“When the will is ready the feet are light.” ~ Proverb
All across the country graduation season is winding down. Colleges, Universities, high schools, even eighth and fifth grade learners are moving on to bigger and brighter futures thanks to their hard work and clever minds, and to those who lent them a hand.
Each part of the journey of transition includes a monumental climb up the proverbial hill. Push that boulder to the next plateau and a whole new set of plains extend out into the vast universe; a whole new view of life becomes accessible.
We salute all the villages who helped bring all these graduates along in their new destiny. We salute the graduates themselves. From their inspiration, we feel ready to take on our own new boulder and start the next new climb of our own.
Thus, for this week’s exercise tip we introduce the fun and age-old idea of an aptly named activity called “Hill Climbers” — one of our favorite do-almost-anywhere exercises:
From your hands and knees, lift up your buttocks slightly and shoot one foot back behind you. As you bring it back toward your chest, shoot the opposite foot back, alternating as if you are almost running in place. Keep your rear end and lower back down as low as you can and move as quickly as you can.
Alternate legs for one minute and then rest 30 seconds and repeat. Repeat as many times as you like up to 20 minutes in full. It’s a great quick leg and core workout you can do right in your living room, and…
Enjoy the climb, the journey is always worth the view.
See you on the PATH Ahead!
