“Never confuse movement, with action” – Ernest Hemingway

Busy work is our mortal enemy.

“Movement” in the quote above refers to taking care of the pressing and loud items in our day. The emails. The text messages. The bills. Parts that need to be done eventually, but are *seemingly* far more urgent in the moment than they are in reality. For at the day’s end, as we climb into bed, the days that were consumed with such busy work leave us feeling the least fulfilled. We may find ourselves saying to ourselves, “What the hell did I do today?”

This is because shear movement does not push us towards our goals. Only action does. Action is premeditated effort, driven by purpose. It’s calculated energy, versus reactive motions. Swimming forward, versus treading water.

This quote urges us to recognize the difference between the two. As we review our recent days, where are we in motion, and where are we in action?

Wing It (AMRAP – Rounds and Reps)

AMRAP 25
500M Ski Erg – BUY IN*

Then… AMRAP of:
10 Box Step Ups
10 Dumbbell Bicep Curls
10 Overhead Tricep Extensions
10 Calf Raises
10 Roll Outs

You choose weights and pace for your recovery day work out.

Score: Rounds and Reps during 25 Min.
Everyone Starts with 500M Ski. Only once!

Then you will work on the rest of the Movements on repeat for the remainder of the AMRAP.

If you need a harder workout today, use heavier weights for step ups and dumbbells. If you need a true recovery day, don’t use weights for step ups and use lighter weights for dumbbells. Can substitute any Ab movement for the roll outs.
