Pick up something heavy and carry it up something steep. Get the heaviest thing you can safely handle -- backpack, auto tire, sandbag, weighted vest, whatever -- and find the steepest hill or a flight of stairs in easy striking distance. Get your heavy thing to the top as many times as you can in 40 minutes. Take as few 12-count breaks as you need to finish, and be careful going down on noodle legs or you'll fall.
Honor the chalice. When you're done, stand at the top and pay homage to the chalice by reciting your interpretation of the devotional from Chapter 15 of the Cabal Fang Study Course -- feel free to make changes as needed to fit your spiritual worldview: "O Holy Chalice, blood of God and Goddess, blood of ancestors and kin, blood of friends and heroes, blood of sacrifice and nourishment -- thank you for your love, support, and inspirational example. But most of all, thank you for my rich inheritances—material, emotional, spiritual and philosophical. Blessings to you all; please know that you all live on in me.” If it wasn't for the people who came before you, who carried some very heavy chores and responsibilities up some very steep inclines, you wouldn't have most of what you have today.
