Hello there, Pals! How are you today? It’s a sunny and cold (yaaay!) day here and I can’t tell you how good it feels to not get to work all sweaty and sticky and radiating heat like a wannabe star. I’ve just had a look at the news and…. no words. Let’s move on to what we’re here for. Exercise.
I started Strength and Cardio with Brian and it’s only Day 3 but every time I work out with Brian I get as sore as if I had just started my fitness journey… truth be told, I do lift a bit heavier because that’s what my body wants (cardio and HIIT are not my favourites right now) so I’m not entirely surprised but still. What program or challenge are you doing?
Today’s fact-finder fragment is about the origin of two expressions. The first one is ‘to go the extra mile’. Apparently, the phrase originates from the Book of Matthew referring to the practice of Roman soldiers who could force civilians to carry their gear for one mil. The phrase means to do more than what is expected. The other expression is: ‘to coax somebody to do something’. The word “coax” comes from the late 16th century. It originally meant ‘to make a fool of’ and later evolved to mean “to persuade or gently urge”. It likely comes from the obsolete word “cokes” meaning “fool” or “simpleton”.
All right Pals, I need to go now, I have a lot to do and pretending to be absolutely fine will be quite difficult today. (for several reasons) Have an easy day!
