No really, we do that?
by: eric | June 5th, 2007 |
I’m a bit overdue on blogging, so in lieu of the normally brilliant and insightful commentary on the state of…er something… I usually put here I thought I’d share something that we at 8th Light have started doing.
Push-ups.
Every hour. Yes I realize it’s nuts, but look at a typical day for me. Wake up too late. Rush to get ready. Get distracted by something on the computer (today it was RubyCocoa). Realize that I won’t make it to the gym in time to lift weights. Work too late. Come home, eat, maybe help my future step-children with their homework. Suddenly it’s 10, and I haven’t worked out.
Aha - but I did 150 push-ups today. I think - I don’t actually count. Here’s how the 8th Light Fitness Plan (published Spring 2008) works. Every hour, on the hour, do push-ups. We started at 10 every hour and that was pretty hard once upon a time, now we’re up to 25. Well most of us. Today I saw two of the guys in another part of the building doing them, and I figure that if it caught on amongst 8th Light it can catch on elsewhere. After all we’re not that weird. Are we?
October 18th, 2008 at 06:32 PM Yes, you are that weird. But that's a good thing! I think you've inspired us to start doing hourly jumping jacks down the road at Obtiva.
October 18th, 2008 at 06:32 PM Hmm... jumping jacks...does that look weirder push-ups. I'm honestly not sure, but I'm smiling :).
