Bonding
Went for another ride yesteday, and I took my little brother with me. It was a great chance to reconnect to him. I’ll be moving out in August, so that’s real important to me. It’s also a chance for me to help him get in shape. Once my tire pressure was adjusted, it was a little easier for me, but definitely still a challenge, and I had to take some breaks (those hills are killers!). Chris on the other hand, well… kid has to build up his lung strength. We’re both asthmatics, so I think it’s even more important for us to fit in progressively harder cardio.
The best part though, was that it was the first time I’ve really had fun working out since I was a kid. I mean, don’t get me wrong. There’s a singular sort of victory one feels from pumping some major iron. But when I was out on the trail with my brother, I would have loved to continue for hours if I could.
If you aren’t having fun with your workout routine, switch it up! It makes it much easier, I promise.
