Hot Attack


5 min yoga warm up


Notes:
1)          * denotes the fact that I added rounds. After yesterday’s 10 min workout I wanted something a little longer (18 min).
2)          this was totally kick ass.

Expose your skin to the sun! A light pinkness to the skin 24 hours after sun exposure is equivalent to ingesting 10,000-20,000 IU of Vitamin D. But perhaps the most miraculous thing about getting your vitamin D via sunlight is that UNLIKE consuming Vitamin D supplements, your skin has a built in mechanism to dispose of excess vitamin D so that you never get too much. We evolved in the sunlight. Our bodies need it or they are unable to fight off cancer and other horrible diseases. So just tell your dermatologist to f@$% off next time you get yelled at for having a little color.

Here are some more facts about your vitamin D levels:
1)          HEALTHY blood levels are greater than 30ng/ml
2)          for every 100 IU you consume, you raise your blood level by 1ng/ml
3)          adults and children should be on a multi vitamin plus an additional 1000IU of D supplement + 10-15min full, uninhibited sun exposure every day between the hours of 10am and 3pm. You will NOT make any Vit D in your skin if you are outside these hours.

Yesterday I went climbing and the 5.11 escaped me again! First of all I spent all my energy on my 10 min workout, then the first route I do is a 5.10+ that really should have been a 5.11. Next was the 5.11. The good news is I got half way up this time as opposed to 1/4 way up like last time! Monday I will take that sucker DOOOOOWWWNNNN. First thing.

Last workout of the week! Tomorrow we are headed up to the basin to enjoy the fresh powder and bbq. It’s still snowing up there = EPIC LATE SEASON!!!!!!!!!! They are staying open until June 17th this year which is an extra TWO WEEKS. (And that of course = TOO MUCH SNOW...but what ev. Gotta make the best.)

1)        JR 20 min (5s/55s -- 20 rounds)
