Leave it to a Russian to express this clearly:
“Once you have mathematical certainty there is nothing left to do or to understand,there will be nothing left but to bottle up your five senses and plunge into contemplation. While if you stick to consciousness,even though the same result is attained,you can at least flog yourself at times,and that will,at any rate,liven you up. Reactionary as it is,corporal punishment is better than nothing.”
It is with that quote in mind that I plan my workout schedule. I spend my days in an unnatural way –sitting still,typing. A few times each week I get the opportunity to kick the shit out of myself and let me tell you:Fyodor was right. There’s nothing quite like abusing your body with the things it was designed for in the first place –running,lifting,pushing,pulling,carrying,dragging. Add the occasional punch in the face (“sparring”) and…aaaaah that’s better.
