The Gainz Chronicles: Celebrating Glutes and Everything in Between

Day 1: REST                    Time: 10:16                  8am: 1 mile run  200 abs: 100 Incline Sit-Ups                100 Incline Russian Twists Today was a pretty light day.  I didn't want to do anything too extreme in the morning, I just wanted something light and easy to get my day started.  I planned on coming back for a 5pm workout but decided to go home and relax for once.  Both of my clients were out for the day so I had a TON of free time.  I didn't know what to do with myself so I went home and did everything and nothing on my couch.  Day 2: 4 Miles                  Time: 44:34                  Of course on the day I have a 9am meeting I decide it's a good idea to go for a 4 mile run at 6:50am.  Mind you, it takes me 20 - 30 minutes to get to campus.  This left me with about 45 minutes to get ready for work; a steep 45 minutes.  All the more reason to jog fast right???

I happen to have multiple accountability partners since I personally train people.  I try to avoid standing by a person’s side and telling them what to do, so I almost ALWAYS work out with the people I’m training.  Which meeeaans, you guessed it, I work out a whole lot.  I’m held accountable by all of my trainees because they pay me to help keep them accountable for their fitness goals.  I can’t just wake up and decide “nope, I don’t think I want to help anyone workout today.  I’ll think I’ll eat some donuts and chill”.  NO, I have to get m

Day 1: REST                Time: 0:00                     Weight: 170.6 lbs For this blog, pay close attention to my weight.  I started this week off feeling super light.  I walked by the mirror like oh snap, hey boo!!!  New body, who dis?? A reenactment of me in the mirror getting hype about my bawdy: Yes, I twerk every time I get excited or happy about any of my accomplishments....well, at least the few that I remember to acknowledge because I suck at patting myself on the back.   Anyway, I know I'm supposed to REST but I have 2 people to train everyday so homie can't rest.  My morning client will be out for the rest of the week due to an eye surgery so I created a full body circuit for her.  I was so. fudgin'. tiredt.  But I felt REALLY gwood afterward.   7am Warm Up: 1 Mile Walk/Jog (Jog 200m, Walk 200m) Workout 4 Rounds: Weight Step Ups on Small Box (30 lb barbell) Bosu Ball Mountain Climber Hanging Leg Raises Straight Arm
