Hi guys! Sorry that is has been a little while since I have written up a post. I was gone all weekend without a computer and was attending my spartan event. It was my 2nd to last event for this season. Sad but excited to give my body the rest it needs so I can come back stronger next year. This race this past time gave me the assurance that I had made the right decision in choosing to only do sprint distances next year. This next race I have is in 2 weeks. I have about 5 days of working out hard, and then a couples days rest until I have to complete this 14+ mile race. Here is a little recap of this past weekend: My goals going into this race was to get in the top 12. Yeah that was kind of a high set goal considering I am still working on my injury, but I had set these goals and was hoping I could make it. I am trying to slowly start getting to the top 5. Right now, with my races this year, I have been lucky enough to make it within the top 20, so at the end of this season top 12 was...

Hi guys! Today was my last work out before my race this weekend.  It's a Spartan super which will be 8+ miles and 25+ obstacles.

Hey Guys! Hope you enjoyed my last workout...sorry I missed yesterday. I didn't have a chance to write one up between personal training, physical therapy and home work! But I have another one for you today and even though I take off on the weekend, I will write an extra one up for you tomorrow! I officially have 8 more days till my next race. I am running the Atlanta Super Spartan race and haven't run more then 800 meters in a few months....not good. This one will be 8+ miles and that makes me a little nervous with no running. I haven't run because I am trying to let my injury heal. Physical therapy twice a week for 6 weeks and they think that I'll be good...fingers crossed. Me getting heat ultrasound therapy done for my IT Band Issues  So anyways, here is your workout: Run 400 meters/Row 400 meters 20 kettlebell swings Run 400 meters/Row 400 meters 20 medicine ball cleans Run 400 meters/Row 400 meters 20 burpees Run 400 meters/Row 400 ...

Hi Everyone! Hope you guys are feeling good today. I have had a pretty crazy week  so far but thankfully am still managing to work out on a daily basis. As you can see a lot of my workouts are mostly body weight exercises with occasional weights added in. I feel, for me personally that I benefit mostly from body weight exercises. But maybe its just because I hate lifting! I think its a great added benefit though and if its something that you enjoy then I would definitely incorporate that into your workout! So, today I have mixed in some body weight exercises with some running/rowing and a couple weight exercises added in.   So here it is: Warm up- 400 meter jog/400 meter row 50 burpees 1 min plank 50 walking lunges 25 wide pushups 25 narrow pushups 50 box jumps 2 minute mountain climbers with feet on the wall 35 burpee tuck jumps 40 sit ups 50 bench dips 50 jump rope 25 deadlifts 25 thrusters 400 meter jog/400 meter row W...

Hi Everyone! Anybody do yesterdays workout? That ones tough. But here is another one: 55 jumping jacks 55 squats 55 jumping jacks 55 lunges 55 jumping jacks 55 pull-ups 55 jumping jacks 55 pushups 55 jumping jacks 55 sit-ups 55 jumping jacks 55 second plank 55 jumping jacks 55 burpees 55 jumping jacks 55 tuck jumps 55 jumping jacks 500 meter row So as you can see the magic number is 55 today. If you need to modify, please do. I suggest breaking these down and doing them in sets. There is different ways you can do that: You can focus on one exercise at a time and break it down. Ex: Break the first 55 jumping jacks into 3 sets, do 15 jumping jacks, 5 second break, 15 more jumping jacks, 5 second break and then finish off the last 25 jumping jacks. You can break it up however you'd like, if you can only do 5 at a time that's okay to.  And the other way is breaking each set into a number, so do 15 jumping jacks, 15 squats, 15 jumping jacks, 15 lunges, etc...
