...or just be in better shape. The Sk8 the State training regimen will whip any body into better shape (seriously, I've got the man-arms to prove it). Most of the Sk8 team attends roller derby practice twice a week, which is a great full-body workout. In addition to that, every day we are doing 200 crunches, 200 squats and 100 push-ups, and also skating at least 40 miles per week outdoors.
I realize this sounds like a lot, but if you spread the activity over a full day and incorperate my patented Twizzlers-and-ice cream-based reward system, it goes by really fast (for obvious reasons, I'm going to get someone else to write the nutrition blog entry). I start my day with 10 push-ups on the side of my tub and 40 squats while I brush my teeth. Then after a healthy breakfast (Butterfingers and Mello Yello) I do a set of 50 crunches and 10 more push-ups.
Now, being that I'm a writer and not a "productive" member of society, it is easier for me to work crunches, squats and push-ups into my daily routine. What if, for example, you work in a law office? Well if you have a three-walled cubicle, the squats are easy; simply stand periodically and say: "Did a fax come in for me?" then bend at the knees, keeping your back straight, until you are in a position similar to sitting in a chair, stand again and say: "How about now? Did the fax come yet?" And repeat.
After just a few weeks, you'll notice a dramatic change in muscle tone and strength. And, if you follow the above procedure for working squats into your workday, your coworkers will stop asking you to lunch, which will help you shed some of those unwanted pounds.
