Warning: Morning coffee and philosophy makes me weird. Top 10 Fitness Tips by Ninja Ken 1) Add weights to the end of your prop. Add cushion outside of the weight in case it bonks you and go slowly. If this is too easy, add weights on the end of the weights. If that's too easy, add more props at the end of the weights. You are now a master of everything. 2) Footwork. Find ways to stay moving the whole time, don't stop. Eliminate casual stances. See if you can start turning and moving the entire time. Try wide stances and shifting weight on each side while spinning. Try holding akward stances (but be nice to your knees) while spinning. If uncertain what to do, imagine the energy burst you get when you just arrive home and needed to go to the bathroom 20 minutes ago. You can even add "kicking the door down" pose. 3) Alternate tempos. 10 seconds furious speed (techniques you can do without much thought so you can focus) followed by 5 seconds of cooled down slow spinning. Do this for several hours. 4) Play better music! Find something so powerful that it makes you want to punch your walls down and scream laser beams at the heavens. Bonus points if you can. 5) Have a time for technical and a time for Hulk rage spinning. Hulk rage spin 3x a day in short bursts instead of all at once. Optional: Rip your shirt and roar at the end. 6) Call out to your friend and say "This new move I just made up can really get you in shape. Let me show you..." when you don't really have a move. Watch how fast your mind will be like "What did you do? What did youuuuu do????" and it will bark out some random move that will push you to your limit under the pressure of losing all trust from your friend who is waiting on the edge of their seat to find out how they can get in shape from your move. Yes, it's a hard life. But it's a hard world and you, my friend, are hardcore. 7) Rest. You body needs time to heal. In downtime, get on Facebook and give people advice all the things you wish you did more. Watch cat videos. By the time you're done, you'll be ready to work out again ;) 8) Spin poi while jogging. You can spin another prop too. There's a fun game you can play where you scream like a madman while brandishing your prop and then start running at random people. It's a lot like tag and most people want to play (so they run fast) 9) Eat Healthy. This is your fuel...except it's not really fuel. Because real fuel is toxic and probably will kill you. So maybe that's like eating normally. Eating healthy is your not fuel. Yes. That's it. 10) Do it with a friend to keep inspiration flowing. Preferably someone who is more in shape than you. Compare yourself with them incessantly until you feel tears streaming down your face because this is the healthiest outlook to have. Now work hard and rebuild yourself up soldier! But wait... that person is more in shape. CRASH! If you do half of these things every day, it might kill you. So be sure to do the other half because some of it is actually good for you.
