Yeah, you must have started from a pretty solid base though. I've looked at some of those CrossFit videos. I don't know if I've got the gymnastic body or not.
Speaker 1
No, no, no, I started from scratch. Remember like I almost died in October and I had to rebuild my body. And so I started from scratch and I don't do CrossFit style Olympic rings where I just looked around and saw like in gym, Olympic gymnastics, if you look, the men are always so jacked, but in those, within the men who compete, they compete in different things like on parallel bars, on floor and this and that. And out of all those jack guys, you know the ones who are just the most jacked, like on muscles upon muscles, it's always the guys who do Olympic rings. There's no swinging none of that. You know, I mean, nothing goes crutch, but that's a whole different methodology, but I just decided to go old school. And also something I can do forever, which is like very graceful. Your muscles are being used every moment. There's no momentum. You know, like if you use momentum too much in Olympics, it will get dinged. It's a lot of muscular control and it's become my new favorite thing. Highly recommend anyone 50 bucks on Amazon, get yourself a set of rings, go to YouTube. There's all these great people
Speaker 2
like showing you how to work out using rings and they'll change your life. It really is my favorite thing these days. Going to go ahead and put myself down for some Olympic rings, $50. Yeah.
Speaker 1
Look, you can hang there from a tree branch. You can hang there from anywhere. You have a gym with you wherever you go.
Speaker 2
I definitely have a little bit of a garage set up right now. I've had some random weights here and there, but I got to tell you, I'm probably not going to go back to the gym. I've already canceled the subscription. I feel like I get a lot more sweating it out in the garage and 105 degrees than I ever did, you know, in the gym with a thousand people walking around.
Speaker 1
It's got to be interesting, man, because once things open up, so many of us used to think the gym was the only way to get fit and we found that there's alternatives and that we might like the alternative better that being inside a space with a bunch of other smelly people where I can, uh, rings, I do outdoors. I'm getting the sun. It's an outdoor workout. It's been a game changer for me. I could just go back, sport it by the ring forever. So you'll have to like get me off the subject. All right. Fair enough.
