FitCamp day 4 and 5

Let me get a last workout in....then evacuate.  


Yeah..those were the plans and it just sucks.  The panic, stress and spending to  stay safe makes you crazy.  So, we had a great  hard workout.  I had to leave early because I had a truckload of plants to unload. Ironic that fresh plants out of Florida came the day before evacuation.   I decided to start early and Aiden and Ashton so I could get a full hour of torture.   We did a mini bootcamp for 45 minutes before everyone showed up for the last workout before heading onto the roads for a ridiculous amount of time.  I choose to send my boys to California via Southwest and Beth and I stayed home at the Harris Hotel.  


Watch it...Watch it.....
My waist is getting smaller and the love handles are giving my wife less to grab...btw...that's a good thing.  My overall body is changing with more muscles, less fat and a leaner look.  I have battled through injuries with a shoulder issue, achilles and elbow.   What makes the FitCamp work so well it that no matter what your limitations, a great workout is coming your way.  


Show me what you got! 
So today I decided to see what I was made of and really turn up the pressure.  This last week has been a stressful episode of life and I decided to just beat myself as hard as I could.

I got on my bike and road as hard as I could for 45 minutes.  I keep my Heart Rate between 165-175 for the full 45 mins and then ended up at FitCamp.  I had already burned 1450 calories by the time I arrived and I never saw my heart rate drop below 155 even when I was just standing waiting for instructions.

Martin kicked my ass today and I am whipped.  This is the thing for me as I really enjoy working as hard as I can.  Of course, it not for everyone that what makes FitCamp so much fun.

Today was the first time in a long time that I just couldn't go any longer.  Thanks for beating me into the ground.
