day12 and 13.....learning how to channel the "RAGE" mentality

..........Thanks to body builder Kai Greene iv been introduced to the ''rage" mentality....which is basically all the emotion, violence, pent up aggression that it takes for a special athlete to break through physical barriers and do things that were once thought impossible.the Rage mentality is simply going into your mind and channeling every emotion that will allow you to explode through whatever task/workout you have ahead of you.its neat stuff.i hit cardio power and resistance yesterday, and its just PERFECT timing that iv got pure cardio and cardio abs today....i know that its probably going to take a lot of practice to channel the Rage inside of me but im going to attempt to do that in this workout....

...day 11

..................i just completed cardio recovery..boy i needed that! i think i have carpal tunnel on my feet from all this plyo im doing....the under side of my left foot btwn my big toe and the 2nd toe hurts pretty bad...i dont wear shoes in my workouts....maybe i should start because i always try to land softly when i jump to protect my knees and that means landing on my toes over and over again.....

intermitent fasting DAY 10 + plyo cardio circuit

............i was off yesterday and i didnt stick to my 24 hour fast...i had a much shorter 16hr fast...i broke my fast at 1pm then went to the movies and had some extra calories ie pop corn and a mango magarita...i also had a glass of sugary ass mango limeade at buffalo wild wings during the fight....so yeah.....il consider yesterday my cheat day for the week......im about to hit cardio circuit...that KILLS me! anything with plyometrics in it hurts soo good....dont know how else to describe the burn....atleast for me...my least favorite workout is yoga....im definitely making progress though.....i think i have great genetics for biceps and traps...i noticed nice sized gains since i started doing all these level one drills again....  

intermitent fasting day 8-9 + insanity

i knocked out cardio power on wednesday and due to a conflict in my schedule i was not able to hit pure cardio on thursday ....yesterday i fucked up and woke up too late to do the entire workout. i was only able to hit the warm up and the stretch..so im doing pure cardio again this morning ...my fasts are going ok.im still able to hit 24 hours every day even after my workouts and my energy is still high....in the last two days im pretty sure that iv gotten more than 1300 cals when i break my fast.atleast 1600.i over ate until i was so uncomfortable.im still at a caloric deficit because my bmr is 2200 but i need to practice portion control tonight.for instance, i ate at around 10pm and i just woke up at 5.20am and im still pretty stuffed.im still getting lean though i can tell the difference every day.....the major side effect of (IF) is that you dont sleep as many hours as you are accustomed to....i rarely get in 6 good hours...but im not at all sleepy or tired.Your body just needs less sleep if youre IF'ing it.......

Intermitent fasting day 6, 7 + insanity

i hit pure cardio on saturday and plyo cardio circuit yesterday. today is my first rest day on the insanity calendar and im putting my feet up......Yesterday I did much better than i did when i first hit plyo cardio on day 1....i still got MURDERED but i can tell that by my next rest day il be back on point....im definitely making gains though....my back and abs are coming in nicely and  im sure that by the end of the 2 months il see more cuts.i think that Intermitent fasting is the best thing that ever happened to me.Every morning when i get up and look in the mirror i can tell that there is a difference on my body...NOTHING  leans you out faster  than intermitent  fasting plus a high intensity cardio programme.im still sticking to my 24 hour fasts usually between 8-9pm until around 9pm the next day.I get one good nutrient dense meal, usually around 1300 calories and im good for 24hrs.i calculated my bmr as 2218.5 which means that im well under my required caloric requirements.Add that to about 45mins-1hr of insanity workouts 6 days a week and its no surprise that im making gains every day.Depending on my schedule i usually workout first thing in the morning.for the last 2 days iv had to get up at 5am, get some black coffee in and hit my workout before work at 8am.i would like to encourage anyone that hasn't tried intermitent fasting to give it a shot.especially if your goal is to loose fat.You dont even need to work out to see results!

cardio recovery

..............not my favorite workout.......yoga just kills me.....but its so good for you....tomorrow im waking up to that MONSTER called PURE CARDIO! im fucked! lol

intermitent fasting day 4&5 plus cardio recovery

...you guessed it! i totally skipped on my workout yesterday.i was so tired and sleepy after a 20hr work day so i pushed my workout for today....i feel good working out in the mornings but it just sucks that i live on the 2nd floor and insanity is all about plyometric movements.iv never gotten any complaints.I try to land softly though in my previous apt. i was on the first floor and i used to go as hard as i wanted to.....i had a really good dinner yesterday so im full of energy.....il open my fast at around 6pm which is exactly 21hrs since dinner last night.....im going for a shorter fast today because i dont like the idea of eating right before bed...

