PROOF OF LIFE

COT
• Don’t be afraid of doing something different – even if it feels stupid or you think that it’s not a better way of doing something.
• It is good for you to keep your mind and body guessing and not to fall into a predictable pattern or routine.
• For example, running backwards is not only less strenuous on your knees, it increases more leg muscle usage and burns 30 percent more energy as running forward at the same pace. It also uses different muscles.
• Leading this workout backwards was definitely harder for YHC than anticipated, it forced a lot of thought, which is definitely opposite normal for me.
