My ALS Ice Bucket Challenge VIDEO!

 ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

I was nominated to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by my brother Tony from Las Vegas, so here is my video to show proof that I completed the challenge, and donated to the ALS Association.

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge - 2014

I'm going to be honest, when I started seeing everyone, and their families dumping ice cold water on themselves all over the internet, I was like "is this even a real challenge, and for what?", I actually thought it was pretty silly, but as soon as I found out what it was all about, then I totally understood. It's the simple things like this that can make a huge impact, and although I was not a fan of pouring ICE COLD WATER over my head, I am now glad that I did because every person that watches my video, and shares it could make a huge difference.

I know that there may be more people who might not understand what the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is all about, or where it came from, so I just wanted to share this touching video about where it all started. Please watch the video below:

How to Make Cheap Sand Bags for Spartan Training

 Cheap Sand Bags for Spartan Training

So my brother and I are always looking for ways to workout not just for us, but for the people we help prepare for obstacle course races such as Spartan Race, Savage Race, Warrior Dash, and the OCR World Championships. Most of our workouts are inspired by a combination of the P90X workouts that we do, as well as the Spartan WOD's. We wanted to do a group SAND BAG WORKOUT, but looked into getting the "pancakes' that you see being used at the Spartan Races, and it was too costly to purchase 30 of them, so we improvised and made our own. We watched a ton of videos on youtube, and found some good ideas. Most videos were based on someone making a just a few sand bags, and most of the time, it was for themselves. We were looking for the most cost effective way because it wasn't going to be just for us, it was going to be for a group of 30+ people. We figured that for half the cost of one Spartan Pancake (20-30lbs), which is about $60-$65, we could buy our own supplies and make 30+ sand bags ranging from 15lbs to 25/30lbs. So instead of having just a couple sand bags, now we have enough for a nice Sand Bag Group Workout.

Spartan Pancakes are PRICEY! 

Check out the SAVINGS:
30 Spartan Pancakes at $60 each = $1,800 (not including tax and shipping)
30 Homemade Sand Bags = $35
Total Savings: $1765  <---------------------------<<<

Sand Bag Supplies Needed: (We purchased everything from a local Home Depot)
- Regular White Sand Bags ($.45 cents each)
- Duct Tape, about $6-7 per roll
- Zip Ties (4 per sand bag)
- Extra Heavy Duty Trash Bags
- Sand (some people use other things to stuff their sand bags other than sand, well guess what people, then that's not a sand bag!)
*Total cost for all the supplies for 30 sand bags was roughly $30-35. And this was not even looking for deals!

Tools:
- Bucket to put sand in
- Weighing Scale
- Pocket knife

 Let's get started:

1. Seal the "already sealed" end first which will be the "bottom". (This is optional) Leave the other side open so that you can stuff it later. We wanted to seal both ends because it makes for a good handle on both ends of the sand bag.
- Simply roll the sealed ends together
- Duct tape the ends nice and tight
- Use to zip ties to make it secure
- Duct tape over the zip ties (don't cut the ends of the zip ties, just roll it around the ends, this makes a really nice handle for the sand bag)
- Duct tape over the top (vertically), then use duct tape again to secure (horizontally)

2.  Fill bucket with sand and weigh it to your desired weight. The bucket weights about 2lbs, so if you want to make a 15lb sand bag, make sure that the weigh scale reads 17lbs. For a 25lb sand bag, that means weighing out 27lbs etc.

3.  Dump the sand that has been weighed into a Heavy Duty Garbage Bag.

4.  Twist the access garbage bag making sure to get most of the air out of the bag. Duct tape the bottom and the top of the twist, then with a pocket knife (be careful), cut off the access.

Twist

Duct tape bottom and top

Cut off access (please be careful)

Duct tape the two twisted ends together (fold top to bottom then duct tape together) to keep the sand secure.

5. Place heavy duty garbage bag into the sand bag that you "bottom" sealed earlier.

Once you have placed the heavy duty garbage bag filled with sand into the sand bag, simply seal the top end just like you did the bottom end earlier.

6. And the final product, you're very own homemade sand bag!

We made some 15lb and 25/30/lb sand bags. Now you are ready to do all kinds of workouts! Here are some sand bag workout ideas:
- Running with sand bag (you can run with two as well, one on each shoulder)
- Squats
- Bicep Curls
- Jump Squats
- Squat thrusts
- Sand bag throws
- Weighted Push Ups
- Skull Crushers
- Weighted Bear Crawls
And much more!

Now these homemade sand bags probably won't last as long as the Spartan Pancakes, but they are budget-friendly and very easy to make and re-make.

Incorporating the Sand Bag into your Workouts

And then when you're done working out, just relax and get on a LONG BOARD and enjoy life! =)

Push Up Challenge - Drive To Inspire

 A Drive to Inspire - Pensacola, FL 2014

Today I met up with a good friend Ankur Man Shrestha. Ankur is on a mission to do 50 consecutive push ups in 48 states within 25 days. Originally from Nepal, Ankur is currently a student at the University of Cincinnati. He was inspired to raise social awareness to fight obesity because of an email he received from the University of Cincinnati’s College of Engineering & Applied Sciences Graduate Admissions Office. The email stated that there would be an increase in his 2014-15 tuition and fees due part by a health insurance premium. Ankur said “I exercise and work out my body every day. I cook and eat healthy, and at all costs, avoid junk food (burger, fries, and soda). Then why do I have to suffer this hike in my premium?”

A Drive to Inspire - Ankur Man Shrestha

This was the beginning of his fight to help end the trend of obesity. I totally relate with Ankur, we are both on a mission to fight the obesity trend, and that is why I met up with him, along with other members of Pensacola Fit Club to do 50 consecutive pushups at Martime Park to raise social awareness. We were surprised to see that even WEAR Channel 3 News was also there to catch the story.

Click here to see the brief story featured on WEAR Channel 3 - Pensacola! 

Ankur is majoring in Chemical Engineering, but he told me that he has learned so much from traveling around the states, meeting other travelers, and that he believes that he has found his real passion in health and fitness. That actually made me very happy because being a Beachbody Coach, that is what I do. I help people live a more healthy and fulfilling life and show them how they can make a living doing what they truly love. I am glad to have met Ankur, and I look forward to his success with his mission. If you would like to find out more about Ankur, you can check out the links below:

P90X2 Shoulders and Arms Workout

As an OCR (Obstacle Course Racing) athlete, I am always looking for workouts that confuse my body. These types of workouts, such as the movements with P90X2 always prepares me for the different obstacles that I may come across during an obstacle race such as a Spartan Race. One of the main contributors to P90X2 is Dr. Marcus Elliot, a Harvard educated doctor who has trained some of the world's most elite athletes to help maximize their potential. I figure that if it is good enough for them, then it must be good enough for me. Unlike P90X (Classic), P90X2 is geared more towards people with athletic goals and solely for advanced fitness levels. If you are a very determined individual, then this could probably work for you as well. If you are an athlete in any sport, or if you enjoy being active outdoors, then this would be a great program for you to do. You could also just incorporate P90X2 it into your existing workouts.

Length: 52 minutes
Equipment: Stability Ball (or towel), Plyo Box (or sturdy chair), weights (or bands), Foam Roller (not required).

I followed this workout with a 21 Day Fix - 10 Minute Fix for Abs Workout. If you are training for an obstacle course race, try running about 1/4 to 1 mile after each round. Or you could just run 2-3 miles after the workout. Whatever your goal may be, P90X2 workouts will help you get to your athletic goals.
