Workout 50

        Yesterday I hit a major milestone, I did my 50th consecutive workout! I was incredibly proud that I was able to go 7 weeks and a day without missing a session. I feel great and super proud that I pushed through the mental and physical fatigue I faced along the way. One of the toughest days was day 49.

        I came home from a long day of Massage Therapy class and was mentally and physically drained. I didn't think that I had it in me to do a workout. When I got home I sat in my workout room and just closed my eyes and thought about all of the workouts I had done and how good they made me feel, how much energy they gave me and how proud I was of where I had came. When I opened my eyes, all of the thoughts of not being able to get through a workout were gone and I was ready to get a good session in. I managed to get through it and all of my muscle soreness from massaging all weekend was gone.

        After finishing workout 50 which was mainly focused on kickboxing, I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face. It's been an amazing journey so far. All of the weight I pushed, the cardio, battle rope, kettlebells and now finding a sport to apply my training to made for an incredible 50 days.

        I took the time to figure out exactly how much weight I moved and cardio I did over the past 50 days. I calculated the weight as follows; sets x reps x weight = total. I also added up all of my cardio which included the battle ropes, kettlebells and bag work. Over all of my workouts the combined weight I moved came out to 753 994 lbs!!! I was blown away by this number!!! My cardio total came out to 1335 minutes which breaks down to 22.25 hours :)

        I'm very pleased with the results I've seen so far in terms of definition and weight loss. My cardio level has drastically improved. I can go for an hour straight now on the bike. I've always had a high energy level but now I feel like it's through the roof.

        I tried to sleep in today and was thinking of taking a day off but I found myself awake this morning at 7:45 so I hit the gym to do some kickboxing work. With my new focus leaning towards kickboxing, I will have to start taking some days off in between sessions to let my body heal from the abuse it will surely face. I'm already wearing my new bruises with a sense of pride.

        Hope you all are training hard and if you ever need any guidance please contact me without hesitation.

Stay Strong!!!
