Week 3: A Thing Called Life

Ok, this is where schoolwork meets fitness, meets nightlife. This phenomenon is more commonly known as ... Life!

Let’s begin with nightlife: I went out Friday and Saturday, the seventh and eighth of October. And when one is out and about, hard liquor – tequila, vodka and whiskey – and fast food makes its way into your belly. This fast food – Jack in the Box in this case – has a lot of calories. So, let’s just say I was not pleased when I weighed myself on Monday.

I didn't lose a pound! But hey, at least I did not gain any weight either.

Now, let’s touch upon schoolwork: Damn these upper division classes are getting harder. I have countless of chapters to read to prepare for a midterm I am taking next Wednesday, October 26. Reading and note taking takes time, loads of it, so I had a very little amount of time dedicated to exercise.

Finally, fitness: My abdominal muscles have been the target this week. I did a few ab workouts:


1) The V-Ups


2) Flutter Kicks



3) Bicycle Kicks


These ab workouts really worked. My brother, Rafita, went as far as saying I have “cuts when [I’m] putting in work.” What he is basically saying is my abs where visibly defined when I was doing the exercises. Here a few more abdominal workouts along with some tips.

Outside cardio was also emphasized this week since I was so busy. To meet my 45 to 60 minutes of daily cardio, I played pick-up football and basketball at the park with my brother and friends.
