I recently remembered something a “friend” (I should actually say student of mine) told me once after my nth climb up the hill.

“They’re not really climbing”, she said, pointing to some other folks ascending them steep, steep slopes on a Saturday afternoon in May (and it was HOT my friend. Oh YES!).

It wasn’t just hot. It was one of those hot muggy days where it would occasionally rain for a bit throughout the day.

Hot rain.

It would NOT cool down at all after that.

If anything, it would get even more oppressively hotter, and on an “exposed” mountain like I climb, well, trust me - - you’d feel it.

Especially if you climb five times during the day as my “crazy” ass used to, hehe.

I later reduced this to 4 times a day in the morning, but I still felt it, but anyway . . .

This was one of those times I saw Kelly (her name) climbing when I was on my (I think) fourth slog up the hill.

Being she was only halfway up when I finished round #4 and started #5, I figured I’d climb WITH her.

And as we finally reached the top of that hill, I was almost DEAD.

Almost GONE.

The sweat was pouring off me like nothing before.

I was literally DRIPPING sweat every time I moved  - - a shower of sweat as it were.

PUDDLES were forming under me every time I moved. Quite literally, and my shoes were “squelching”.

I don’t know if I mentioned this in “16 inspirational fitness recollections”, but it certainly IS one of them.

And there are a lot more mentioned in that book . . .

And why do I tell you this?

Well, because THOSE are the sort of workouts (and the sort of commitment) that really get you in TOP shape.

That really get the WAIST whittled down.

And that really BURN fat off you like nothing else.

A close alternative, though not quite the same (but pretty damned good anyway) is the rope sprints I do, closely followed by another movement right after.

And the animal like movement workouts I do, mentioned in my latest book Animal Kingdom Workouts.

And so on and so forth.

It’s about workouts that burn fat, and BLAST that pesky FAT off your body quicker than anything else, and those workouts, my friend are the type of workouts I give you in all my books.

Go get ‘em here!

Best,

P.S. -Back from workout #2 (late, late night workout, and I feel GREAT!).
