IAR2D3- Back to Core
#Insanity #Asylum #beachbody
Asylum Day 3 and I haven’t been this sore in months. When I workout, sweating is great but if i don’t feel some kind of soreness I don’t think I’ve worked hard enough. This probably comes for years of weight lifting and football coaches in my head screaming with a pinch of Army and martial arts mixed in for good measure. Turbofire showed me...

IAR2D2 - There is no fail

Asylum: Round 2 day 2, Strength!
I recall having a love/hate relationship with this workout as Shaun T is ripped and I have not, as of yet achieved this goal. Some call it jealously, I call it HIM RUBBING IT IN MY FACE! Despite of my feelings and his obvious insecurity to insist on working to make me jealous…it was nice to do this workout again.
More props to...

Insanity: The Asylum Round 2 Day 1
#Insanity:Asylum #beachbody #cardio
Shaun-T, I $%^& MISSED YOU!!!
Insanity:asylum is da bomb! I’m pouring sweat, I’m breathing heavy, I STINK!!! Everything I need in an extreme workout. This is my 2nd round with Asylum as I did the first round in July before starting Turbofire. To give credit where credit is due, I was in much better cardio shape this time around thanks to...
kids...geez
I drove down to Washington, IL to hang out with my son and pick him up after school tomorrow for the vacation and you’d think he’d be excited to see me after a 4 hour drive.
He walks in from school: ”HI Dad”
give me a quick hug, grabs his basket ball and “by dad”
He and his three friends vanish….
Now i’m sitting in Washington, IL with nothing to...

Being a day off, i don’t have much to say beyond No turbofire meaning I will have to do some running so I’m ready for the Disney 1/2 marathon. The good...

TFW11D4 - Sculpt 30
Today was suppose to be tone 30 and HIIT 25 but I got up tired and did sculpt 30 and will be running tonight so i’m skipping HIIT until I can determine if my knee is just being difficult for no reason.
This was a workout I needed, I’ve been feeling bloated the last few days (I blame the Kit-Kats from Halloween) and this workout gave me a good total body moving and grooving thing...

TFW11D3- STICKTOITNESS
Today is a planned off day from working out (although I still might run since i didn’t manage to do it yesterday).
Today’s message is another one about quitting, giving up and what it says about you. My friend that gave up on Power90 because he was bored and needed more of a challenge, gave up on P90X during week 6 because he “burned out on it”.
Burned out on it? How...

TFW11D2 - Fire 45, The Birthday Edition
Today is my birthday and i’m living up to the promise I made myself last time this year, be more active, get back into shape and Do Something Amazing. I kind of refuse to think all the best things I’ve done are behind me. Someone asked me yesterday how it feels to be getting old and I told him I feel great!. People get old because they start to look at the past instead of continuing...

TFW11D1
After a long weekend in central Illinois, it felt good, although sluggish, to be jumping back into a HIIT workout at 4 am. I did something over the weekend and hurt my left knee a little bit so the jumping around was not without twinges this morning but I got a hard sweat.
My Birthday is tomorrow and I’ve noticed, ever since turning 32, I get a new injury every birthday. I guess the knee...

TFW10D5 - Eat! It's necessary
I’ve said this before and I need to remember it, it’s not always the best thing to do another workout less than 10 hours after your last workout. The excellent HIIT25 and Scuplt 30 workouts of last night were followed by the mediocre Fire 55 workout of this morning.
I know where I went wrong. My wife is always telling me that I’m not eating enough for all the work i’m...

TFW10D4 - HIIT 25 and Sculpt
#turbofire #cardio #beachbody
I was exhausted this morning so I slept through my normal 4am workout (yes I get up that early, you should try it, absolutely NO ONE will bother you…except the 1 yr old who doesn’t appreciate daylight savings time). I moved the workout to after work which wasn’t a bad idea.
Its COLD out, I walk 4 miles in the cold and it’s refreshing to warm...

TFW10D2 - 45
#turbofire #cardio #beachbody
This time zone change is fun! I am getting up at 3:30 to do my workouts now which isn’t so bad because i was waking up at 3:30 before only if time were to switch back this second i’m getting up at 2:30 and blah blah blah…who needs sleep
Fire 45 is very similar to the workout done during the certification class, with the added bonus of the last 12...

TFW10D1 - HIIT 20
#turbofire #cardio #HIIT
The time change has got me loopy so I decided to skip working out yesterday and do that workout today and I will skip my rest day on wed (confused? it’ll make more sense as the week progresses).
After doing the turbo-kick certification class, HIIT 20 was not that difficult. I got a great workout but its different when you’re not being evaluated by an...

#turbofire #cardio #beachhbody
It’s been a horrible week. My son caught the flu on Tuesday and passed it to me on Wed and i’ve been laid up sick all week. I got better Friday afternoon just in time for Todays Turbo-Kick certification!!!
Turbo kick is the health club version of turbofire and I did the 6 hour class today for the certification to be an instructor! I was the only guy...

TFW9D2 - boom i got your boyfriend...
#turbofire #beachbody
When I was younger, there was a song on the radio that I couldn’t stand. It summed up everything I couldnt stand about certain girls and people who tended to like this song I found myself not really caring to associate with. This song is, BOOM I GOT YOUR BOYFRIEND. I was always of a mindset that if you were that hot you could steal someone else’s guy, why...
