Notes

Today was the day that we resumed our weekly boxing class at the office. Now I don’t know what happened, but I ran out of air several times during the boxing session! My punches were so weak they couldn’t have hurt a fly.

In between rounds our boxing instructor made me do exercises on his TRX Suspension Trainers. I did ab pikes, modified push-ups and modified pull-ups. It was torturous–but in a good way, of course. :) During the ab pikes I felt like my insides were being gutted out of me, haha. I could only manage twenty reps before I collapsed down on the mat. The push-ups were mighty challenging as well. My arms were shaking like crazy everytime I straightened them to lift my upper body up! This can only mean that there’s a lot of room for improvement there.

That’s it for today; I’m past my bedtime already. But before I go, I’mma gonna subject you to another exhibit of my OC-ness–presenting, my January Workout Schedule, complete with color coding and whatnot!

Fit, strong and happy, here we go. :)

100 Days to Fat Loss – Day 1: Challenge Kick-start!

So today is the first day of the “100 Days to Fat Loss” Challenge, and I must say I’m psyched. I’ve realized that I want to win this challenge, not because of the potential cash prize involved, but because I want to prove to myself that I can do it–improve my body and my health through common sense and pure hard work. No tricks, no gimmicks, no instant (and often temporary) solutions. This here’s the real deal. And whether I win the challenge or not, my fitness journey is going to go beyond 100 days… it’s going to be a total lifestyle change. It’s time that I took real good care of my body; it’s the only one I have.

I’ve got an awesome lineup of of workouts today to kick-start the challenge. First up is my Workout of the Day or WOD from BodyRock.tv, which I did this morning after waking up. Aptly called the Good Feeling Workout, it’s only 12 minutes long but it squeezed every last ounce of strength from me. Since I don’t have any of the equipment used by the BodyRock team, I modified some of the exercises and substituted the others so that I could still do the move (or work the same muscle group targeted by the original move) using just my body weight. Here are my scores from the workout:

Later this evening we have a group boxing class at the office, and I am so stoked because for the first time I’ll be trying TRX! One of the instructors teaching the boxing class is a certified TRX Suspension Training instructor, and he said he was going to bring his TRX gear to class tonight and teach us some moves. This is going to be an awesome workout session.

I better bust my butt at boxing class tonight though, because afterwards I’ll be attending the bachelorette party of my good friend Rachel Donaire–yes, that Rachel Donaire, wife of The Filipino Flash, Nonito Donaire, Jr. As everyone knows by now, the two will be celebrating their Philippine wedding this Friday, November 11, 2011.

I’m expecting a full-on party at the bachelorette tonight, and that means food and drinks galore. This means I had better prepare myself today for what could be a potential drawback to my health goals. Here’s to a great challenge start! Cheers!
