Academy Workout

I work as a PT instructor for the Los Rios Community College Police acdaemy as well. They are a motivated bunch of recruits who pay their own way through the academy. This academy has a special place in my heart since this is the same academy that I had went through as a recruit in 1993. (many moons ago, grasshoppa). In the back of their classroom is an award I am proud of, "Most Inspirational" voted on by my academy classmates of Class 13. It reminds me of the great importance we can have on influencing others in a positive (or negative) way.

A circuit both classes did last week. 30 seconds work/30 seconds rest. 90 seconds rest per round/4 rounds.

1. Concept II row
2. DB or KB press/ alt. press
3. Jump rope
4. Physioball situps
5. KB around the body pass
6. Dynamax ball burpee/sprawl wall slam
7. D-ball slams

I did the workout with my recruits while I let my second handle the whistle. It was a good day!

YOU HAVE IT BETTER THAN YOU THINK



My blog is changing, and does life. If no one else reads my blog, it will be fine, this will serve as a reminder to me to stay focused.

My wife asked me the other day what motivates me. I was surprised when I did not have an immediate passioned response. I realized many things, that I was letting myself go through the motions. Stress was reigning supreme, and I was letting it take me for the ride.

I am extremely fortunate to have a partner and soulmate who can check me into reality with one question.
