Rise like Batman

So your down. You're behind on your homework, just broke up with your girlfriend, just got your back broken, you're severely unhealthy, you wake up some where and have no idea who you are.......Batman has been through most of those situations listed above(except the unhealthy part, mind you) and he always knows when to get out of the rut and win. Even if he ends up dying Batman always wins.......
He always wins....always
1. Find your purpose. This is your dawn after the dark (and yes I just typed that), this is the light in that really dark room, your purpose is your hope. Batman knows his purpose. Protect the people of Gotham while sticking to his one rule, that's it that's what keeps him going through the long haul. If he had done it for selfish reasons like vengeance or just the love of violence Batman would've either a.) destroyed Gotham b.) destroyed himself c.) died. It's purpose that drives us, it's purpose that binds us, it's purpose that defines us, with that in mind don't get bogged down if you can't find your absolute purpose it's different for everyone and continually changes. So as of now define your purpose......lose weight....gain muscle....make some friends....get back to health and get back out there.....and it really relies on your rut and who you are as a person.
2. Get organized. Clean your room, get a planner, make some timers these are very simple things that can get you way up there. You'll be surprised at how much faster you'll be and your efficiency will increase ten fold. Just don't over do it. Planning every moment from when you wake up to when go to sleep....unless it's just one of those days.
3. Get some money. Money is important and having at least a little bit of it will help a lot. Besides having the ability to buy things you need to rise out of the hole you're in a boost of confidence is what is also felt when given some cash. Of course Batman doesn't have to worry about this but he would be less without it.
4. Eat well and workout. Get the blood pumping. Running, push-ups, squats, pull-ups, and crunches is the best way to get in shape(or stay in shape), wake your brain up, and add some endorphins(a feel good hormone, stating that working out is basically like crack but without the side effects) to your day. Some good workouts can be found here: P4P Youtube Channel and for beginners P4P Workout
Here's a sample of the soon to come Batman Workout:
Fast Mile Run (Run as fast as you can)
Abs workout
Do as mush as you can for one minute:
Standard Push up
Regular Squat
Regular Pull up
Diamond Push up
Jump Squats
Chin up
5. Learn. Read a book, more Like Batman blog post, watch an educational movie, get smart this will enlighten your mind and get you thinking. I'm not going to get into it because I've already written a whole article about it.
So their it is. Depressed, just had a real bad....year that's how you get out of it. One last thing I also recommend you watch.......................................
So if you didn't see this coming I don't know why you're on my blog.
Also look at: Limitless, any sports movie, and The Shawshank Redemption.

Workout FAST like Batman

So your day is coming to an end but still need to get your Batman workout in, but you only have about fifteen minutes. What do you do?.........What would Batman do?
1. There's is one exercise that is certified to make someone huff and puff more than the wolf in the three little pigs in less than 5 minutes and it's called the burpee. The burpee is a squat thrust combined with a squat jump mixed together with a push-up thus offering a full body workout.
This is the how you do a burpee:

  • Get into a very low squat position leaning on your arms and your toes.

Very low squat position.

  • Get in a beginning push-up position.

Push up up position.

  • Get in to the down position of a push-up.

Down position of a push-up.

  • Get into low squat position again.
Very low squat position again.
  •  Jump into the air (squat jump).
Jumping into the air.
  •  Land in low squat position and repeat.

2. If you are in a really cramped environment and can't go outside the dumbbell clean and press is an excellent replacement for the burpee but you'll probably feel "the pain" more in your upper body rather than your lower body.
3. So that's how Batman would do it. If he was out in the jungle without in workout equipment for three weeks that's how he'd exercise on the fly. 
Happy New Years.

Think like Batman

We all think in a daily lives. To talk, read, write, learn, and solve problems. Batman probably would be the number one person who could set the world record for thinking, and probably the best at it. So how do you think like him? Read on.....
Batman thinking because he does that, often.
1.The first thing you should do is to "think" of your brain as if it's a muscle. Just like we can build our selves to be stronger and faster we can also build our brains to do the same thing, but in a different sort of way.
2. How do you get stronger and faster? You workout right? Well it's the same with your brain. Unfortunately we don't have a bunch different excercises that we just know about(pushups, crunches, squats, etc.) but I've looked and I can give you some.
3. Read ALOUD! Probably one of the most effective excercises for the brain is to read out loud. It'll improve comprehension, vocabulary, writing, speaking, creativity, etc.
4. Meditate. When most people think of meditation people think of "...mmmmmmm...." but it's actually an amazing brain excercise to improve focus, but to meditate one must learn how to meditate. Here's how I learned: howcast-How-To-Meditate
5. Write a personal journal. This is a great way to organize your thoughts. This also helps you keep focus and improve your over all writing skills.
6. Play videogames. All types of videogames are good to play, although they don't all improve the same type of skill(ex. shooters raise focus, hand-eye coordination, and response times as strategy games raise strategical thinking, problem-solving, etc.) Videogames is probably the most underrated brain excercise in the world, although it's one of the best.
7. Brain excercise websites. There is actually alot of good brain excercising websites out there to improve brain function through the various computer games provided to improve memory, awareness, etc. Unfortunately they come at a cost. If you can afford it by all means do use it because it would be one of the wisest investments you'll ever make, but for the people who can't afford sites like lumosity( a very, very good website for training the brain, but also very expensive) there is always freebrainagegames.com/ which is a very good alternative(if some what repetitive) website to choose.
8. So those are the excercises, here is the workout.
  • Brain excercise website
  • Reading aloud for 1 hour
  • Meditate for 15 minutes
Doing this(with at least once a day of writing in your journal) once a day will leave you with a clear and more efficient brain in about a week. It'll take sometime to get to Batman level but wait a little, you'll get there.
