People have been asking me a lot lately about how this #journey has changed me. One only have to look at my #socks The top pair is what's left of my old socks from before this #trip I've been wearing uniformed back #sportsocks forever. Everyday always the same thing #blacksocks The socks on the bottom are my new socks. Wild, crazy and every pair different. For years I wouldn't even think of wearing these and now, #whynot ? Old #friends have been telling me how much they see I've changed #mentally and #spiritually one only have to look at my socks to see this.

#roadto205 day 41 219 lbs Morning session at @anytime.fitness.victoria was a new one I put together using #medicineballs and #battleropes 4 sets with 5 min break between, using a 15lb medicine ball. Clean & press (add a bit of back bend at full extension to help stretch core) -10 reps Side rotations -10 reps/side Lunge & twist -10 reps/side Medicine ball touches/kicks -1 min (as many as you can within time) Battle ropes: up/down, side/side -1 min each Core routine: crunches, bicycle crunches, leg raises, flutter kicks, ankle touches - 20/each This was a fun one to try out, I'm happy cause of how much it pushes me without killing me, definitely keeping it in the mix. After breakfast it was time for the #saitamachallenge exercise at home. 150 #pushups 150 #squats 150 #crunches 5 sets of 30 with 10 mins of stretches in between. Been working on a lot of mobility exercises/stretches lately with these sets and I'm happy to be able to do some poses I couldnt do before. I'm sure it'll help out my #jiujitsu game a bunch once the gym is open again. I finished off the challenge sets with a @yogaforbjj session, day 3 flow beginners program. For the cardio portion of the challenge I went for a long walk again tonight, 22.5km. Was thinking of maybe hitting the gym and seeing how I handle a few hours between #elliptical and #recumbentbike but it was nice out, so I'll try that another night. A total of over 6300cal burned today, not bad, definitely feeling it in the core. So far the scale agrees with me ditching free weights for now, let see what tomorrow says. #challengeaccepted #pandasodyssey #bjj #jiujitsu #bjjlife #jiujitsulife #bjjlifestyle #jiujitsulifestyle #bjj4life #jiujitsu4life #brazilianjiujitsu #martialarts #wrestling #judo #fiercestudio #anytimefitness #aftillicum https://www.instagram.com/p/CBAKM8UphSl/?igshid=i0tx0hoeltmg

Sometimes you just got to have a roll in the park. This weekend I've been off my workouts. Looking to regroup and restart tomorrow. #pandasodyssey #bjj #jiujitsu #bjjlife #jiujitsulife #bjjlifestyle #jiujitsulifestyle #bjj4life #jiujitsu4life #brazilianjiujitsu #martialarts #wrestling #judo #fiercestudio https://www.instagram.com/p/CA4ZFDlh3hm/?igshid=19hk9h0dutf86

#roadto205 day 35 221 lbs Day 29 of #30daysofsaitama #saitamachallenge 150 #pushups 150 #squats 150 #situps / #crunches 10km run/walk/bike etc. A little heavy today cause I went slightly off my diet yesterday (curly fries and ice cream...) but at least I remembered to snap a selfie! Morning workout at @anytime.fitness.victoria consisted of the #medicineball routine I posted before, substituting the figure 8's for mountain climbers while planking off the MB. 20 reps per set. I also added some mobility stretches in with a stick to open up my shoulders after yesterday's workout. Then home session doing the challenge workout, 5 sets of 30 with 10 mins of mobility drills and stretching between each set. Those 10 min stretching times are proving to be valuable as I get back into lifting and things start becoming tight again. Evening workout at @anytimefitnessmckenzie #legday while listening to @slayerbandofficial then shortened #cardio 30 mins of #recumbentbike and 45 mins of #treadmill so I could make it home in time for a zoom class. Ended the day with the gym zoom class taught by @talia_anderson4 tonight. Some great reps with #spiderguard and other #jiujitsu mobility drills. After a week of killing the body in the gym a class of focusing on how to move properly without being able to use my muscles was just what I needed. Train the mind and the body, right? Here's the legday routine, look to past post for the medicine ball routine, with the above mentioned change. Squats -1x25lb plate/side 2x20, -1x45lb plate/side 3x20 Leg extensions-55lbs 5x20 Calf raises, unweighted 8x20 Leg curls -40lbs 5x20 Leg press -2x45lb plates/side 2x20, -2x45lb plates/side 3x20 1 min rest between each set until done except for the extensions and curls, I did a set of calf raises, basically super setting those 3 exercises. #challengeaccepted #pandasodyssey #bjj #jiujitsu #bjjlife #jiujitsulife #bjjlifestyle #jiujitsulifestyle #bjj4life #jiujitsu4life #brazilianjiujitsu #martialarts #wrestling #judo #fiercestudio #anytimefitness #aftillicum https://www.instagram.com/p/CAwurIVJL2u/?igshid=18i3aob967x6l

#roadto205 day 34 219.6 lbs Day 28 of #30daysofsaitama #saitamachallenge 150 #pushups 150 #squats 150 #situps / #crunches 10km run/walk/bike etc Took a day off on the #kettlebells and #medicineballs as I dont think my core can take that everyday. Also I had to get groceries and gas. It was #shouldersandback today which is my longest workout of the week. To fit in with everything else I broke it into two sessions. First session was at @anytime.fitness.victoria Then the challenge workout at home after shopping. Pushups were difficult to say the least but I got them done! Then after supper it was time for session 2 at @anytimefitnessmckenzie where I finished the day off with a lot of #cardio on the #treadmill and #recumbentbike to hit the daily goal of 5k cal burned. I totally forgot to take any #gymselfies so all you get is a pic of me post workout tired and happy, and a #bathroomselfie in full flex #sorrynotsorry #challengeaccepted #pandasodyssey #bjj #jiujitsu #bjjlife #jiujitsulife #bjjlifestyle #jiujitsulifestyle #bjj4life #jiujitsu4life #brazilianjiujitsu #martialarts #wrestling #judo https://www.instagram.com/p/CAuIs-bpJPQ/?igshid=19xtxici9kb09

Since things are still limited I had to reserve time to workout and was only allowed a 1 hr block. So I did the medicine ball workout in the morning. Went home and did my saitama challenge after breakfast, then hit up @anytimefitnessmckenzie to workout in the evening lifting wieghts and doing the rest of my cardio on the #treadmill I'm testing out doing dynamic workouts as part of my cardio to see if I can get the same results as my 4 hr walks. I burned 5k cal today just as I would just doing the challenge at home and walking, hopefully i can get similar fat burning results while working more functional mobility for #jiujitsu Since some of you like to ask me what I do for workouts here is my full routine from today. Medicine ball routine: (15lb ball) halos 4x10 standing rotations 4x10 Figure 8's 4x10 Medicine ball slams w/sprawls (hands up) 4x10 Russian twists 4x20 Leg twists (ball between knees) 4x10 Toe touch crunches 4x10 All supersetted together with 5 min break between the 4 sets. Weights: arms today Curls - 20lbs 5x20 Overhead tricep curls - 20lbs 5x20 Wrist curls - 10lbs 5x20 Reverse wrist curls - 10lbs 5x20 Dumbbell curls (narrow grip) - 35lbs 5x20 Bench tricep press - 35lbs 5x20 Dumbbell curls (normal grip) - 65lbs 3x10 Double overhead tricep curls - 50lbs 3x10 Preacher curls - 20lbs 4x15 1 min break between each set until done.
