Fitness...one of the most important things you can do to
maintain the quality of your life is to maintain your health,
strength, and flexibility. This cache will give you a short set of
informal tips on things you can do. It's like circuit training
(which, by the way, can not only save some time on busy days, but
supplement the effects of exercise on one set of muscles by
countering with an exercise on a different but related set of
muscles)!
How much can you bench? (waypoint 1): The benchpress is
one of the best upper-body exercises; aim for lifting your body
weight (at a minimum). But don't try to get there all at once.
Think of it as 3 zones, something like "loosening the muscles",
"building muscle mass" (a lower number to start with), and
"strengthening" (the bigger number you're aiming for). And you'll
need 3 numbers here: the "zone" you're in, the bigger number, and
the address number of the establishment.
To get the latitude for waypoint 2: multiply the digits of the
bigger number, double that, and subtract it from the seconds of the
posted latitude. To get the longitude, multiply the zone by the
bigger number, subtract the sum of the digits of the address, and
subtract the result from the seconds of the posted longitude. On to
the next station!
Steady progress (waypoint 2): The best exercise program
is one you'll stick with, and the best way to stick with it is to
chart your progress. Set intermediate milestones, and strive for
those. If you did your benchpress correctly, then you're now at a
checkpoint -- how are you doing? Notice the business here has also
charted its progress, in terms of years in business: take that
number, subtract it from the address of this establishment,
subtract from that the number of letters in the first name of the
business, and add that number to the seconds of both the
posted latitude and longitude. This will give you the last station
on this workout.
Work to failure (final waypoint): It isn't as bad as it
sounds! For best results, do multiple sets of each exercise,
starting with maybe 12 repetitions, then 8 or 10, then 6; you
should use a weight that will allow you to do no more than the
desired number of repetitions. In this case, "to failure" is the
best way to get results! (In this case, "failure" will also mean
you haven't found a camo'd pill bottle, but check with us if you
have problems; we'd hate to leave you hanging!)
"Obstacles are those dreadful things we see when we lower our
eyes from the goal."
