A beast workout or self inflicted torture?

Aloha!

Last week as I was doing a short hike up Makapu'u lighthouse, I encountered this strong man and his two hundred pound sand bag. Shirtless of bull bronze with a headset on, there goes another bad-ass over achiever tackling an unconventional workout regimen.

On my way up the hill, I gave this man much props and some personal space. Seriously, who'd want to interrupt a man hauling a two hundred pound sand bag, grunting? But. But, when I came back down the trail and saw him still grunting, carrying that bag, well, photo opportunity it was.

Let me introduce you to a real BEAST...

Based on my observation, I think his routine was a one or two minutes break followed by a beastly carry and travel of 40-50 feet distance, then drop the bag to the ground for a quick break. This routine is repeated throughout the uphill and downhill with a total of about three miles.

Ok, I couldn't help it but smile when he passed me down the hill. Truly an amazing hard core workout. Of course, being a sassy that I am, I couldn't help but muster, "You can't quit now, it's the only path back home!" Made the man laughed yet he nodded in agreement.

Well, thank you for stopping by, friends. Just thought I'd share a story for my short term motivation to health and fitness. Thank you for your support. And as always, have a wonderful day.

Aloha!
