Today's Workout & The "Reinvention" begins Tomorrow

OK, sticking with my "300" themed workouts this week, today's workout was no joke. The body was shaking, and I think I felt my lunch...lol. Just kidding...ok, no I'm not. However, in any case, I also have some news before I go into my workout of the day.

For the past few months, I have been contemplating taking my fitness career in a few different directions. My mission this year, is to do (notice, I did not say try) new things. One of those things, is to become a professional fitness & sports model. Well, I've been looking at different avenues and organizations, and if you notice, I have the top dogs on my Top 24 on my myspace page. These are the agencies who have the reputation, dedication, and promise that I am looking for.

Originally, I thought of "possibly" competing at Musclemania in June, and also making a trek to Toronto for FAME (both are different organizations, btw).  However, I decided to pass. I do not believe in doing anything half-a**, so I did not want to attend both events without have a tight portfolio, comp cards, and have my body & mind ready.

If you check out the FAME website (http://www.wowfame.com) and peep the athletes there (male & female), you will see this is not an organization to half-step. You're either in or your not. Thus, I wondered, in spite of my busy schedule as a fitness coach, father, and entrepreneur, would I have the time and dedication to be a card-carrying WNSO athlete. Well, out of nowhere, I received a FAME magazine in the mail yesterday...no I did not subscribe...it just came. Thus, there was my answer.

I see that as the Universe telling me to stop doubting myself, and just go after what I want. What I want, is to compete as a fitness/sports model. Thus, I am going to do so. So when FAME opens their offices tomorrow morning, I'm getting my WNSO (World Natural Sports Organization) card, and then making plans to compete in the FAME North American Championships, November 2, in one of my favorite places in the world....Miami. Knowing that the North American Championship is in M.I.A. (home of a crapload of beautiful & fit people) I know I am going to have to "bring it" in order to place. Ohhhhh...it's onnnnnn now..."I ain't ever scaredddd...."

So, wish me the best, por favor. Your positive energy always fuels me! Speaking of fuel, today's workout definitely drained my tank, but it is all worth it. Every workout is aimed for November 2. You may think that is a long time from now. However, those 5 months will be here before you know it. It seemed like only yesterday, we were celebrating New Year's Eve. Now it's Summer....geez. OK, here we go:

If you read my blog earlier this week, you know the drill for this workout:

I perform 10 exercises back-to-back, without rest, by performing 30 reps of each (15 reps on each side for alternating exercises), and seeing how fast I can complete the workout in order to have a time to beat the next time....next time...what am I saying?  Naturally, I warm up 5 minutes before the workout, and cool down 5-10 minutes after the workout.  Here it is:

5 Min. Warm up
 
1. Jump Squats
2. DB Lunges (15 reps ea. leg)
3. Level 6 Tube Keep-Aways (Abs - 15 reps each side)
4. Elevated Counter Dips
5. DB Overhead Rear 45 degree angle Squats (15 reps ea. leg)
6. Decline Pushups
7. DB Over & Unders (25 lbs - I think this is when I started to feel my lunch...lol)
8. Level 6  Tube Reverse Fly (15 ea. side)
9. DB Windmills (now, I fel my luch coming....oh yeah!)
10. Mt. Jumpers (ohhhh Nelly, can I pass the h-ll out now?)

5 Min Cool Down..

OK, Hogan...hit the showers...you stink. Oh, make sure you drink a post-workout drink first. BTW, why am I speaking in third person? LOL.

If you have any questions or comments, hit me up. Later folks.

I love you all,

Sincere~
