Circuit Training

When you are have been in the field for a while your mind starts to run. For me, the field it is a time to reflect. Even though the sole purpose of field research is to bring back data and present it to the public, I have selfish motives involved as well. Just because I am dedicating 3 months in the field to the study of a fantastic beast doesn’t mean this time doesn’t involve self-reflection. Lets just lay it out there, one of my hobbies is Circuit Training. I love being able to combine strength workouts with endurance exercises. It gets lonely out in the field and not having a new station to rotate to after 45 seconds can be a downer. I end up doing squat thrusts using a tree trunk as my base and when it is time for me to move to my next station I notice the closest thing that resembles exercise equipment is light brush that could potentially be used to pump out some sit-ups. What I am trying to get at is that I also use field research to reflect on the things I truly miss. Its not all about the pigeons. When I am out there, I realize I NEED circuit training. I took this picture of Barabra, Deb and Brian about 2 months ago and I always bring it with me in the field.

It is probably a bad idea to bring it since I start to miss my gym more, but these guys push things to the complete limit. I know Deb got her start with Circuit Training at Curves for women. Curves has a great Circuit Training program but people who come out of there think they live on a higher plane. Not sure why. Their Circuit Training Programs are the standard 30 seconds per station and are designed to firm, tone and help lose weight just like all other programs. I know Ballys has some great programs across the country but most of their equipment is generic. The thing I like about circuit training is that it is structured to provide a full body workout. I can tone my glutes, buttocks and strive for some rock hard abs. Don’t get any ideas! :)

    Dicky, have you made the district 3 director, bob tausher, of the NPA aware that you are spending NPA money on personal workouts while in the field?

    Terry,

    Bob and I are good friends. Our bond actually was glued over an intense afternoon doing dumbbell squats. He has some firm glutes, I can tell you that much.

    this is criminal. no wonder the NPA cant accomplish anything lately. There income is being skimmed by a bunch of fruits doing outdoor workouts in the woods together.
