The Incremental Gym

Life is what you make it. And I am fortunate enough to socially engineer my work so that I can do weight training throughout the day. Ten minutes here, 10 minutes there. By the time I go home in the evening I'll have completed a one-hour weight workout. Sure, I use a rock painted gold as my "weight set." The rock was once thrown through the office window by vandals late one Friday evening. Someone got drunk and was mad at the newspaper for one reason for another and took action. I made the most of the opportunity by turning the vandal's weapon into my own personal weight set.

Doesn't seem like much, 10 minutes here, 10 minutes there. But over the year, even doing weights one day a week at work, I can get in 48 hours of weights (minus four weeks off for vacations). That's the best part of being a member of The Incremental Gym. It's all about staying disciplined. Building positive habits. Over time good things happen.
