Sometimes when training out in the heat during the summer, it feels like working out in a sauna. Hydrating is important for sure, regular cold water and if you like thirst quenchers, go for Liquid Death (I like the Cherry Flavor) and practice deep breathing in the process.
Yesterday, it was already nearly 90 before 11 am here and decided to go to my favorite park and get in a Dopa Workout. The exercises I did were....
10 each and went for as many rounds as I could in 30 minutes practically without stopping. Only stopped maybe once or twice to adjust the handles of the band cause they were starting to slip out a time or two but other than that, never stopped to take a break. Was tough as hell and sweat was just draining out of me like a rainstorm in the amazon. Wanted to test my conditioning and see what I was capable of. Normally, I would do a round, check it off and move onto to the next one until I've done whatever how many rounds. Didn't count rounds, just kept going round after round like my life depended on it.
After, I wanted to film an exercise for my Youtube Channel that expanded on a better view of either one I've already done or just go hard with something. Got in a few Bear Crawl Sprints (DopamineO call them Gorilla Walks in this case) and just went as fast as I could with that band. Had to do a couple takes usually to test the angle but the second one came out well. In a way they were kind of a finisher and I made me breathe hard like a maniac.
Coming home to take a nice shower, I did a weigh in to see where I'm at and I don't know if it's the workouts, my eating habits, the consistent things going or if I'm just doing the right things but I'm officially under 230 lbs. Scale said then and there I'm 228.3 lbs. I was shocked as hell, not just what the number was but the fact I haven't been that weight since I was probably in my early-mid 20's. It was a great feeling and I'm itching closer to being 50 lb less than at my heaviest ever. Been quite a journey and my weight has famously fluctuated for as long as I can remember. Wasn't even a goal of mine, I was really content to be at 230-235 but with the workouts and some of other stuff, it went down and I had fucking Papa Murphey's Pizza (4 slices) the day before so I guess my metabolism is really kicking in apparently.
Haven't been on some crazy program or done fasting or cutting out everything, just trained, minimized a few things here and there and walked more just to the park and it's just down the street lol. Proud to pull it off, fingers crossed it stays consistent and keep things going. Maybe it's the heat draining the sweat out of me when I workout I don't know, maybe its the fat melting like Margaret Hamilton, who really knows, it's kind of exciting.
Keep things going for you and train with a vengeance. Weight Loss doesn't come easily to many, some can, for others it takes time. For me, if I were to truly make it a goal is to take it one day at a time, losing too much weight too fast can cause some issues and it can age you quick (maybe not as quick as Donavan from The Last Crusade IYKYK) so work on doing what's possible, build muscle in the process which will torch the unwanted fat and although it won't be easy, you can make things interesting. Be amazingly awesome.
