Burpee Workout Notes: 10% is 1000x Better than 0

These are workout notes - they start from this post

It’s almost 60 straight days since I started my burpee workout and I realize that the best thing about the work out is I can scale it.

When I am not feeling well, injure myself, or even just forget - I would still workout.

Why?

Because I accept doing 10% of a workout is 1000x better than 0.

The problem I had with other workouts, they are binary. I do it all at full force or nothing.

When I injure myself, I do nothing for a workout. I don’t do any workout and I just am there wasting away.

How do you think I will feel the next time I try to work out again?

HARD.

I hate this hard feeling. I hate it so much that I want to push myself as fast as I can to 100% and most likely, on the way there injure myself again.

Creating a vicious cycle.

Adopt and accept a workout for yourself that you can still do less of. Make the workout scalable, because you will be different every day and giving 10% today is 1000x better than 0% tomorrow.

Don’t forget to exhale on exertion
