The infamous 3000 rep challenge is back!

In fairness, I should have posted this challenge Friday instead of today but I was busy actually trying to finish the challenge myself. The first time I posted it, no one completed it. I mean come on 3000 reps is insane. That takes alot of endurance and most importantly mental strength. But, today I can tell you 100% certainty that it can and has been done. It took me probably a little over 3 hours give or take of total work time to complete but I took alot of breaks and did other things to keep the workout from feeling too arduous. So once again here's the workout

Being that I posted it a day late, your deadline can extend until Monday or if you are reading this during the week, you can just impose a three day deadline and give it a shot. But, just know that it takes time and discipline to get through it. 

The first time I tried it, I thought I would do my pushups on one day and my body squats on another. For me, this was very ineffective. I felt more productive breaking down my numbers into smaller sets/reps and just knocking through the workout one row at a time. 

Give it a shot and let me know what you think!!!

Working out is my drug, what's your's??

Turbo charge your weigh loss through juicing!!!

Watch this guys 100 day juice fast!!!

Juicing provides your body with the proper nutrients it needs to function and repair itself while eliminating processed harmful foods in your body. It gives your body a chance to detox and "reboot" if you will. It's funny because when I decide to go raw or start a juice fast  my mother will always comment to be careful but if I go to Popeye's and get a 3 piece or drink a 2 litter of Coke then this is considered acceptable behavior. We have been brainwashed as relates to eating and what the body needs to function. At the end of the day, if it doesn't decompose then you probably don't want to eat it.
Live food give you life! Dead food gives you death! The sun is energy, thus you should eat food that captures the power of the sun and releases it into your body!

Have a blessed day

Top 10 detox foods- "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food"

It's easy to get into the habit of looking at your outer appearance and using that to decide whether or not we are healthy. However, our outer appearance can be very deceptive. Our bodies are bombarded with toxins from a variety of different sources on a day to day basis. Therefore, it is important to "Reboot" our bodies or give them a chance to purge some of these impurities from the system. Here is a brief video of some of the top 10 detox foods you can use to "help" our bodies out! Enjoy!

Push-ups and pull-ups! A great 1, 2 combination

Nothing conveys fitness more than a strong looking upper body. When you see someone with a defined chest and back you think wow, that person is DIESEL! Two of the best exercises you can do to improve your physique are push-ups and pull-ups.Push-ups target mostly your chest and tri-ceps, while pull-ups involve your back muscles, triceps and biceps. Furthermore most men and women can not even do 1 pull-up!!! In my opinion, everyone should be able to handle their own bodyweight.
Life is crazy and you never know when you will need to hold yourself up for some reason!!!

Push-ups can be done in two different ways, modified or traditional. If you are new to pushups or haven't built up your strength enough to do a traditional push-up, you can do them from your knees.
The keys are to try to keep your hands under your shoulders and lean forward away from your feet in the straightest line that your arms can support. The traditional push-up involves the same concept, flat back, straight line, hands under shoulders.

Pull-ups are done with your palms facing away from your face. Chin-ups are a bit easier as your palms grip the bar facing you. The change in arm position makes your biceps help in the pulling action. Even if you do have significant strength it is still a good idea to vary your hand positions because every one targets the muscles in a slightly different fashion. When doing your pull-ups or chin-ups think about using your back muscles to pull yourself up to the bar. The natural tendency is to try to use all arm strength but try to focus on engaging your back muscles.  If pull-ups and chin-ups are too hard for you, you can either do dead hangs( just hang from the bar as long as you can). You can do negatives, which involve jumping to the highest point and slowly allowing yourself to lower down. You can also try using elastic bands or a chair to "spot" you as you go up and down. Either way, just stay patient and consistent and your strength will increase with your numbers...

So here's a workout that I love to use. I call it " Going up the mountain!"

Start with 1 push-up, the do 1 pull-up. Next 2 push-ups, 2 pull-ups, 3 push-ups, 3 pull-ups ....
keep going until you get to 10 then head back down the mountain 10 push-ups, 10 pull-ups, 9 push-ups, 9 pull-ups ... all the way back to 1.  This is great as a full workout or as a warm-up depending on your fitness level and skill. Once I start, the goal is to finish as fast as possible so
think 0 rest time.  I love this workout because the warm-up is built into the workout and it doesn't take a long time to get a good sweat going.

Drugs don't heal! Your body can only heal itself.

The above picture courtesy of Hallelujah Acres says it best. Drugs only deal with symptons but never HEAL. Healing occurs when the body has the building blocks necessary to recover. This comes from proper nutrients and minerals, not synthetic drugs. Proper sleep, and good nutrition promote healing, plain and simple. Just a little food for thought.
Have a Beaucoupfit Day!
