Obstacle Point of View

Being an obstalete should change your perspective on how you get around. For example, you might eat healthier knowing that good calories and energy food create great fuel that your body craves. Here are some ways obstaletes view life…

1. When you walk by a fence you want to leap over it
2. A wall is something to climb
3. Garbage cans are meant to be jumped over
4. Barriers to foot traffic are for leapfrogging
5. That first floor gate thingy in the stairwell leading to the basement is something to step over and not swing open
6. Jersey barriers make great steps
7. Choose the path through the woods instead of the sidewalk or road “I wonder if I can run through there”.
8. Work desks are meant for elevated pushups or dips
9. A backpack can also be carried in the front
10. A basketball is a great push-up tool
11. Sandbags aren’t just for floods
12. Before a run you think, “I don’t weigh enough, maybe I need a vest to make the run more challenging?”
