ELIMINATING EXCUSES | fitness

It’s been an honor to serve you over the last year in your quest to DO SOMETHIN’. Now, I believe that it is time for me to continue my quest with more focus in other areas. This is the last post for eliminating excuses fitness. However, I will continue to respond to questions and comments while I own this domain name.

I thank you for your support. Special thanks to Shawnelle Sanford, Dana Baynard, Everton Edmondson, Kristen Nicole and Emile Cambry for their unwavering support. Lastly, I’d like to thank Surya Yalamanchili for helping me bring my vision of eliminating excuses fitness to life.

So my final words are:
Always pursue your goals and stay the course; be bold and confident. Know that adversity only sweetens the taste of victory. This journey is not just about fitness; it’s about fulfilling your purpose. DO SOMETHIN’!

Here’s another superset routine for you: triceps, traps and calves. Remember that as you superset, you don’t want to take excessive rest as you alternate between a pair of exercises. Keep it moving so that you keep the intensity level moderate/high. There will be time to rest before you move on to the next pair of exercises. As always, warm-up and stretch before getting started. Throughout the workout, stay hydrated too.

skullcrushers - 3 x 15-25 reps/set
&
shrugs - 3 x 15-25 reps/set
rest 60 seconds

tricep kickbacks - 3 x 15-25 reps/set
&
trap flies
rest 60 seconds

dips - 3 x 15-25 reps/set
&
calf raises - 3 x 30-45 reps/set. Remember that each set of calf raises includes the standard calf raise, calf raises with feet turned outward and calf raises with feet turned inward. So 30 reps is 10 reps on each of the three versions and 45 reps is 15 reps on each of the three versions. If needed, review the video and the post to refresh your memory.

DO SOMETHIN’!

Another week is here. Some of you might be dreading another day of classes that bore you; or you might be dreading another day of a job that is not fulfilling. Let’s focus on the positive and be confident regardless of the current situation. Believe that you will be attentive in class, and believe that you are in route to getting the grade you want. Know that you have the skills to excel at your current job and know that a better job is on the horizon.

After a long day of work or school, dig deep and find the energy to workout. It doesn’t matter how many days it’s been since your last work out; and it doesn’t matter how many pounds you are from your desired weight. You have it in you!! A little confidence will go a long ways. We have to take life one day at a time while being confident each day that we will succeed. Look at what confidence did for the NY Giants in Superbowl 42.
