By the end I was absolutely dead. I could not even imagine dancing like I did last night after being crushed by the track.
Lesson’s of the day? Don’t overtrain. Stretch. Stretch. Work hard but listen to your body and bring an “I can do it” attitude to every training session.
Oh yeah. This is college. Have fun.
