Nelson - we heard that you had a handout for the Black team that had them working every morning and night on some stuff. I want it too! Can you make me (or maybe the whole Maroon team) a copy too? Or post it here.
That's a great idea Lauren! I'm happy to hear you are taking the initiative to become a better athlete! I will print out a copy for everyone on Sunday. In the meantime, if you want to get started right away, here it is:
The 8 Commandments
1. Thou shall not consume any fast food meals until October 1st, 2006. This includes but is not limited to Mc Donald’s, Carl’s Jr, Taco Bell, In N Out, Jack in the Box, Burger King and Wendy’s. If thou need food prepared quickly thou shall visit Togo’s and eat thou sandwich on wheat bread.
2. Thou shall not consume soda until October 1st, 2006. This includes but is not limited to Pepsi, Coke, Mountain Dew, Sprite, 7-Up, Sunkist, Generic Brands, Red Bull and other energy drinks. Instead, thou shall consume plenty of water, juices, flavored water or Gatorade.
3. Thou shall commit to sitting in each split; right, center and left for one minute each every single night from now until October 1st, 2006. Thou shall not skip one night regardless of where one is staying. And thou shall not cheat by holding oneself up or coming out of the split early.
4. Thou shall commit to doing 25 – 40 ground push-ups upon waking up every single morning.
5. Thou shall commit to doing 35 – 50 seal push-ups upon waking up every single morning.
6. Thou shall commit to doing 50 – 75 quick and fast pike-ups upon waking up every single morning.
7. Thou shall commit to doing 15 – 25 quick and fast windshield wipers upon waking up every single morning.
8. Thou shall not try any type of “diet” for the entire season. Because thou are still growing, going on a diet often cuts out portions of nutrients that will effect thou bone/muscle growth, digestive system, heart and kidney function. Instead, thou will follow commandments numbers 1 and 2.
I was delighted to hear how the commandments have so positively influenced many of the senior black athletes! I would love for all of you on senior black to come on this board and share your stories and tell everyone how in just one week you have already felt and seen the changes in yourself!
As well, I encourage everyone within motions and cheergyms.com to give the commandments a try. If you do so, be sure to commit yourself fully to every commandment until october 1st. I guarantee you wil be pleased with the results!
