What's up guys!
I haven't posted a workout blog in awhile, so I'm excited to bring you this workout that I did a few days ago. As most of you all know, I have been doing Beachbody-Type Workouts for a little over 9 years now, and I absolutely love it. One of the best things that I love is the structure, because it works! What I enjoy even more is changing up the workouts to fit some of my goals. For example, you may not like all the movements in a particular Beachbody Workout, so that's not an issue, you can customize it to make it your own, and I do this all the time. Now if you are new and just starting out, it might be best to stick with the original program until you have gained some experience in proper form, and how to customize workouts for best results. With almost 10 years of doing Beachbody Workouts, I am a big fan of changing things up as long as it works the same muscle group or goal. This works exceptionally well for people who enjoy working out at the gym or outdoors!
Let's get into the workout. One of my favorite Beachbody Trainers is Shaun T, his workouts just kick my ass, and I love it! I also like the fact that a lot of his programs are geared towards athletes, and for what I do as an extreme sports filmmaker, it helps me when I'm out hauling my camera equipment up huge mountains, and chasing some of the fastest athletes in the world.

A lot of Shaun T workouts do not require weights, so what I like to do is "add weights" to certain exercises, and it really results in better performance for me. Now before you go and start adding weights to these workouts, please make sure that you know what you are doing, and consult your physician. I can assist with this, but before you speak with me, please do consult your doctor to find out what you can and can't do, its for your safety. =)
