22 Minute Hard Corps REST DAY!

Watch Video Below

Sorry for the LATE POST =(, but I got a bit lazy yesterday since yesterday was my REST DAY from my 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge =) I didn't completely rest all day though, my brother Fermin invited me to go for a 10 mile mountain bike ride followed by a 5K trail run at the UWF Trails in Pensacola, FL, couldn't turn that down! But boy, it was really HOT!!

I did take it easy though and didn't do any fast riding (tried not too) or running, and then I ended my day with a Netlix and Chill Marathon =)

What do you do on REST DAYS?

Mountain Biking UWF - Workout of the Day!

Mountain Biking UWF - Pensacola, FL

Changed up my workout today and did a 15 mile mountain bike ride with my bother Fermin and his friend John. "Back in the days", riding trails used to be my sport of choice, but that was like 8 years ago, and since then I've probably been on a mountain bike only a handful of times. BUT...after today, I plan to start riding more often, so I'm pretty excited about that.

We rode the UWF (University of West Florida) Off-Road Trails where I do a lot of trail running, but I'll have you know that biking the same trails with a steady pace with the Florida humidity proved to be a great challenge. The goal was to hit about 18-20 miles, but my leg started cramping at mile 12, so we decided to call it a day at 15 miles, "thanks guys" =). I'm looking forward to incorporating more mountain biking into my daily Beachbody Workouts, should be fun!

Here's a really quick video of our HOT ride today, we'll be going again tomorrow =)

I would like to say that if it weren't for the Hammer and Chisel and P90X Workouts that I do, I would probably be in pretty bad shape as I am writing this, but I feel great! Drank my Chocolate Recovery drink and I'm ready for tomorrow's trail and bike workout.

Mountain Biking in Guatemala - OX Expeditions

 Mountain Biking Guatemala - Watch Video below!

I finally got around to creating a quick video on this Pilar Push Mountain Bike Tour that I did back in Antigua, Guatemala earlier this year (March 2014). There were many outdoor adventure outfitter companies in Antigua, but an Aussie girlfriend of mind that I met in Nicaragua told me about OX Expeditions, so I had to check them out.

OX Expeditions offers adventure tours from mountain biking, volcano treks, surfing, rock climbing, and zip line. They also have a place called Base Camp for adventure seekers to crash in between expeditions. I met Victor, the guy who runs the show at OX, and he's a really cool guy, and quite the outdoor enthusiast. If you are an adventure traveler, and you are in Antigua, Guatemala, then this is the place to stay and explore the highlands.

During my Pilar Push Mountain Bike Tour, I actually got injured going downhill. It happened about half way through the 3-4 hour bike trip, so I mostly filmed and grabbed footage of my tour guide Mehedhi, and Robin from Amsterdam who also joined me on the tour. The Pilar Push is an advanced tour and is definitely not recommend for the beginner. Mehedhi, who I just heard is no longer with the company, he was an awesome tour guide with a lot of experience and information about the highlands and Guatemala itself. He made the trip very educational and extremely fun!

I plan to go back to Antigua in the beginning of 2015 as I plan to backpack the Yucatan, and will begin my journey from Guatemala. So you know where I'll be - OX Expeditions and Base Camp! =)
