Where have I been?!?!

Hey everyone, I'm incredibly sorry for not posting. As a college student, spring break is like Christmas to us. Well at least it was to me. For spring break, I went to New Orleans for a Marketing Conference with the Marketing Chapter at my school. I had no time to workout, or even sleep for that matter. But one thing I noticed is the culture, the beautiful paintings lined up on the fences, the street performers, the little shops and even the live music. It was such a great experience being down there. Even though I didn't workout, I walked everywhere I could. I never once took a taxi. Being there for only 4 days, I needed to make sure I saw everything and I sure did. I figured if this animal can walk around all day, so can I!
Stay Tuned!

My workout

Hey guys,
A lot of you have been asking about my workout. I have come to the conclusion, I actually don't have one. I do what I want when I want, which is why I'm still working out.

Some workouts I have done in the past are: P90X, Insanity, and 10 Minute workout. I like running for cardio to clear my head.

Finding workouts can be easy, go on to http://www.youtube.com/ for quick workouts!

What's your favorite form of cardio?

My favorite form of cardio is running! I'm able to plug my ipod in my ears and ignore everyone, just run!

I've learned that running takes a great deal of practice, form and breathing is very important, once you mastered a form, nothing will stop you!

If you fear of running, there are so many other forms of cardio:

- Biking
-Soccer
-Basketball
-Baseball
-Football
- Swimming
-Kickboxing
-Tennis
- Racketball
-Hiking
-Snow shoeing
-Skiing
-Walking

My goals

A lot of you wanted to know what my goals were and I'm about to tell you. Did you ever walk or run somewhere and feel your body jiggle? I have. Some people will look at me and say I don't need to workout..but the fact is, if you're not happy with your body, you should change it. 

Everyone's goals are different. But for me, its mainly to tone, which is what I'm working on...

I will soon be sharing what workouts I do to tone! Stay tuned!!

Strength

Champs!

I want to reflect on the Plymouth State University Men's Hockey Team today. Last night, March 3rd, 2012, the Plymouth State University's Men's Hockey team defeated Salem State University in the championship. The game was tied at the end of the third period: 4-4, in the first over time, we had a lot of break aways but no goal. Then in double over time, all it took was the one goal to win the game! 5-4!

Why this is relevant to my blog is because it shows pure dedication. These men kept fighting, staying strong and understanding why they were there. With double over time, you better believe that they were tired...but they stuck it out, until the end.... just like you should do with your workout. Don't fall short, if you're tired, remember it pays off in the end, because like this hockey team, we will not to be defeated.
Congrats Boys!
