Crazy Guy

For the last few months I had seen this guy at the gym doing crazy fitness routines. He seemed very fit and I saw him reading this book called"Hyperfitness" by Sean Burch. I have this book and while it is not for everybody, it gives me some ideas. I found out the other day that his name is Randy and he is a bike racer. Today he was showing some other poor soul at the gym some exercises. I joined in on the fun and learned a few new exercises. One is walking on your hands while your feet are on a board with rollers. It provides an unstable surface while engaging your core. Another was to do push ups with uneven hand placement while lifting one leg or the other. The last was to do a plank while lifting a dumbbell and supporting yourself with the other hand. I know these descriptions sound odd but, trust me, they are hard. I have to look for new ideas to make exercise interesting and to challenge my body in new ways. It never gets stale!
