Day 1 - Bodyweight Bootcamp

So I started Bodyweight Bootcamp via BODI, and this was my first day. I have never done this program before, but I have been doing some research and I feel that this is the program that I need to get me back on track. Back in the days, this program would be considered very easy for me, but as I mentioned before, I have fallen off the wagon for some time now, and I've been trying to find a program that is motivating enough for me to keep going. I think this is it. 

About Bodyweight Bootcamp:

"Bodyweight bootcamp is an interval training class for ALL FITNESS LEVELS. These workouts creatively mix a combination of strength training, plyometrics and cardio. This class is designed to help students find new boundaries that challenge their muscular endurance & strength" via BODI

Now I know that motivation has to come from within, and it also helps to have a community behind me. When I was a Bodi Partner, we used to have a ton of accountability groups, and that used to help before, but things have changed, and although I do believe in those groups, I feel that if it is time, than it is time, if you know what I mean. Whether you have someone behind you or not, you will know when you have made that decision. 

Anyways, it was a good first day back into my journey at 54 years old. I need to make this a commitment this time, so I made a point to post my workouts on this online journal to document everything. 

Now that workout is over, it's time to start my day! Thanks for stopping by =)

PS: Although I am no longer a BODI Partner as they have done away with the program, I am still an affiliate because I love the products so much, and have been using BODI since 2011. If you have any questions at all about the programs or supplements, feel free to message me on IG. I am no expert, but I will be happy to give you information about what I've done in the past. Ciao!

Hey guys!

It's been awhile I know =). Just wanted to update you on some things. I am currently revamping my blog, which I will simply call my online journal. 

So many things have changed since my last post almost 3 years ago! I am still currently based in the Philippines, and yes, still a full time content creator managing several online social media channels. My family YouTube channel "Lagalag Fam" is still up, and this is where I normally post our family stuff. I can't promise you any good content on there as we are just uploading videos there for memories. If you visit my instabio link, you can see our other social media channels relating to family. I do not post my work-related content as they are mostly no-face YouTube channels. 

There is one thing that has changed though. The online fitness company that I worked with since 2011 changed their structure. Here are a few updates on that. The name Beachbody is now "BODI". I am not currently a partner, but I am now an affiliate which means that yes, you can still ask me questions about their products and services, as I still proudly use their amazing products. I also still currently run an online group which can be found on the native fitness app that we have, so if you would like to join me there, and get some accountability, just send me a message for the link to join. 

Although I am in the Philippines, I do still travel especially back and forth to the USA. 

My project OCRTUBE is currently on the back burner since the pandemic unfortunately. I have seen a drastic change in the growth of obstacle racing (a huge down curve), and although I still love the sport dearly, it just seems like the OCR companies are not profitable as they used to be, but to be honest, that was the issue even back when I was fully committed with my OCR video projects, there was really never any money to be made. Most of my OCR projects were pro-bono, but it was ok because I was just having fun. Just FYI, I traveled to over 40 countries and provided free to very budget-friendly video production services to many companies, and it was such a great experience, but things have changed, and I have a family now, so the goals are a bit different =) These days, most people at the OCR events have very affordable cameras and smartphones that can shoot very good 4K video, so this has left me without work in the industry. For the time being, I plan to film the sport just for the sheer love of it, kinda like how it was back in the early days. I will also try to get into filming HYROX, and DEKA events soon, we'll see what happens! 

Anyways, those are some quick updates! Right now I am just focused on my work and investments, but most of all, being just a good DAD. Oh, and yes, I am in a very happy relationship too =) We are over 7 years together now, but most of you who have watched our youtube channel already know this. 

On another note, I have fallen off the wagon with my fitness (AGAIN), so that is another thing that I plan to share with you all....... my journey back to where I was before, to get back to living the healthy lifestyle. Work has been good, just took away from my health and fitness goals. Yes, I know....excuses =) 

It's good to be back!
