I decided to do calves on Friday the 13, needless to say I am still haunted by them. I wanted to get my feet to stop cramping, I had the brilliant idea to do 400 reps of calve raises with no weight other

Last night I pushed to a new limit, 24 Rounds. 12 Rounds @3 minuets with 1min rests. -12 Rounds: shadowboxing and footwork -12 Rounds: heavybag I really didn’t want to go that far when I started, I was

This past week I have been working on healing my body, I was feeling pain in my shoulders. Punching a heavybag takes its toll on you. But I will be back to working hard footwork and head movement

We had a burger cookout. It felt good to enjoy time with friends and family. This 3rd of July we are having our annual cul de sac party with tacos and fireworks. Sit-ups will be plentiful.

I made it to 500 sit-ups yesterday at work. I am surprised that I am not hurting, when I did 300 I couldn’t do 1 the next day. I guess it comes to the fact that haven’t engaged these muscles in a long

Yesterday I setup a slip rope in my shop, I must have done hundreds of rolls. My legs were on fire. The last time I felt like that was when I was in the Army, I remember the ruck marches that would go

I haven’t been taking care of my health lately. I have been eating poorly, I haven’t been working out. Last night was the last night of eating fried foods, mass quantities of breads, and drinking beer.

Yesterday was day one. I got on the heavy bag for an hour and a half then shadow boxed for a half hour. It felt good to sweat, to feel the salty sting of sweat in my eyes made me get up and go another
