Does anyone here incorporate their firearms or ammo into their exercise routine?
One of the exercises I like doing is arm circles: sideways, up, and then forwards in a repeating pattern with each set being for a steadily decreasing amount of time until I get down to zero. Going for increasing amounts of time only helps so much, so I figured I'd add some weight. I don't have any small weights, but I noticed my two BHPs lying on my desk and decided to use those. Let me tell you, a little weight added to the end of each arm makes a difference when doing arm circles!
I also noticed a safety training element to it: after checking to make sure they were unloaded, I cocked and unlocked each of them and kept my trigger fingers extended while exercising. Sad to say, there were times when I found my fingers flexing and entering the trigger guard area. I guess I need more work on that. It seems to me that if my fingers can remain disciplined even at the end of an exhausting workout when other parts of my arms are shaking, I'll have gained something valuable.
What do you think? Do you do something similar?
