I believe in empowering people with their own self defense and fitness. We can get strong and fit without spending a bunch of money. I will share workout tips, videos, and how to make improvised exercise equipment. And a lot more! I look forward to hanging out with you all. Be good to yourself, because you are worth it.

This is the Zombie Fighter Jango Beginning workout using hand weights made from sports drink bottles that have been filled with gravel. This workout builds up  an amazing amount of heat in the core muscles, and burns calories at a high rate. I created this workout based on Ashtanga Yoga, bilateral movement, boxing, and Irish Stick Fighting. Not only does this workout build strength and burn fat, but it burns fighting movements into your muscle memory.

I haven't posted in a few days, but I have been working out, trying to keep up with the timeline of my goals while still keeping every aspect of my life in order. 

Balance.

Balance is key. We have to make time for all things important. 

I have still managed to reach milestones on my Road O' Goals, and here is one of them:

A couple of weeks ago, I barely made 6 reps with the Sub Advanced Steel Bender's Helper, and yesterday I slammed out 26 repetitions! I only certified for the Feats of Strength list for 10 reps, though, because I did not allow the SBH to fully extend on a few of the reps. I got carried away! It is all about persevering, and maintaining forward motion when it comes to fitness. Workout, time to heal, nutrition, and goals. ATTAINABLE goals on the way to larger goals so that we can have successes, because success breeds success.

Is the steel bender's helper your main workout?

Sloth, that has been my sole workout for almost 2 months now. I do cardio and core, but as far as upper body workout, this has been it. My strength gains have been phenomenal, and muscle gains as well as definition has been out of this world.

Yesterday's work-out:

-Warm-up with deep knee bends, isometrics with a towel, and 50 reps in Double Overhand AND in Double Underhand on my Beginning Steel Bender's Helper.

 

-10 reps on the Sub Intermediate SBH

-10 reps on the Super Intermediate SBH

-2 reps on the Sub Advanced

-10 deep knee bends

-Bent a 5/16" x 7" CRS bar in under 5 minutes in double Ironmind pads

-Used Ladder technique, and did 3 sets on the same SBH's listed above to failure.

-Did 5 attempted reps on the Advanced SBH, only moved it about 20 degrees, but held it there for a slow count of 5 on each attemp

-Collapsed into a shaking heap of meat

*P.S.

I do not skip leg day, just so you know. My leg days are every other day when I tow a 150 pound wagon with a 90 pound Dog in it for 2 miles! My boy Dog, Luke, he is the big red Dog there, he has hip dysplasia, and he stopped eating when he couldn't get out for jogs with Ginny and I. He was depressed, so I did what I had to do. Now, the girl, Ginny, she is getting older, so sometimes she has to ride for a while to take a break, which puts my load up over 300 pounds.
