A huge part of “constantly varied, functional fitness” is learning to perform new skills. Play new sports. Consistently do things for yourself that elicit a response! Whether its mental or physical, challenge yourself and remind yourself that you can overcome any obstacle in your path. Push the boundaries and explore whats possible. What is it that you’ve always wanted to do? You’re not getting any younger. Reading this, realize this is the oldest you’ve ever been and the youngest you’ll ever be. Get out there and make it happen.

Speaking of getting out and trying new things, Anne Harty has been saying that it would be fun to get together a group to go out to the Sac State Aquatic Center and do some rowing out on the actual water. (Not that the view in the box isn’t very scenic, but…) I would love to do this—anyone else? Anne, if you’re seeing this, thought it would be great to get the ball rolling!

How funny! Jessica Santos and I were just talking about that the other day. I would love to do some rowing at the Aquatic Center. Count me in.
Crystal

I’d be interested in rowing for real. We also have a few collegiate rowers in the box (Picco?).
Matt P. bought a discus and shot put, which have sat around unthrown or putted since their arrival. I think we need to get a group to check those out. As a reference, the men’s shot world record is 75’10” and the discus wr is 243′ 1/2″. I’m betting we need no where near that much space.

I have thrown my shot put… It does not fly well. I think it has aerodynamic issues. It also seems very heavy. The disc is the worst frisbee I have ever owned.
Jennifer R.
Try using more chalk,

I find it’s really difficult to get dogs to catch the discus, so that’s another strike against it.
Angela Picco
Count me in for rowing! The water is so much better than the rowing machine…no comparison. And I am sure Maggie would be in as well.
KW
Yay, glad folks are interested in rowing! I can call the Aquatic Center about availability/schedule/pricing for groups and put up a sign-up sheet in the gym to get email addresses for interested parties so we can coordinate.
Matt_P
Do it, do it.
Josh Stonier
Yes! Do it do it. I’m in!
Carol Penney
I have been thinking about getting a new bike!

Great post Josh! I whole heartedly agree! Reminds me of an aha moment I had when I got to the top of Mt. Whitney…no matter who you are and what you believe your limitations to be…set a goal. Do whatever is in your control to make it happen, it can be done.
