Loving the ChaLEAN Extreme Push Phase

I have really enjoyed the Push phase of ChaLEAN Extreme. The past few weeks have been a bit challenging with work trying to get the workouts in like I want to. Thankfully work will slow down very soon and I'll be able to do it more easily. Swimming is getting better, and I'm looking forward to getting back on the bike soon. My first triathlon of the season is now just under 5 weeks away!

It's a New Year!

I'm really excited about what 2009 holds! I have so many goals set for this year, more so this year than it seems I have for other years. Maybe part of it is because I will be turning 30 this year! I also have an Ironman 70.3 planned as well, so there are some milestones for me there.

The past few months I have been dealing with Plantar Fascitis which has not been fun. Over the past several weeks I think I am finally getting somewhere with it after starting to use the PF kit from Trigger Point Therapy.

I'm really excited for Leah and myself. We have started Beachbody's latest program, ChaLEAN Extreme. It is a great cardio/ lifting programs that I know will transform our bodies. It is exciting to be doing the same workouts as my wife! Muscle burns fat, so we are going to build muscle by lifting heavy weight! Not some 2 pound dumbbell curled a bizzillion times. =0) We have several friends joining us in starting 2009 out right by doing the same program. We are going to have group workouts on Saturdays every other week as well. Fun times when we had our last one.

Should you like to learn more about ChaLEAN Extreme, then just let me know or check out my website at www.IWannaBeFit.com.

Have a blessed 2009! Let's really maximize our time with our families, friends, and be the best people we can be spiritually, mentally, and physically!

Tri season is over but training is just beginning

Well I have completed my first tri season. With four weeks to prepare for my first one and the three weeks off before the second and last one due to allergies and injury, I am happy with my start. I'm looking forward to building my base back up this offseason and improve in the disciplines before the season starts back up.

I have a long way to go to be prepared for the Augusta 70.3 that I've already signed up for. I look forward to being a stronger competitor and athlete by this time next year! Tris take me back to times where I was able to compete more. It has been years since I've felt those kind of nervous feelings before the start of an athletic event, and I kinda enjoy it. The challenges that are presented to me physically and mentally help me feel alive physically.

I'll probably start posting some training schedule stuff on here. I'm really focusing on getting to the six pack abs and increasing strength, endurance and technique by next season. P90X, P90X+, 10 Minute Trainer, and the One on One workouts will all play a part in getting me there.

Bring it!
