I apologize for not being "active" on blogging for the past four weeks. Back in September 9th, I started a wellness program here in Des Moines, called Farrell's Extreme Bodyshaping (FXB). The program is Monday through Saturday for 10 weeks. You heard right, 6 days a week for 10 weeks... The program is laid out as follows:
- Kickboxing (cardio) 3 times per week for 45 minutes.
- Punches: jabs, hooks, cross punches, upper-cuts.
- Knees: high, medium, low and side.
- Kicks: side kicks, front, back, crescent and the always fun round-house.
- Cardio Maintenance: jumping jacks, grasshopers, mountain climbers, quick feet, push-ups and jumping squats.
- Bands (resistance/weight) 3 times per week for 1 hour
- .Upper Body: Shoulders, biceps, triceps, etc.
- Lower Body: Thighs, calfs, etc.
- Resistance Maintenance: push-ups, crunches, planks and (my least favorite) running.
All of this happens at 5 AM so I can easily fit it into my schedule. What this means is that I'm usually out (literally) by 9:30 PM (aka, prime "playing around" & "blogging" time). On the upside, I am able to do 75 push-ups in a minute, have tons of (new) eneregy and have lost almost 10 lbs (but gained ...however, I still pass out at 9:30 PM.
This is something I've been wanting to do for the past couple of months (not this specific program, but a program to help me get in shape). What do you guys do to try to stay in shape?
