I think it's easy for us to get down on ourselves if we don't feel like we're working hard enough/eating well but we should take a few minutes to appreciate what we can do.  I naturally assume our fitness level here is average and am surprised that, say, doing 10 crunches should be a piece of cake but it's really not!  The more I do, outside the gym, the more I appreciate it.

So, let's hear it for things we've been able to do recently that would impress the non-gym rat...

I'll start w/ what made me think about this. Our warm up at parkour (my favorite part of parkour because, as I told the instructor, I love doing burpess because it's the only part of the class where I feel success) was two times through of: 15 burpees w/ tricep push ups and then high jumps hands on the vault; 10 jumps onto the wall and back down; 20 precision jumps (high jumps, knees up, land as lightly as possible, repeat) and spiderman walks across the floor. It was easy but it occurred to me later that it would be really challenging if you didn't work out.  Of course,I can't imagine anyone wanting to try parkout if they weren't somewhat fit.  But then again, there are people who have never moved off the couch and decide they want to learn to ski so who knows?
