Day 4, Week Five - 22 Minute Hard Corps | Cardio 3 + Core 2

Watch Video Below

I don't know about you, but doing LATE NIGHT WORKOUTS are really tough for me, at least it is for me these days!

Today's workout was Cardio 3 + Core 2 and my Dad and I are moving right along with our 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge. I can't believe that we are about to close out WEEK 5! =)

So let me tell you how I've been feeling lately:

- My legs are so much stronger. I feel that they are as strong as when I used to run obstacle racing events competitively. I noticed this when I was climbing the mountain in Asheville during the Spartan Super Race that I was filming last weekend.

- The definition that I lost when I was in Europe for two months is coming back. I can see it in my legs, and upper body. I am gaining my lean muscle again =)

- I am still struggling with the core exercises, but that has always been my weakness. I do see my abs carving out, and I'm excited to see more of them by the end of the challenge.

- My nutrition has been good, and it's getting better as the weeks pass by. I've been really taking it easy on my carb and sugar intake. I'll be getting more strict about it in the coming weeks.

- I only use water in my Shakeology, and just recently cut my love for peanut butter, at least for now =) My typical shakeology recipe has been Chocolate Shakeology, Water, and a whole banana. Sometimes I will replace the banana with half of an avocado.

So that's my updates! I'm feeling good and my Dad is doing great. I feel that my Dad's greatest struggle is getting his form right with the movements as well as the modified exercises. I have to stop the workout sometimes to make sure that he is doing the exercises correctly to ensure that he doesn't injure himself, and that he is getting the most out of it with, even with modifications. My Dad does modifications probably about 30% of the time. He's 71, and is really tough. He can handle a lot, but I have to make sure that he tones it down sometimes, and remind him that he needs to listen to his body, and not his ego, I know that we all go through this. My Dad just does not quit, he's always been a hard worker all of his life, so he treats his workouts the same way. I mean, he works out harder than a lot of the 20-30 something's that I see, it's pretty inspiring!

Anyways, here's our accountability video =)

How to Get Rid of Your 4 BIGGEST Exercise Excuses

Everyone loves a beautiful body that is free from excess fat and unsightly stretch marks. For this to happen, there should be some exercises that ought to be incorporated in your routine. This is sometimes hard because most people find excuses for doing exercises not realizing that it’s their own body that will not benefit from the many advantages associated with doing exercises. So for you to ensure that you do not keep making up excuses for doing exercise, it is important to remember the many benefits that come along with doing exercises. Instead of just hoping to do exercise when you find some time, consider scheduling it! The same way you would not like to miss an important meeting, ensure that you put the same weight on your scheduled exercises and you will find that excuses will actually not be an option.

One of the excuses that people use is that they are too tired to exercise. Well, we usually are also too tired to beat that deadline on our projects but we do! That same intensity should be applied on doing exercises. It is evident that life is usually exhausting and we all need some energy that will get our blood flowing and muscles moving. In this case, you should drink Shakeology which actually gets to provide your body with the much needed fuel that your body requires to operate at optimal speed. Shakeology results are often felt almost instantly because of the surge of energy that you get to experience, which enables you to finish your workout without feeling drained.

But most of the time, we drink Shakeology!

Another big excuse for doing exercises is that you need to first lose some weight. There are many ways one can lose weight and this is usually through brisk walking, hiking or biking. A work out at home is also ideal and this is usually with the use of Beachbody fitness programs that are effective if and when they are followed to the letter.

Another one is when someone says that they are too hungry to exercise. It is evident that one cannot exercise on an empty stomach so when this happens, you should not just postpone the whole idea of exercising altogether. Since there is the Shakeology protein bar that contains all the necessary proteins, consider making one and having them at hand whenever you need them. They are super-easy to make, super-nutritious and super delicious and another reason as to why you should have them is that it is an energy packed healthy snack!

Before settling on the excuses, consider embracing the aforementioned factors and in a few months, you will be glad that you did!

Shakeology is Clinically Proven - What does that mean?

I attended the Beachbody Coach Summit at the MGM Grand Las Vegas (June 19-21, 2014), and one of the biggest announcements during that weekend was that their number one continuity product Shakeology (which I love so much) was now OFFICIALLY "clinically proven". So the question is, what does that actually mean, and does that really make a difference? "Clinically Proven" can be defined as clinically tested, but their isn't really a definition for it in wikipedia or any online source.

Shakeology is Clincally Proven by Medicus Research - Watch the video!

Some people are skeptical because there are plenty of companies who claim that their products are clinically proven. So rather than questioning the company who is making that claim, why not research the company who actually did the testing? Medicus Research was founded in 2005, and is a premier contract research organization (CRO) for natural health products. They did a study on 50 people which was under the direction of Medicus Founder and CEO Jay Udani. The company's areas of expertise include: Dietary supplements, functional foods, medical foods and botanical drugs. I tried to find anything about the company that would make me skeptical about their study on Shakeology, but I could not find anything that would prove Medicus Research to be non-credible. I did find a few complaints from study participants who claimed to receive delayed checks up to 3 months, but that's it.

To be honest, I think it's definitely nice to use a product that has been through some clinical trials, but being on Shakeology for almost 4 years, and feeling like I have as much, if not more energy than when I was in high school, I think it's fair to say that Shakeology works. I have coached hundreds of people through their fitness programs, and have seen hundreds of lives changed because of it. I also know that there will never be a product suited for everyone because of certain allergies and medical reasons, so it's always best to consult your physician before trying something new.

Shakeology makes me go PLYO! 

 

This is what Shakeology has done for me:
- it gives me a lot of natural energy
- it reduces my cravings for the bad stuff =)
- it has opened up my taste buds for healthier foods
- it makes my life convenient because it's so easy to prepare
- it is very versatile depending on your health and fitness goal, I first started using it for weight loss, now I use it to maintain and primarily for the health benefits
- it has given me the opportunity to become a business owner and have financial freedom
- it has changed my life!
