Camino Fitness Week Two

Congratulations on last week’s training, you are off to a great start!

How does your body feel after seven practice sessions of the Daily Dozen? And by the way, 6 days of DD = 72 minutes of strength training - that’s most people’s gym session, all in the time it takes the coffee to brew!

How easy/hard was it to make time? Changing habits can be awkward. Try folding your arms the ‘wrong way’. It doesn’t feel right. Some people say 21 days is the magic number to create a habit. It’s different for everyone, but repetition is the key to learning regular tasks.

Also, if you make an association with something, it’s easier. For example, when I do _________, I do the DD right afterwards. For me it’s pushing the button on the coffee machine or kettle.

The purpose of this week’s training is to continue to practice the Daily Dozen and to add a weekend hike to round things out.

Choose an easy or moderate goal for the first hike. It could be urban, wilderness or a mix. The 120 minutes is a suggestion, if that feels like too much or too little, adapt as works for your fitness level.

This is the end of the adaptation phase. Next week is the beginning of the foundation phase
