27th of June, 2013 — Workout — Running

Whats up convicts,

Not much today, just some light running in the rain. Very relaxing 🙂 I tried to focus on what I had read from my MovNat Training Manual. When I was focusing on my form, it did seem quite more efficient than how I was running.

CONVICTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How’re you all doing today? Another scorcher for me … think it was hovering around 91 ( fahrenheit for our non euro friends! ) with an ungodly high percentage of humidity. It’d rained the prior evening, so mother nature was just being cruel … at least for me!

That being said, I didnt get in as good of a workout as I had planned, because the gym doesnt have AC, or it’s really really bad.

How was your workout today Convict?

Hey o’ Convicts,

Hot damn, I’m surprised I lasted those twelve rounds of Jumping Rope. It was incredibly hot today, for me at least. Got my sweat on though and held tough.  Another great day today, I love it when I’m looking forward to working out after work. In some weird way it’s like opening a birthday present when I was younger. The excitement, and the anticipation get me! Haha, maybe I’m just crazy? I know some of you convicts get that giddy – LETS DO THIS – feeling .. if not maybe you SHOULD!!!!

Stay Strong!

What do you think?

Hey Convicts,

Skipping all the stories, I’m not going to be doing the NCCPT course anymore. I learned an awful lot from it, but I’ve realized that it doesnt align with my goals for becoming a Personal Trainer. I’ve decided to refocus my efforts on MovNat.

That being said, I just came across this bit of info, and was curious what your take on it was.

It is a very positive thing to be fit, but are you
skilled?

18th of June, 2013 — Workout — PUNCH PUNCH BOX BOX!

WWWhats happening CONVICTS!!!!!!!!!

Finally able to make it back to the boxing gym after a few weeks hiatus. Shoulder was cooperative up until the last round of hitting the Heavy Bag. Worth it though, I held back on my Straight Right because I didnt want to mess that guy up again. I do love me some good ol’ boxing training though 🙂

There’s a few kids in the gym who’re fighting coming up this weekend, and another next month some time. I didnt get all the specifics, but I’m planning on watching the one this weekend. It’s pure boxing, the one next month is MMA. 

I like MMA, but it’s just not the same … which is why you’ve to love them both! If I had started young and trained to be a world champ, I’d absolutely choose boxing though.

As usual – Boxing rounds are three minutes long, with one minute breaks, and each workout is for three rounds Check it!

STAY STRONG!
