My Journey to the Pro stage....after the fourth baby

The greatest tragedy of man is never realizing or reaching his full potential~"Dont TALK about it,BE about it!"











WELCOME to my blogspot! I am utilizing this space as a journal of sorts,where my workouts as well as random thoughts are posted....



Now that I have a few good Pro shows under my belt,I am in "off season" until 2013,due to the VERY unexpected news of my 4th child!! In the meantime, I will be keeping a journal of how a pro athlete reclaims her pre-baby body and juggles fitness and family. I am planning a Pro show just a few months after the baby arrives, as well as gearing up to hit new PR's for 5k's,half and full marathons! My ultimate goal is to simply get better with age....(and hopefully snag an IFBB pro card and break 19 min in a 5k in the process)so come follow me on my crazy journey to the Pro-Stage and Beyond... after a fourth child!!Feel free to leave any comments or advice!

200 kettle bell swings(with DB) and 155 burpies--done!

THANK YOU KATIE! i took the challenge.....
check the link out to see what im talking about...

so even though it was burpie-fest in my living room,me and the kids did this....well the older kids did dumbell swings and cheered me on with the blurpies...

and wow,this was more challenging than i thought!

lil M was in her swing learning how to count,and laughed atme when i jumped liked a mad woman......



total time:

15 minutes and 37 seconds,including a 30 or so second phone call interuption.

hubs thought i was crazy,im sure,but the kids got a kick out of being little personal trainers and telling me, "come on mamma!!! one more! show me what you got!"

too. stinkin. cute!!!



now granted my form was off the last few sets,and i lost my jump at some points (insert "give it what you got,mamma!" from my babies)

but i finished it,kindof in a hurry cause the last 3 sets M was getting cranky pants,so i sped things up...and as soon as i was done,she fell asleep......

imagine that,eh?



anyways,

i encourage anyone out there reading this to try it!
you just might like it!

  1. Awesome!! And WOW you did it fast! I took a few 30 sec breaks and changed my sneakers (first pair was to slippery) but there is no way I could do it even close to 15 mins. So excited that you did it too :D
