This is a chapter inspired by one of my heroes, Admiral William McRaven. He was know as The Bullfrog, the most senior Navy SEAL. Some of his accomplishments include the capture of Saddam Hussein, the mission to save Captain Phillips, and the mission to eliminate Osama bin Ladin.

While this is true, the good news is if you simply focus on getting stronger, you WILL become more firm and toned! Shoot for a minimum of two days strength training a week. Working the full body in one day is fine, but give yourself two days recovery if so.
For me personally, I CrossFit Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Strength train (barbell and dumbbell) Tuesday and Saturday. Some type of cardio for 30 minutes on Thursday. Sundays are off.
YOU DON’T NEED TO DO AS MUCH!!! This is MY routine that works for ME. The two days strength training, though, is a non-negotiable. Commit to doing SOMETHING to move everyday.
MOTION IS LOTION

Great time with great friends enjoying San Francisco. Pretty much hit all the highlights including a sunset cruise, Giants baseball game, Fisherman’s Wharf, and Alcatraz. Not bad for a three day tour!

Words to live by…
“I was born with a happy heart. I’ve always tried to let that shine even during my dark times. I’m one of those people who, even if things are not right, goes about trying to make it as right as I can rather than just lying around on my ass and wallowing in it all day. I think, “Well, I can either do this or I can do that.” I choose to get up and try to make it better if I can...
Of course, I try to improve every day. If there’s a better outfit, I want to wear it. If there’s a better song, I want to write it. If there’s a better record, I want to record it. If there’s a better movie, I want to make it. I will continue to be as good as I can be. And I intend to keep coming up with new ideas all the time.”

Hey Bo. What are you doing?
“Waiting for my friend Bobbi to finish up her acupuncture treatment.”
That’s sweet. Do you know she is 88 years old?
“What’s that in dog years?”
Sorry buddy. I’m not good at math. That’s why I went into biological science. A calculator is the only thing I need.

Short on time? You can still gain muscle and strength!
Taken together, the evidence suggests that drop-set training can produce results similar to traditional resistance training in less time but at the cost of greater fatigue and discomfort, which makes them a useful tool to incorporate strategically into training rather than as a wholesale replacement for traditional resistance training.
