I wanted to share briefly how I have used RMAX to remain sane and healthy during my stay in Iraq.
The nature of my work demands extended hours in conditions that are less than desirable, however, I am still required to maintain a high level of fitness and readiness.
Because of commercial flight weight restrictions, this time around I was only able to bring my 15lbs Clubbells (last time I had my 20#'s).
When I have a spare 10-20 mins during the day I pick them up and swing away. Somedays I use double CB's , somedays I use singles.
I also find time for at least one Warrior Wellness / Bodyflow session daily.
I have been fortunate enough to find a willing training partner with whom, a couple of times a week, I can do some Softwork.
My small personal discovery has been that as I have sophisticated my single and double CB combo routines, I have started adding Bodyflow movements to the same (Including my infamous and not really pantented "Swoosh" combo). These CB /BF routines serve to remind me that a club is a weapon :D
Just like "There is no spoon", there is no separation to me between CB's, Bodyflow, and Softwork.
The addition of the movements to the CB combos have brought a "warrior flavor" to my personal practice that, in combination with the Softwork, has not only kept my mind "on task"; but helped me remain fit and relaxed during times of extreme psycho-physiological intensity.
RMAX has helped me stay SAFE and SANE while playing in a very different sandbox!
