Sprint, Burpee, Push Up Burn Out SUCKS!

Watch Video Below

TODAY was Day 4, Week One of my 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge and my father and I did the Resistance 1 Workout. I can definitely feel myself getting back into the game, and I also asked my Dad how he felt today, and he told me that he is not as sore, and see's better improvement on his strength just from 4 days into the challenge.

I actually prefer resistance workouts over cardio-based workouts, but I feel that my cardio is improving as well, especially because I've been incorporating some mountain biking into the mix.

One final note......the Sprint, Burpee, Push Up BURN OUT at the end of this workout really SUCKS! Anyone else agree? I hope to get better at it =).

Check out today's video, and we'll see you guys tomorrow!!

Day 3, Week One - 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge

Today's workout was Cardio 1 and Core 1 which we did this past Monday. I remember when I used to get really bored doing the same workouts on the same week, but not realizing that there is a reason for the madness, let me explain:

1. Some people think that they will plateau by doing the same workouts during the same week, and yes that may be true, but one way to eliminate this from happening is to make it more intense like: using more weight, pushing more reps, creative but similar modifications etc.

2. "Repeat" workouts are great because the repetitive structure can help you focus more on doing the movements correctly (especially for people who are just starting a fitness journey) which is a big issue when you are not working out with a Personal Trainer. I have seen so many injuries because of improper form. If your fitness level is more on point with being intermediate/advanced to elite, then see point #1 above. 

3. When people do different workouts all the time, it doesn't give them the opportunity to get better at certain basic foundational movements. This really pertains to people who are more on the intermediate and below fitness level. If you are someone who get's bored easily, then changing up your workouts are okay just as long as you are still doing workouts that will help you build your foundation versus a workout that is above your level of fitness.

So anyways, that's just my little TWO CENTS on the topic of doing REPEAT workouts during the same week, hope this helps =)

Here is a quick video of my Day 3, Week One 22 Minute Hard Corps Workout with my father. I continue to be IMPRESSED by how many burpees my father can do at age 71. Not only was he killing burpees, his endurance was off the charts! This is why he is my inspiration folks!

Resistance 1 Workout

Day Two, Week One of my 22 Minute Hard Corps Challenge in the books! I'm so glad that I am doing this challenge with my father, I just hope to still be doing what he is doing when I am 71 years young, YES.....he's pushing 72!

Today's workout was Resistance 1, and let me tell you something, I am so glad that these workouts are only 22 minutes LOL! It was the first time that I used the Beachbody Sandbag, and I loved it. The Beachbody Sandbag definitely made the movements a lot more challenging, and although the bag is only 20lbs, you do a good number of reps, so I felt the BURN!

If you don't have the Beachbody Sandbag, you can get it here, or just use dumbbells. My father sometimes modified when doing the pull up section of the workout, which is fine too. Just use what you have =)

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.

P90X LIVE - Round 15 | Cardio and Core Workout

LATE POST ALERT!!!

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.

10 Ways to Stay Fit While Traveling the World

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!!
