Rupe’s Year of the Body: Day 38 (7)

This is equivalent to Day 22 on Lambada program and Day 38 on the “Path”.  Today was t-o-u-g-h! I hit the squat machine hard and it was all over after that.  The big muscles drain every ounce of energy from my body.  Bottomline was, I really was not prepared mentally or physically for the workout, I did not get a good night sleep last night (hanging around for the Super Bowl) and so I went into event  blah…and did it put me on my butt.  Will have to ensure that I am pumped for all future ones and sleep dammit!  Closing in on day 40…that’s significant!

Rupe’s Year of the Body: Day 36 (5)

Off Day: A day of total rest and relaxation from exercising, although I still have to go to work.  Last week was pretty productive.  I feel much stronger now, going into week 6.  Over the next 2 weeks (6 and 7) and I will work on ripping – this means some serious cardio, especially intervals.  I will work on 45min intervals 3x per week and long cardio 3 times per week.   Eating still pretty good…sleeping still a bit crappy. 

“Good livin’…keep movin!”
