Wednesday's Blog: Goals, Past & Future

Wednesday's Blog: Goals, Past & Future

      So, as most of you that see my stuff on Facebook saw, I pulled through the Ironman Challenge I set for myself by doing Disc 3 & 4 (Wake Up, Stand Up, Strength Builder, Red Hot Core, Mixed Tape, Double Black Diamond, then Red Hot Core again) on Monday and Disc 1 & 2 (Breathing, Diamond Dozen, Energy, Fat Burner, Red Hot Core, Below the Belt, Diamond Cutter, then Red Hot Core again) on Tuesday.

    Here are the Numbers:

Monday - Ironman Disc 3 & 4

Total Workout Time: 3:25(hr/min)

Average Heart Rate:121bpm

Maximum Heart Rate: 162bpm

Time in Zone: Around 3:06(hr/min)

Tuesday: Ironman Disc 1 & 2

Total Workout Time: 2:32(hr/min)

Average Heart Rate:121bpm

Maximum Heart Rate: 144bpm

Time in Zone: Around 2:20(hr/min)

    Today (which seems almost slack by comparison) was Stand Up (no Red Hot Core today, since today was also a good 1 1/2 hours are Judo, working Throws & Groundwork combos, along with Running, 25 Push Ups, 20 Sit-Ups & Ukemi).  

     Here are today's Numbers:

Wednesday: Stand Up

Total Workout Time: 30:16(min/sec)

Average Heart Rate:124bpm

Maximum Heart Rate: 146bpm

Time in Zone: Around 25 minutes

     So today's DDP Radio was all about Goals for the Summer.  One of my big goals that I've been talking about is getting DDP Yoga Certification going.  As I've said on previous writings, I'm on track to officially start Certification by April 22nd.  As far as completing Certification, my goal is by mid-July.  I am also going to be helping Mike Stroeh with his Level 1 Certification Video, once our schedules mesh.  

    That's the one thing to keep looking for... Goals.  Everyone that starts DDP Yoga has the Goals to start with (lose X number of pounds).  However, once you hit that Goal Weight, most people spin in neutral a bit.  There's nothing to drive them forward.  For me, once I hit my 185lbs goal, it was like "Okay.  Now what?!?"  

     Fortunately, I also have my Martial Arts stuff to incorporate into my DDP Yoga, so one feeds off of the other.  Others, like Liz Collins & Christina Russell (aka The HardCore Sisters) take to running in 5K, 10Ks or even Marathons, along with getting that DDP Yoga Certification and helping others achieve their goals.

    The Bottom Line is, once you hit one Goal, don't just settle.  Look for how much further you can take it.  Like DDP says "There's always some place you can go!"  

   Keep reaching for new Goals, and you will.....
