Advocare + Crossfit + Nutrition Plan = Success

They said it couldn't be done. They were all betting against her. Everyone but her mom and myself. Rachael and I were at her parent's house not too long ago. Rachael was looking at old pictures from her prom, and Rachael's mom told her that she still had the dress. Rachael wondered aloud whether she could still fit into it. Let's backtrack a little to a couple of months before.

Rachael had decided that she was ready to follow my plan. She would do whatever workouts, supplements and food plan that I suggested. Naturally we would do Crossfit workouts like my boot campers, she would continue taking Advocare supplements (I'll give you the list at the end) and she would follow the Zone eating plan. The results were what I expected. In 3 months she lost 9 lbs. 123 to 114, she lost 4 inches in her waist and she dropped over 10% of body fat. Not only did she achieve tremendous results, she got so much stronger and faster. The great thing is when you stay on track 85%-90% of the time, you could do the same. We still enjoyed our cheat meals twice a week.

So let's get back to the dress. Rachael put it on with ease. Obviously I was not surprised. So if you want to get back into your prom or maybe even wedding dress, you need to step your game up and follow the plan. Check out the picture below.





















Rachael's daily Advocare routine consists of MNS Max E, OmegaPlex, Meal Replacement Shakes (Vanilla is her favorite), V16, MuscleFuel and Catalyst before workouts and 2 scoops of Post Workout Recovery and 1 scoop of Muscle Gain after her workouts. You can find all of these by clicking HERE.

New Jersey Boot Camps Workout

I've got a workout for you that you can do anywhere. The easiest place to do it would be on a track. Here it is:

Lunge 50 meters
50 sit-ups
Lunge 50 meters
50 push-ups
Lunge 50 meters
50 sit-ups
Lunge 50 meters
50 push-ups

This will take you 1/2 way around the track. After you've done your last set of push-ups, sprint the final 200 meters. Record your time from the start of your first lunge to when you cross the finish line after the 200 meter sprint.

Your goal should be 12 minutes or less. At MAX intensity, this workout should rock you. Email me your time or post your time to comments.









Stay Strong!

This is a Crossfit workout called "Annie" and it's a tough one. I finished in 6:35. Remember, intensity is the key. If you were to do this workout and take your time, not really push too hard, take long water breaks, you will not get much out of it. You have to find that mental ability to push past the fatigue and pain to finish strong. It is too easy to give in, put your hands on your knees and rest. Try this workout and let me know how you do.

Here's a quick video of my new Push Press PR (185lbs).

Back to it!

After a weekend of not the cleanest eating, my wife and I are right back to it. We did manage to do a kettlebell beach workout on Saturday morning. I forgot how hard it is to sprint in the sand. We also did a ridiculous workout on Sunday afternoon.

Sprint 400 meters (1 time around track)
25 Burpees

6 rounds!

I finished in 24:59 and my wife finished in 30:41. Try this one out and let me know how you do.

300 Workout - Sparta Challenge

Last Saturday, we did a group workout. It was an intense 17 minute battle. Here are the scores for the workout: Ethan did 328 reps, Dave did 350, Neil did 397, Lou did 311, Juan did 294, I did 383 and Cleaven did 414. Way to go Cleaven in topping the 400 mark!

It does not appear that it's going to get any easier. I think every one is okay with that. Our bodies have changed quite a bit and it's only been 18 days. Pretty amazing.

If you want to try a sample of our workouts, email mandel.joshua@gmail.com or call 908-418-1829 and I'll let you know when our next open workout is.

Have a great day!

Have a great day!

300 Workout - Sparta Challenge

I have scores from Friday's workout. It was an intense battle. Lou finished in 23:37, Eric finished in 20:37, I finished in 20:04, Dave finished in 26:49 and Brian finished in 22:13. Ethan finished with a time of 32:15 and Juan go 30:20. Great job guys. This week's workouts are not going to be any easier.

I am so pleased with how everyone is doing. Dave said is stomach has already gone way down. The nutrition plan is simple and can be adopted into your daily lifestyle. It is not a diet or meal plan for only 60 days. The 300 Workout - Sparta Challenge teaches and trains you to break mental and physical barriers that transfer to everything you do in life.

Trust me; when you are done with a lot of these workouts, everything will just seem easy.

Have a great day and keep training hard!

300 Workout - Sparta Challenge

Yesterday was a much needed rest day for many of the 300 Workout Sparta Challenge competitors. A few of us did our Tuesday workout yesterday. That just means we did not take our off day. No problem because we are Sparta Warriors! Today's challenge is one of the toughest workouts. I can't wait to get after it. I will post the scores later today.

Still want in? You'll have to prove you are Sparta Challenge worthy at this point!
