The Wednesday Post: Accountability In Action

The Wednesday Post: Accountability In Action

     April is officially ended STRONG STYLE!  

     I just completed another day of Bookending Workouts with Mixed Tape this  morning & Level 1+RHC this evening.  That is on top of having a Judo/Jujutsu night that saw a 10 Minute Run, 50 Push-Ups, 25 Sit-Ups, a lap of Mat Pulls, then the usual picking up bodies & hitting the entire earth with them!  

   On top of that, I even got a little better night sleep last night (always a plus!)

    So, here are the AM & PM Workout Numbers

AM
Workout\: Mixed Tape (30)
Total Workout Time: 35:10 (min/sec)
Average Heart Rate: 133bpm
Maximum Heart Rate: 146bpm
Total Time in Zone: Around 31 Minutes
     
PM
Workout:  Level 1+Red Hot Core
Total Workout Time: 1:05 (hr/min)
Average Heart Rate: 123bpm
Maximum Heart Rate: 154bpm
Total Time in Zone: Around 1 Hour

    I also called in on DDPRadio to chime in (with my witty banter & smooth, melodic voice) on the Accountability Topic with the Doctor of Plankanomics herself, Liz Collins.  

    We also talked about being accountable to yourself and different ways that can be done.. One of the best ways to do it is what you are seeing right now.  Putting your story out there for people to see.  Not only does it make you feel more  accountable for what you do, it also inspires untold numbers of people.  You don't have  to be spectacular to inspire people.  All you have to be is yourself (faults, stumbles & all).When people see you going through the same things they may be and willing to find a way through it, it makes a huge impact!

    Being Accountable also brings people together from thousands of miles away.  Case in Point: Mark Furniss & September Radecki.  The link I included with Mark goes into a lot more detail on their Journey into Accountability!

   Well, time to get that nights rest to be ready to start May even stronger!

The Tuesday Blog: Book-Ending Workouts

The Tuesday Blog:  Book-Ending Workouts

    My Tuesday Challenge I set out for myself is competed inn Beast Mode Style!

    This morning, I rolled out of bed and hit the mat for an AM of Mixed Tape Goodness.  Here are the AM numbers:

Workout\: Mixed Tape (29)
Total Workout Time: 35:20 (min/sec)
Average Heart Rate: 132bpm
Maximum Heart Rate: 144bpm
Total Time in Zone: Around 29 Minutes
    The workout was a good start for the day!  The challenge was that I didn't sleep particularly well the night before.... which is not a good thing when you are Business Tech Support and your Help Desk decides today is good day to throw a new IP3 Phone System into the  mix!  

    After getting home, getting supper taken care of for my wife & son, then taking about a hour of Medication, it was time to hit the PM side  of this Bookend Challenge with Level 1 + Red Hot Core!  Here are the PM numbers:

Workout:  Level 1+Red Hot Core
Total Workout Time: 1:06 (hr/min
Average Heart Rate: 122bpm
Maximum Heart Rate: 155bpm
Total Time in Zone: Around 1 Hour

     Tomorrow is a Judo/Jujutsu Day, which brings a new angle into Ending April Strong.  Plus, don't forget there's  DDP Radio, which I see Robert has labelled "Being Accountable".

    So, to learn from how I felt today, now I'm going to bed to rest up for tomorrow.   You may even here my silky smooth voice on encouraging everyone to....
