Great workout today.  Completed the Abs workout with the Total Body workout today and it was an absolute sweat fest. For the cardio workout, my goal was to get through it even though I have a wrist injury from basketball.  (Never have I had so many injuries in my life).  The problem with me is [...]

Rodney Yee went to his first yoga class for simple flexibility – a necessity [...]

Today, my official weigh in was  227.5lbs.  I’m not surprised by the results of week two.  I have enough experience to know that the transformation process comes with its ups.  Hydration levels, muscle mass levels, fat levels in the body.   I need to get more  creative with the meals.  I am going to change that up a little [...]
