Superstars

"Unlock your future by relentless learning and application and a cup of humility."

Once again my Relentless athletes are superstars outside of class too. Susan and Renu are in the 5:30am Tu/Th Deep Eddy class and were featured in the Statesman a couple of weeks ago from the 2010 Rare & Fine Wine Auction Gala. Looking smoking SHOWOUT, ladies! All the early morning hard work is paying off.

Breaking Records

(MWF 8:30am Lake Pointe class showing off their buns)

"To succeed, we must first believe that we can." -Michael Korda

The May benchmark workout for Relentless was a timed 1-mile run. The last time everyone did this workout was in February. My athletes saw huge improvements this week.

The Dick Nichols class kicked some butt in the blazing heat. Jasmine and Paige both shed over 40 seconds off their time--they went from over 9min miles to a low 8min pace. Norma and Sarah could barely run 800m 3 months ago and both of these ladies knocked out an entire mile without stopping.

Carla, Vanessa, Lisa, and Karen in the 8:30am MWF Lake Pointe class went from seriously complaining about running a mile 3 months ago, to shedding anywhere from 20 to 50 seconds off their original time.

Each of these athletes believed they could break records and they did. What are your fitness goals? I am here to encourage, inspire, and hold you accountable!

Get Strong; Have Fun



Lisa, myself, & Carey showing off our "guns" in NYC.

I had to venture off on Jersey Shore to take pics with the Locals. Classic.


I already started implementing what I learned last week with Zach Evan-Esh. Today Lisa and I did 5x5 of Zercher squat or Front squat intermixed with chin-ups, pull-ups, push-up variations, resistant bands, kettlebell walks and swings. We finished off our workout with 4 rounds of 10/10 right and left of kettlebell or dumbell snatch, gasser, 5 tire flips.

I want to get stronger, BUT I also want to have fun doing it. Today was a perfect example of a kick-butt workout that was fun. You should see my clothes and skin right now. I am covered in black tire marks. hoLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLer!
