Ready to Bring It!

Yes, I am ready to bring again this next semester. I have some great new exercises to throw at the veterans of this program.

I have a great group of kids. I have right now 21 signed up. That is amazing. It keeps growing and growing which is good.

Dada just informed me that next semester the Fall 09 we should be able to get the Core Pole. I am so excited about that. That means more exercises and more plyometrics to incorporate. Yeah!

I just love a great workout. I will be getting a double workout having back to back classes.

There is a class at 8:00 and a class at 9:00 p.m. If you are interested, let's do it.

Come on, what do you have to lose, nothing but gain strength and lose a little body fat. All good for you.

Getting Extreme

Looks like I am going to have a big group this time. I am going to have to divide the group up into two shifts.

15 people is about the max due to shortage of weights and room in the Field House. We have to use the football players workout area because they have the pull up machine or equipment that we can improvise with and I like that.

Can't wait to start again.

sign-ups are next week. Should start after that.

It's Time Again

I hope everyone had a great Christmas break. I am ready and pumped to start again.

I hope we have some new faces to get on track. I hope everyone did something over the holidays so it won't like we will be starting over.

I can't wait to get started again.

Let's rock and rol this joint and start getting some P90x on people. Quit being so lazy.

Great Improvements!

The 5 weeks are already over. This group showed so much improvement that I am estactic.

I put together a little video so everyone can see. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed leading this fine group of kids. We had such a great time and they were so dedicated on feeling better. We had some remarkable improvements. I had a couple of them who did the wall squats over 6 minutes. I know I can't do that.

Everyone doubled their push-ups which is awesome. They know they have room for more improvement and they all will be back next semester.

Hope you enjoy.

After the Holidays

The week of Thanksgiving we decided to workout Sunday night and then again Monday afternoon because most of the students were going home for the Thanksgiving weekend.


We were back in full force Monday night and boy did the group seem more energized and looked really good on their lunges and their pull-ups. Some of them told me that this time around seemed alot better to do the exercises. They hurt like before but they had better control and could do all the reps much better than at the beginning. I tell you what, the group looked like a bunch of misfits at the beginning but now they really look good. Their forms are good on some and improving everyday. That is what I like to see. Improvement! Yes, they have made me proud to know each and every one of them.


Now, I don't know about some of you, but pull-ups are my nemesis. I can't do them, okay I can do a couple now, and probably never will be able to do them. I just have to keep trying.


I planned a Circuit today on Tuesday. I had I think 12 stations. Boy! The Extreme group were huffing and puffing by the fifth station. Thanksgiving must have really blew it for some.


We did jacks after each exercise station. We did Lunge jumps, we did soccer taps, we did a step up with weights in which they did a bicep curl, lateral raise, front raise and the an upright row. All while going up, up and down, down. Then they did this squat hop thing, not sure what I call it but it gives the legs a burn. I love it. They did a walk on hands with a glider on their feet, now this exercise really pushed them, it was no joke. You have to keep your core in. We did the run-stance turn on the step and then Burpees. We did this circuit twice. What a workout, and they did awesome. Here is a video.

Plyometric Day

Things are going well. I decided to do the Plyometric exercise on Tuesday night.

Whew! All I can say is Wow! I had not done that program in a while and it kicked my butt. I totally love that. I felt so good afterwards.

Hope realized not to eat right before MCM extreme workout. I too had a some meal about 2 hours earlier, thought I was good, but the Top Ramon just sat right at the top (hehe).

Sometimes, it is hard to tell if some people are really working hard as they can, but after Tuesday night I saw the sweat just dripping off of most of the group. Way to go group.

Thursday night we will also work legs in the Plyo legs. I will substitute some exercises with extra cardio just to keep it fresh. This will give the group at least Friday and Saturday and part Sunday to recoup. Yes, we are working out on Sunday night because the Thankgiving two days off from school, well actually 3 days off just kind of messes things up. The group themselves decided to put in a Sunday workout and then a Monday at noon workout because I am going out to eat for my Birthday. Hey, I like birthdays too. Got to get me some cake. Better workout hard at noon.

Wish I had more pictures, but my hard drive crashed and the pictures are all gone.

Chest, Shoulders and Arms!

Day Number 7

We have been at this extreme workout for seven days now. Whew! I don't know about the group but I am seeing a difference. I am feeling stronger, and I can do things better and a few more reps than when I started.

The chest is the one that kills me. I can do push-ups on my knees a quit of few times, but when it comes to standard push-ups, gosh it just takes everything out of me.

We tried some one-arm push-ups and wide push-ups, push-ups that are close to the ribs. I hope to be able to do more standard push-ups by the end of the 5 weeks. I know I will be able to, the question is will they be able to do more pull-ups and more push-ups.

We definitely got a burn on the biceps and we all left that night PUMPED! Yea baby! We were definitely showing some guns. I love the biceps. The triceps are my stubborn muscle of them all. Everyone had trouble with some of the triceps moves, but now that we have taught the body how to do them, the next time around should be a little easier.

We definitely need to get more weights for these guys, so that everyone can have a set or at least be able to share more than one set. HA! That was fun trying to do a burn out with one set for four people to use. Well, that is when you have to learn to adjust really quick. I was proud of them how they worked together on this little mishap.

Next week, starts week three, should be a good one.

All I know is this group keeps bringing it everytime and I love it.

I hope that some of them stay with it and join again next year. They can only improve. Plus I need them to show it how it is done. :)