intermitent fasting + Insanity day 3

......cardio power and resistance...YEAH! i love this workout......i was a little tempted to skip shakeology before my workout but i still remember how much of a nightmare plyo cardio was yesterday on an empty stomach.....i ended up taking half of my shakeology pre-workout with my coffee....i still got annihilated but i did much better than yesterday...MAN! i forgot just how much those level one drills BURN!...i opened my fast with my half shakeology at about 3.30pm and had my post workout meal after my workout at about 5pm....im working overnight today from 10pm to 6am then i come home and get a 2 hour break before i go to my other job from 8am to 8pm....which means that i have a 20hr work day ahead of me.....iv got cardio recovery tomorrow...the only time i have to squeeze that in is between my two jobs ...btwn 6a-8a...if i wait until after work im hella sure that il be too tired and too sleepy to get it done....Also the only time i can break my fast is after 8 tomorrow..which means i have a 27hr fast ahead of me plus cardio recovery.the challenge will be dealing with post-workout munchies for 12hours.....

intermitent fasting + Insanity day 2 (plyometric cardio circuit)

its amazing how your body reacts to high impact workouts after a long period of inactivity....yesterday, i woke up , make that rolled out of bed, with my body aching like crazy....every muscle from my head to toe was aching...i felt like i had been beaten up by 30 people........and that was just the morning after my fit test......i opened my fast after 25hrs coz i had to run to the post office before it closed at 5pm (im learning to modify my eating window to accomodate my 24hr fasts since i dont have a fixed schedule)....i also worked out on an empty stomach ....which meant that by the first 20 minutes into plyo cardio circuit i was absolutely beat! shaun completely wiped the floor with me for the next 20 minutes and it wasnt fun...iv decided to open my fast with a half shakeology for energy 20 minutes before my workout to help me out..or else shaun will kill me....

.......Let me say that there is something about preparing for an Insanity workout, that fills you with dread...As you put on your workout clothes, a bizarre mixture of dread and excitement increases and fills your body with adrenaline.I get a funny feeling in my tummy at the thought of what im about to put my body through....I slip in the DVD and wait for the intros....My heart is racing....Im pacing up and down psyching myself up....then that MONSTER Shaun T comes on and attempts to murder me for 45mins-1hr.....By the end of the workout, im completely soaked, my floor is completely soaked, im collapsed on the floor thankful to have survived another insanity workout.....INSANE huh?!

INTERMITTENT FASTING + INSANITY HERE I COME...DAY 1

........Iv decided to convert the fasting blog into an intermittent fasting blog.I think i went as far as i could go on less than 300cals a day.I do intend on making another attempt some other time, but at this point i have decided that intermittent fasting is the way to go.....for those that dont understand what intermittent fasting is, i will explain......Intermittent fasting is an effective tool for getting you shredded by ripping stored fat off your body...basically, in a 24hr split, you get an eating window of say, 4 hours, where you get all your calories in and then fast for 20hrs....The rationale is that during the 20hr fast, you body will be pulling energy from your fat stores as opposed to round the clock eating where the body simply burns the food eaten for energy.....Intermittent fasting is NOT  a diet.It doesn't prescribe WHAT to eat, simply WHEN to eat.The shorter the eating window, the faster the results.....you can aim for varying results based on your use of intermittent fasting.If your aim is to gain muscle while staying lean, and you are bulking (taking in an excess of calories so as to build muscle), you can still use your 6-4 hours eating window to take in all your calories which will enable you to build muscle while stripping fat off your body during your fasting phase....if your aim is to loose fat, (which is what im doing)...you should keep your eating window smaller for faster results, and ofcourse maintain a caloric deficit...keeping a small eating window works wonders for you since you can only get so many calories in, in say, 3 hours, which will definitely put you at a caloric deficit.....im doing a a 24 hour fast with a one hour eating window....i fast from 9pm until 9pm the next day then eat my meal between 9pm and 10pm.i get in about 1300cals in my meal, which includes lots of lean protein, some slow digesting carbs and some fast digesting carbs like rice...this keeps me full, while maintaining a caloric deficit of 700cals...(i require about 2000cals a day to maintain my current weight)......the primary reason why i suspended my 30 day fast is because i couldnt work out on less than 300 cals a day. with intermittent fasting i can incorporate my INSANITY workouts to my fast for faster results......I think that iv stumbled on the perfect formula for getting shredded....yesterday was day one of my intermittent fast but today is the official start of my intermittent fasting + insanity combo....i will be flowing the complete 60 day insanity programme from day one.TODAY is my first FIT TEST. i will post my results after my workout so as to track my progress during the course of the 60 days......LETS DO THIS!!
