Having a little lift sesh at @ufcgymlamirada, my other home away from home! A few sets of 225lbs, then 315lbs and 1 rep at 415lbs. Back and hip is starting to feel strong again! With a little more mobility exercises and hip stability drills it will be time to continue the journey to 500lbs. (at UFC GYM)

Don't skip the weekend! Get at least one hour of physical activity during the weekend to help you get to your goals. Especially if you miss a day or two during the week. No excuses, A 1 hour workout is only 4% of your day! Get it done!!

9am Saturday MATRX!! (Heavy bag/TRX!) Great class this morning! Awesome job and thank you for joining me. Keep coming in every Saturday at 9am for different workouts, Don't miss out! (at UFC Gym - Los Angeles (Rosemead))

It's not just the workout that changes you, its the EFFORT! Anyone can coast through a hour workout and claim it was easy but its ultimately the effort you put into every rep of every exercise that makes the difference. Plan your workouts ahead of time and train with real purpose. "Without the WORK in workout its just an EASY out!"

I tried out a few new hip mobility drills I've learned and tested it out with some light weight squats at 225lbs, Deadlifts at 225lbs then 315lbs. So far so good. The weight felt light, my back felt strong and my range of motion didn't seem too stiff anywhere. I've had great success helping clients with their back and hip dysfunctions but for someone like me who's had mechanical dysfunction since their teenage years it takes more than simple stretches and foam rolling.

"I didn't come this far just to come this far!" I'm very happy with how far I've come over the years but I still set higher goals along the way to keep moving forward. Being Fit and healthy isn't a 12 week program. Its a life long journey.

Wednesday 10am Circuit Breaker!! Awesome class this week as we hit body weight and weighted exercises using only Dumbbells and Sandbells. Great job ladies, I'll see you all next week! Also, don't hesitate to ask questions about anything we've done in the class. (at UFC Gym - Los Angeles (Rosemead))

"Don't stop when you're tired. Stop when you're DONE!!" For some, pushing themselves to the limit or even past their limit isn't an issue. But for the rest of us, myself included, we need to dig deeper and find that motivation and drive to take it one more day, one more set and even one more rep! As I always say "You can slow down if you NEED to but whatever you do, DO NOT STOP!"

Wednesday 6am Daily Ultimate Training! This workout looked simple and easy on paper but turned out to be quite difficult. Minor changes to form and technique can make something far more challenging. As always, amazing job and thank you all for coming in so early and in the cold. See you next class. (at UFC Gym - Los Angeles (Rosemead))

6am Wednesday Daily Ultimate Training! Today we went with heavy Kettlebells that made for a challenging strength and power workout. A lot of you were using weight you didn't know you could thanks to some tweaks to the form. We even went into a little of the technique for Turkish Getups. Great job everyone!
