The Sword Art Online (SOA) Workout

Hey everyone, this is T.

Contrary to popular belief, I am alive and well. I do apologize for my silence, but this is due to some experiments that I am attempting that, should they be successful, will allow me to provide you all with more and hopefully better content.

So, I have to admit that since the Holidays, I've been a little lazy about going to the gym, especially now that I'm working prior to my final semester at school. Since New Years, however, I have been doing some body weight exercises that have been keeping me in pretty good shape.

This is my review of the Sword Art Online (SOA) Workout by Neila Rey.




For more details, I recommend going to the website, but basically it is a workout that focuses on 

"Shoulders, forearms, chest, wrists, biceps, abs, lateral abs, quads, calves, glutes, triceps, lateral abs, core, cardiovascular system." -neilarey.com

This being said, I only felt it in my forearms, biceps, and triceps. I did also perform this exercise with a wooden katana, so my movements were pretty close if not accurate. I'm not sure if a steel katana would improve the workout or not, but go ahead and try if you can do it safely.

I have to say that is was not my favorite of Neila's exercises, some of which I want to post about in the future, but if you are looking for a sword-based workout that focuses on the arms, then this one is for you.

Anyway, that's it for today. I hope you all have a good day.

Nick E. Stanley Part 1: The Move

In the not to distant future, in a time and detention much like our own, there lived a boy who loved Pokémon. He descends from a long line of distinguished trainers, from a family that has served both people and Pokémon alike since before the Great Kalos War over 3000 years ago. His family, House Stanley, is one that knows the value of Normal Type Pokémon, the type that most but the newest of trainers tend to shy away from due to the lack of spectacular moves. 

The following is an account of this trainer's journey, a trainer named Nick E. Stanley, the Son of Norman. An entry from his journal.

June 2, 2XXX,

Well, it's official: I'm off to Hoenn. Mom told me last night after she spoke to dad on the phone and I have to say this is going to be cooler than Ice Path.

I'm pretty sure I'll miss my friends and especially my cousin, Whitney, but Hoenn sounds like an awesome place. It's sunny, there are beaches everywhere, and there's even a space station in Mossdeep City. I also heard some weird rumors about the place, like how the sun never set in Hoenn and how they never heard anything about Fairy type Pokémon, but I'm sure thats an exaggeration.

Anyway, I'm just about to get onto the plane. I can't wait to get my first Pokémon!

Smell You Later!
