So today was the beginning of my 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge! Not only will I be doing this with some amazing people in my online accountability group, but to my surprise, my 71 year old father has decided to take on the challenge with me, isn't that FRIGGIN cool or what!
If you would like to follow our journey, it's pretty simple, I'll be posting daily videos and blog posts right here on this blog, not only to share our challenge with you, but also to keep myself accountable with my health and fitness goals, as well as my leadership goals as a Beachbody Coach =)
My father and I just completed Day 1 which was Cardio 1 and Core 1. I've done the Cardio 1 workout before, but it still gave me a great workout, it's the CORE 1 workout that KILLED ME! Anyways, enjoy the video, and if you would like to join us, shoot me a message HERE, and let's workout together!
Day 1, Week 1 - 22 Minute Hard Corps

Another day at the UWF trails! We did a 4.6 mile trail run followed by a short and very HOT mountain bike ride! The next time you're in Pensacola, FL. make sure to pay a visit to these trails, they're pretty amazing!
Today's workout was SUPER awesome, and now it's time to RELAX before I begin my 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge tomorrow, wish me luck, OR better yet, join me! =)
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.
Don't you just get annoyed when you have computer issues =) So anyways, this was last night's workout which I was able to still get in late at night after a long day of traveling from Las Vegas to Pensacola, FL.
As soon as I arrived, I was taken by surprise when my daughter told me that she was also in town, so we were able to spend some time together along with my parents, brother, and sister and law. I didn't get my P90X workout done until after 10pm, and trust me, I was NOT feeling it, BUT I wasn't about to make an excuse because I've been slacking on my workouts for the past few months while I was traveling through Europe, so I had to make it happen guys! =)
I decided to do the P90X LIVE (via Beachbody on Demand), Round 15 workout which was Cardio and Core. It was a TABATA WORKOUT, 20 minutes in with 10 second break in between. It killed me late at night!!! Anyways, here's my accountability video, and message me if you want me to save you a spot on my upcoming P90X Online Accountability Group, you won't be disappointed, and you'll get KILLER results!!

So what's your health and fitness goal? Comment below, I'd like to know =)
I KNOW...... not a really healthy combination, but really....it's all about what you eat. Just like any other cuisine out there, Filipino Food can be healthy and unhealthy. I grew up eating a lot of filipino foods (oh BTW, I'm a Filipino ha ha), and trust me, most of the time I didn't have the healthy kinds, but BELIEVE IT OR NOT, there are actually some healthy options out there too.
The one thing that I've learned is to moderate, eat less portions, and eat more vegetables. Being healthy and active doesn't have to be crazy strict. In my opinion, it's ok to enjoy the foods that you love just as long as you moderate and stay active. It can be tough sometimes, I mean, CHECK THIS OUT, it took me a long time to switch from white rice to brown rice, it just didn't taste the same! Now I actually prefer brown rice, but I still consume white rice in moderation.
The key is to set goals for yourself, and place those goals as TOP PRIORITY in your life. I've seen so many of my relatives suffer as they aged because they didn't eat healthy. If consuming MEDS for the rest of your life sounds good to you, then eat all you want, but I'll have you know that most of the chronic diseases out there could all be prevented if only people made better food choices.

I am no nutrition expert, but I've learned so much as a Beachbody Coach. It's not just about working out, it's more about what you put in your bodies, 80% to be almost exact! I believe in treating our bodies like our temple, because frankly, it's the only one that we'll ever get, might as well take care of it. Your health is the best investment you can make, without good health, you cannot work, pay bills, have fun, travel, spend time with family, and all of those are pretty important to me, and I'm sure that they may be high on the list for a lot of you. So what's it going to be?

Do you need more FITNESS MOTIVATION? Feel free to message me here, I'd love to help you achieve some BIG GOALS! Looking forward to chatting with you soon =)

There is one workout day that I DREAD all the time, and that is LEG DAY! I would definitely say that my upper body is much stronger than my lower body, which is why lower body workouts are much more of a challenge for me, but I also understand that it's also the reason why I really need to focus on my weaknesses to build overall strength as an athlete. Embrace the SUCK right =)
Today's workout was T25 Lower Focus, and although there are no Crossfit snatches or weights involved, it is still very much a LEG BURNER. Crossfit athlete or not, this is a challenging workout for everyone! But hey guess what, there are also MODIFICATIONS too, so no excuses people =)
After my workout, my family shared a little bit about what they like BEST about me, they're pretty amazing...my family =)
As always, thank you for visiting my blog. I am currently challenging myself to not only workout everyday consistently until I begin my 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge, but to also create a video and blog post to help me stay accountable to my health and fitness goals, as well as my goals as a Beachbody Coach. I hope to inspire some of you to live a more active lifestyle and maybe also help PAY IT FORWARD. Until next time....... =)

Well I had a very PRODUCTIVE day I would say! Woke up, created a TO DO LIST, hiked up one of my favorite places in Vegas, and spent time with my family. Oh, and I did Body Beast =)
One of the things that I love about Body Beast is that you can take the workouts anywhere like the gym or an outdoor park. I love working out at the gym, but sometimes I love the convenience of working out from home with my Beachbody on Demand.
If you haven't been to Exploration Peak Park in LAS VEGAS, I encourage you to make a visit, it's a great place to hike, run, or just spend time with family. Feel free to watch my quick video below, and if you have an interest in Body Beast, just send me a message here, and I can help you out =)
