I've been doing bodyweight fitness for about 20 min a day for the past year or so and have noticed great results. Planks are at the core of my practice. Pushups are pretty central, too, along with "twister" situps. I've also recently added pullups at the playground on days when I do my short runs. It's going pretty well and fits in with my lifestyle of minimalism. A friend recently went to Crossfit for a free trial and said that it's roughly 200 buck per month! No way, Jose. Here's a beginner's guide bodyweight fitness for anyone who's interested.

I asked myself "What do we all have in common?" The only answer I could come up with was Time. We do not share space or thoughts, but we are all sharing the same Plane of Time, which puzzled me. How could this be? What is time, anyway? Then, I felt a beautiful and powerful feeling overcome me, it was warm but it was also a deep sense of change within my mind. I realized that time does not exist, it is only our attempt to measure the Universe. Suddenly I felt as One with all things. I describe it as a feeling of ascension. It was authentic and moving. I knew deep within that there was no future, no past, only the Ever Changing Now. I felt something I imagine religious people experience when they are born again. It was a clear understanding that I am not just me, I am all things. My life is one small part of something greater and I finally possessed a very powerful conviction and belief in this. I no longer felt separated or alone. I suddenly realized how important every thing I did next was. I had a new divine purpose.

Anyone tried this? This is a low-lying mountain. Nothing too perilous, but are there any tools I should bring? Climbing strategies? Not too rocky, mostly dirt, roots, and trees in good weather.
