I’ll bounce around. I’ll go do a day of yoga, and then we’ll do some isometrics on another day, and then we’ll do some breath work, and then we’ll do lifting, or some pool work. My workouts... I don’t know fully what they’re going to look like. Today, I didn’t know what I was going to do. I was letting my body feel it. We had a pretty intense day today. I had 10 men over, and first we heated up in the sauna so we got hot and sweaty. Then we did an isometric stance, where we kind of stood in a horse, which is kind of like a sumo stance with our arms out. And we were doing a breathing pattern, which was kind of evolving. As our fatigue level increased, we began to increase our breath in order to sustain the position. And then we incorporated ice within that. After about 10 minutes standing in the stance, one-by-one, each guy got into this tub that was full of ice, and stayed there for about two minutes. And then we went back around and went back through it again, meanwhile holding the stance, and moving our arms. And at times coming up out of the stance and recovering and then we went into breath-holds, and back into the stance again. And kind of fatigued our system. And then we ate some charcoal, just to try to help us with the detox that our body went through. That was today’s work.
